Kochi Get GDG Chapter


Google Developers Group (GDG), the non-profit community initiative supported by Google Inc.. It will be soon launched at the Startup Village here in Kochi this Statuday.

What will GDG Kochi do ?

The group once fired up will be catering to the software developers community with events such as tech talks, code contests and hack-athons.

This would be the second GDG in Kerala Trivandrum already has one and is the  and the 380th on the planet.


The first event will be  "Android Bootcamp" its said.

The activities of GDG Kochi is supported by Uttam Tripathi, Programme Manager for Developer Relations at Google India and Bhumika Kaushik, Developer Community Coordinator at Google India.

Pascal Notes. Getting started.



Var declaration


var,var,var .... : Type ;

PChar = > Far ptr ( use for win call in API)




GetMem = > malloc

StrPcopy = > Copy String to Pointer

StrCat() => Concatenates

+  => Concatenate strings


FreeMem => free()



Arrays
======
A: Array [1..8] of integer;


int A[8];



Structures
==========
Type
 MyRec= record
i: integer;
d: Double;
end;

accessing a record( structures)
===============================

var N: MyRec
ebgin
N.i = 1000.1
N.d = 333.4


Pointers
========
Pointer is untyped

Declare Pointers

Declare Typed pointers (like C's *)

e.g:

PInt = ^Integer
PMyClass = ^MyClass



e.g

Program PtrTest

Type
MyRec = record
I: integer
s:String
R:Real
End;

PMyRrec = ^MyRec

var
Rec : PMyRec

begin
 New(Rec)  -> allocate c++ new

Rec^.I:= 10; // ^. in pascal  is the same as    ->  in C
rec^.s:='xx';
rec^.R:= 6.384

Dispose (Rec) // free(ptr)

End.













Some SCJP Notes


Java Rules

class level variables are inited to  default values



&& or ||
 are called Short circuit because
they do not evaluate the next expression if the condtion is false


array length  is  0 based
String length is 1 based 

**SWITCH CASE

ALL *case* statements,
  that are palced after the first case statment that evalautes to
*true*   , will evaluates to true

i.e

switch (i)
{
case 1 :
       

case 2:
    // assume this evalutes     //to true
case 3:

case default :
        //evalautes to         // true 
}


1) -source 1.4 to enable assertions

2)  assert :false  makes disables assertiosn at runtime

3) The assertion statement is defined in the form of Expression1 : Expression2;  where Expression1 is a boolean expression and Expression2 is an expression that has a value

4)Assertion are not to be  used for  argument checking in public methods as it is typically part of the published specifications of a method, and these specifications must be obeyed whether or not assertions are enabled or disabled.

It is aslo not be used do any work that your application requires for correct operation.

5) Switch can use only short and INT

!!!!!EXAM WATCH
        ONE LINE statments after WHILE or FOR

!!!!!!!!EXAM WATCH
        SWITCH inside a (WHILE or FOR) that does NOT use the LOOP counter


6) Local variable get stored on the stack ,Other objects on the STACK


7) An object is can garbage colelcted When an object becomes unreachable by any code NOT JUST OUT OF SCOPE because there can be objects in the outer loop that could be referecing it .

!!EXAM WATCH

               all primitives are a java keywords
        String is an OBJECT and is not a keyword.


!!Exam watch

double cant be used with << opertor



9 )if you yeald a thread it is stopped and goes into ready state

10) you can not start a  dead thread
!! EXAM WATCH ....
                SHORT does not have a declararion such as
        Short k = 35 S ; /// S ??? where did youget that

7) inteface def constants must public static and final

  all methods of the  if needs to be declared by the NOn abstract class.


8)default type of decimal in java is double

9) benefit of encapslation is to that the implementation of a class can be changed without breaking code that uses it.

10) + and - are unary operators

11) use left to right eval for ++ -- opertators .

12) Objective of oops is encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism

!!!EXAM WATCH

 An unsigned right shift >>> by a smaller positive amount (< total of bits of type) of a
 small negative number will result in a large positive number.


!!!EXAM WATCH

   While assigning one type to the other the value should be in range and the precision of the type should not be lost.
   Precision includes sign and decimals.


!!!EXAM WATCH
 
  Construction of a sub class whose Parent Does Not have a Public-Default-Constructor.

  CompileTime Error



13)  The default contstructors modifier is the same as the access to the class

14) Transient and Static Vaiable are not Serializable

15) String Class overrides the equals menthod. StringBuffer does NOT.

15) Constructors and Static methods can not be overridden

16) Static and private methods do not participate in polymorphism .
        Private - > Not Accessible .Static -> Can not be overriden

17) The constructor of the base class is executed first.

18) writing your own DEFAULT CONSTRRUCTOR has NO EFFECT.

19) Nested classes can not be transient.

