Since four months ago I have been working with my new Aluminum MacBook and I have to say that i am very pleased with it. I installed VMware Fusion so I could work with Visual Studio 2008 and C# and so far I have no issues or complains at all.

I have a virtual machine with Windows Vista Ultimate, Visual Studio 2008 and MS SQLExpress 2005. And in this one is where more issues I had. If you are working with MS SQLExpress remember these three things:

1. Download SQL Server Management Studio Express from Microsoft, so you can do many changes to your server connection.

2. Remember to always every time you create a database to insert user and password

3. And as in my case I have an application that is going to reside in just one computer and not need for something else so the connection string is as simple as this:

   string conexionString =

“Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;User = user; Password = passw;Initial Catalog=databasename;Integrated Security=True;”;

And if you still have a issue I recommend you Expert Exchange site, where you will find a lot of experts in many computer and technology related stuff.

The Hex Workshop Hex Editor is a set of hexadecimal development tools for Microsoft Windows, combining advanced binary editing with the ease and flexibility of a word processor. With Hex Workshop you can edit, cut, copy, paste, insert, and delete hex, print customizable hex dumps, and export to RTF or HTML for publishing. Additionally you can goto, find, replace, compare, calculate checksums, add smart bookmarks, color map, and generate character distributions within a sector or file.

Hex Workshop supports drag and drop and is integrated with the Windows operating system so you can quickly and easily hex edit from your most frequently used workspaces. The Data Inspector is perfect for interpreting, viewing, and editing decimal and binary values. Arithmetic, logical, ascii case, and bitwise operations can be used to help manipulation your data in place.An Integrated Structure Viewer allows you to view and edit data in the most intuitive and convenient way.

The struture viewer supports nested structures, references to other structures, along with many atomic data types: char, byte, ubyte, word, uword, long, ulong, longlong, float, double, OLE Date/Time, DOSTIME, DOSDATE, FILETIME, and time_t.Hex Workshop’s smart Bookmarks feature helps you pick apart and label a data file for a single use or to share with friends and co-workers.

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP that provides an extensible architecture for developing, maintaining, and deploying applications. Using commonly known design patterns like MVC and ORM within the convention over configuration paradigm, CakePHP reduces development costs and helps developers write less code.

Features

• No Configuration – Set-up the database and let the magic begin
• Extremely Simple – Just look at the name…It’s Cake
• Clean IP – Every line of code was written by the CakePHP development team
• Best Practices – covering security, authentication, and session handling, among the many other features.
• OO – Whether you are a seasoned object-oriented programmer or a beginner, you’ll feel comfortable .

Is a high-level technical computing language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis, and numeric computation. Using the MATLAB product, you can solve technical computing problems faster than with traditional programming languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran.

You can use MATLAB in a wide range of applications, including signal and image processing, communications, control design, test and measurement, financial modeling and analysis, and computational biology. Add-on toolboxes (collections of special-purpose MATLAB functions, available separately) extend the MATLAB environment to solve particular classes of problems in these application areas.

MATLAB provides a number of features for documenting and sharing your work. You can integrate your MATLAB code with other languages and applications, and distribute your MATLAB algorithms and applications.

Key Features

• High-level language for technical computing
• Development environment for managing code, files, and data
• Interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving
• Mathematical functions for linear algebra, statistics, Fourier analysis, filtering, optimization, and numerical integration
• 2-D and 3-D graphics functions for visualizing data
• Tools for building custom graphical user interfaces
• Functions for integrating MATLAB based algorithms with external applications and languages, such as C, C++, Fortran, Java, COM, and Microsoft Excel

Yes that is right as you read it, here you have the complete source code for Windows. (This was taken from Blogapic.com).

I think there is no reason for explain it even if you know nothing about programming.
