OLPC development choices -

-

What are my options for developing a piece of software for the OLPC project? By looking at various sites and wiki, I honestly I can say that I'm still totally confused. Is this a sugar, C ++, Smalltalk or python? Thanks!

First of all, brief answer: you want to use Python, And you want to make your dragon program "sugar-free"

There is no Chinese programming language or development toolkit. This is a GUI environment and "activity" framework, children who use on OLPC laptops are called "activities", and Sugars provides a bunch of tools for their use so that they can increase their information to enhanced object databases (user perspective To "Journal"). Etc. in the list of available activities

To make sugars applications, you write them in Python, use pygtk and / or pygames API for graphical work and other Chinese services (like Chinese API for storage), to cameras Access, mike, very cool networking accessories etc). You use a Chinese API to make available as a Chinese program.

You can write C ++ code for OLPC, but Python is the preferred language.

For Smalltalk, the OLPC project provides a zoo environment, but as a tool for construction activities, mainly for the purpose of distributing them for use on OLPC, small children Have to play together. It's not that you can not use it in this way (I think small salt app suction is possible - not sure), but it would be a memory hog, but it would be a memory hog. Smalltalk is not much memory-hungry than Python, but OLPC God has done some clever things to optimize Python memory usage. Originally, almost all Python interpreter memory is shared between all Python-based activities. Adding the Smalltalk Activity in the mix will mean running another interpreter.

You can find lots of activities to see (with source code). If you develop anything for the OLPC, then it is highly recommended that you get a Sugarlabs account and use their git infrastructure ().

I also highly recommend that you join the Chinese development mailing list. Its purpose is mainly to discuss the development of the sugar platform, but there are very useful and very knowledgeable people who can answer the questions and tell you about the right resources.

EDIT: Another useful resource to get started is:

MySql variables and php -

I am getting an error with php in order to format mysql_query () in php to format this string What is the right way? SELECT SELECT SELECT (*) Agents @AgentCount; User_Agent_English, User_Angent_Oursal, US.___Gent_Aginal, COUNT (User_Agent_Percade) ACC, COUNT (*) / (AgentCount) Percentage by agents user_agent_preser order DEC limit limit 50; In PHP, how am i setting $ query $ query = "SELECT count (*) agents @ agentcount; SELECT user_agent_parsed, User_agent_original , COUNT (user_agent_parsed) ascount, COUNT (*) / (@AgentCount) as a percentage by user_agent_parced by URI date DESC limit 50 "; This exact query will work properly if I put it in MySQL directly through a command line session. Do I need to release two separate php calls from mysql_query () and store the results first? I get the following error: There is an error in your SQL syntax; Instead of using a sub-selection and instead of using the 'SELECT user_agent_parsed, user_agent_original, ne...

url rewriting - How to implement the returnurl like SO in PHP? -

-
This URL should work even after the rewrite. Is this possible? Otherwise, I can only hardcoded everything If you are trying to create a login system with redirection You need to use the HTTP_REFERER header to find out where the user came from so that you can send it back there. The best way to do this is to use something like this in your login form: // - Login php & Lt; Input type = "password" name = "password" /> & Lt; Input type = "hidden" name = "returnrelale" value = "& lt ;? php echo $ redirectURL ;? & gt;" / & Gt; & Lt; / Form & gt; Please note that some ISP, browser or proxy will delete the referrer header, so you can not rely on each user to work fully. If you use a statement, to check whether the header exists or not, you can send those users back to the homepage or whatever. Edit If you are looking to use $ _SERVER ['REQUEST_URI'], if you are running Apache It sho...

Which Python client library should I use for CouchdB? -

-
I am starting to experiment with CouchDB because it looks like we have the right solution to certain problems That all the work will be on a new project, which does not have any legacy dependency, which the client library will suggest you use, and why? If we overlap any of the OS. Freeband is available only in the collection of its ports, but asks to use the library's project website. None of those people are Ubuntu, which is only with ships, since those two OSAs are not common in libraries, I am probably installing something from source (and hopefully if I have time, then Ubuntu and FreeBSD People pack the package). For those interests, I want to use CouchDB as a convenient intermediate storage space for data passed between different services - think of a message bus system, but less formalities with. For example, we have daemons that download and pars the web page, then send an interesting bit to other daemons for further processing. Many of them are ill-defined until the...