20) Strangely enough you can define an inner class in an interface.
e.g
interface IFace {
   public class X { //It is not member inner class
      void method_Of_X() {
         System.out.println("Without static modifier, it is still static nested class.");
      }
   }

21) anonymous class has one and only one constructor.
    You cannot explicitly define constructors for anonymous class, but compiler generates
    an constructor for it with the same signature as its parent constructor called.


22) Evaluations in java is from left to right . Beware of the i++  and the ++i operators.


23) Math class and Arrays are not serialzeable


24) Class level variables are inited to  default values

25)
&& or ||
 are called Short circuit because
they do not evaluate the next expression if the condtion is false

26)Length of strings and arrays are 1 based and the array indexes satrt from 0.


!!!EXAM WATCH

**SWITCH CASE

ALL *case* statements,
  that are palced after the first case statment that evalautes to
*true*   , will evaluates to true

i.e

switch (i)
{
case 1 :
       

case 2:
    // assume this evalutes     //to true
case 3:

case default :
        //evalautes to         // true 
}

Getting OLD web Logic to start on XP - Loads Posix

Recently had to visit a client get his old weblogic server to start on his Enterpirse network.

 He said "I just tried _07 (on WinXP) and I not sure but I think the error I'm getting now about 'libmuxer not found' didn' happen with _06. Is that a known problem?

Got it form my memory. The WLS was trying to load the Posix performance pack
So I told him this

"You should be able to correct this with a  vm arg:  -Dos.name="windows 2000".





Well, it feels good to have save a company and some good developers some valuable development time.

Hotmail User Get Scroogled?

Did you know :

Hotmail, Outlook Outage Of 2013 is still on. Rest of the services work Calendar is still down. The word on the street is Microsoft is still experimenting. Way to go guys. I guess this is one of those great things that MS is doing for the network admin community. Now every admin can say if MS whole system can go down so can our! Like they made customers accept bugs with the launch of 97. That cycle was not broken until they launched Win XP. Will there be repeats of this , who the heck knows. I pitty all those people who are running their office on office 360. Too bad. 

This is not to say this can not happen with Google 'cause it has.   Lets me know if  and when you calendar and other services come back online!

A Simple Guide to Migrating your Hosting to server such as EC2 or Rackspace Cloud..

Weather you are doing this for the fun of it or doing for better availability, scalability or pricing; your domain may have the same importance.



Here is a list of steps that can help and may not a be prefect solution all the time but covers many 'oh I should have thought about that stories'.

Stage one:

Ensure that your DNS service allows you to lower you TTL to x seconds / minutes. DYNDNS 
is one such service that allows you to do that.  If you are asking yourself why this should be done the reason is simple. TTL is how long before that new value is queried for. What this means is if your TTL is 30 Seconds, every 30 Seconds you can change your server address. So you potential loss of data is limited to that.

 
Stage two : 
Migrate your email before hand to google apps free or live. Before you set up this forward all mail to new box. This way all mail will still come to your email and will still be live during migration.

Stage 3:
Before you start:
  • Get All your passwords and access mechanisms such as VPN key etc ready and active.
  • Create a situation specific check list which you will need to check in the and before shouting "Im going home !!".

Copy all data and code and the works to new location and test it.  Recommendation use server to server transfer servers are on high bandwidth so its usually faster. Also saves you one step.
Useful commands on Linux.

  • scp
  • ssh
  • rsync
On Amazon EC2, you will need to allow port wise access to get the server accessible via you aws console.





Stage 4: 
 Notify users on upcoming maintenance.

Stage 5: 
Put the old site on maintenance so that new data does not get added during migration after and repeat stage 3  for new data and files.

Tip:
Have a team check and double check every thing. Get your bosses to sign off on working status so that the responsibility is joint.  Expect migration issues due to human error. Address it pro-actively as far as possible.

Important:
Just one more thing have monitoring tools  automatically notify you of downtime as you are in a new setup may be text or email you. Having a blackberry will help for push mails. It better for you to handle it before someone says hey server is down. Media Temple is infamous for unannounced downtime.

Plan for the worst because the best will take care of itself.

All the best for a safe migration!

Apple Filesystem HFS+ is cool becase .....

Here are some reasons why HFS is cool

1) It has built in defgrag ( works when needed / possible )

2) Shrink you Filesystem when need. This is a really cool feature!!! Microsoft must learn this trick. But for now MS can depend on GParted under Linux ;P. What is better it moves the recovery partition when system partition resizing! Intelligent resize! MS are you listening!!

3) It can act as a version control system for your files ( want to go back to the old one 2 hours ago? 2 days  or 2 months. Sure Time machine will allow you to do that )!

Note: TM need HFS.







IOS 5.0.1 is in Beta

iOS 5.0.1 is now in Beta.


Download from. http://developer.apple.com







Apple says "

iOS 5.0.1 beta is now available on the iOS Dev Center. It introduces a new way for developers to specify files that should remain on device, even in low storage situations.


"

Does this mean another XCode update ? God Forbid.


I also feel that Apple has started releasing unstable products. Is this a way to tell the world that the are still some capable hands in Apple. If it is, its definitely not working now!
