I've been interested in trying out some graphics work in C and want to start at the basics, 'mode13h' kinda stuff. I've toyed with ncurses but it's really NOT my lib. OpenGL is fine and awesome but I really just want to start with something more BASIC ;) Does anyone know of a library or info...

I do have to agree that Java is definitely one of the best programming languages around. However, half the time it's a pain to do certain tasks [ tis why I gave up C++ for a while ] with java. I have nothing against Obj-C and have toyed with it for some time but find it just as bad as java can...

[ Originally posted on Apple's Developer Discussion, reposted here as I wish to read more opinions on this ] First and foremost, BASIC distributions are always in the demand as the language itself has an easy to use syntax that just about everybody can grasp as well as generally being easy to...

I've been trying to setup my eMac to be the host of a few servers [notably ftp and http] and on the lan everything works fine. However, no matter what I do, the router won't let anyone on the outside connect. I have a belkin F505230-4 and it's ~supposed~ to support port-forwarding and a dmz...

Thanks for the localization tip! Also the grand removal of emacs and a few other non-necessities like python and ruby(still haven't figured out why 10.2 has them but killing both didn't hurt anything =) seems to have given back about a half gig already. Any other little removal tips from...

As much as I love all the little thousands of unix files now strewn across my hard drive, I would like to remove some of them to clear out some space. However, I'm not too sure which the system actually uses. I'm wondering if anyone out there has felt that way and knows of a script or anything...

Actually, I did find a semi-pseudo perfect answer at mac.orielly.com and will repaste it here. I've had this up and running for a bit and toyed with it to my own ends and it works great. Here's the original snippet [place after the "ScriptAlias" directive and entry]: ## ##This matches the...

I have PHP enabled already but I've got a user who wants to have their own cgi-bin, aka "http://localhost/~[username]/cgi-bin/[script].cgi". So how do I go about enabling this via .htaccess/config files? I've tried using google searchs and the like but I'm having no luck (403:Forbidden). I...

I've sent a few letters to the fine folks at the site but have yet to recieve any kind of substantial response but I think many of us would be appreciative for barebones PHP support on our Mac.com accounts. Since most would assume the servers there are run on OS X, it wouldn't be too difficult...

Okay, if you need to have a server side language under your belt, PHP is the way to go. Why? Cause more web hosts provide PHP support than ASP and if you can't build it, there's probably a module for it. If you're going by levels of sheer laziness though, ASP is what you're gonna want...

Just to clarify: 1) Yes, you do need the new Dev Tools from connect.apple.com with the update to X.1. Apple is using a new format so the old tools won't work. This is only a tad of a bother but necessary as the new tools actually are a slight faster than the old ones {CLI only, I never use...

Be wary of the waters of C++. Honestly, you'd be better off learning Java, then taking the next step (yes, the damn pun is going to be intended) and learning Objective-C. Main Reason: C++ is totally dependant upon the compiler you're using. Each company that creates a C++ compiler tends to...

How would I go about the messy business of turning my iMac into a dial up server w/o X-Server? Here's another problem: The user will be on a remote PC. Idea's, tips, tutorials, links, anything will be appreciated. -- For those that are wondering, yes I do have the free time to set all...

I tried that one but then again, I hadn't tried doing ~ftp/etc/ftpmotd and that worked perfectly. Thanks!
