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:

asp.net - Javascript/DOM Why is does my form not support submit()? -

This is my first time working with asp.net and javascript, so I do not know very good web resources, or Much about javascript debugging I have to find out that on line oFormObject.submit (); Microsoft JScript Runtime Error: Object does not support this property or method I am using the link to work as a button because I am terrible in aesthetics and I think That link will look more professional than a table of 50 buttons. I have read that this solution can cause problems with browsers due to pre-rendering of my links and many additional traffic and problems, but CSS gives me a button like a link, which has issues of alignment and difference seemed to. & lt ;!

sockets - Delphi: TTcpServer, connection reset when reading -

I am trying to implement one for Delphi, but there are some problems with communication. Fitnesse will start my process, and give me a portmember as a command line argument. Then I should make a socket on the port number given to me, and fitness will connect to that port I am using a TCPCP server for the job: < Pre> TcpServer1.LocalPort: = ParamStr (ParamCount); TcpServer1 Active: = true; On OnEXEPT () -Event, I send the protocol version to use as specified in the protocol. Process TForm1.TcpServer1Accept (From: TOBject; ClientSocket: TCustomIpClient); Var s: ansistring; Start clientSocket. Syndrome ('slim - v 0.0', # 10); SetLength (S, 6); ClientSketts Receavebook (S, 6); End; When I call ReceiveBuf (), the process ends, and fitness throws an exception: java.net.SocketException: connection Reset I have seen what sent and received. It shows that my code sends the protocol version, fitness sends back a message, and when I try to get this message

javascript - Classic ASP "ExecuteGlobal" statement acting differently on two servers -

-
I have a strange problem that I really do not know. In addition to developing a new ASP.NET site, I have to support the old "classic ASP" site. It is written in VBScript with a batch of JavaScript functions. Many of the JavaScript functions include 'files' Everything is fine on our production system (which security is controlled by another group - this is a military installation) Debugging them once did not work I). However, I have a fix for a vague bug that needs to be fully tested and some functions do not run under the "local" copy of the website that runs on my PC. For the record, I am running IIS 5.1 on XP. The problem is that some Javascript functions are running "OK" on the production server, but when they use it as a server, they are not defined on my PC what is happening that last Programmer, for some reason, has decided to put some functions in a series of files, which according to the observations, imitate the "need_once
