NetBeans turns 10 Years!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY NETBEANS"

Yesterday, netbeans turns 10 years old, the famoust ever Java IDE celebrate the event in many activities.
You can review these events on : http://www.netbeans.org/birthday/index.html.

me too celebrate with them with this blog post. :)

Me and NetBeans!
I've used netbeans for more than two years basically as a Java IDE, but beginning from version 6.0 I've discover the C++ IDE and use it internally in my college. for this time I've learn alot about netbeans and about Java which was my working language.

since version 6.1 I've work the PHP editor and HTML, CSS and javascript editor included in it!
It was fantistic time I've spent with this editor, I've like them for the grade I've download the 6.5beta version to test it and test the new features.

I like this experience although it was the first time I work on and review a software release.

NetBeans will help me in Graduation.
Another Story with NetBeans but this time with the API,
this Year is my last year in my college and I should work on Graduation Project which will be a "data base visual design tool", I've choose the NetBeans Application Platform with the visualization tool in making my Graduation project, and I'm sure that the results will be Fantistic.

if you interest in this application you can finad more details on the Project official site

http://visualdb.aig-group.com

and Finally I want to congratulate NetBeans team and
'Happy 10th Birthday NetBeans"

Mono2.0, .NET outside Windows

Although I like .NET technology too much and like work by it, I hate the system Called 'Windows', and this for several reasons no place to list them here!

and as I'm a ubuntu user, I've spend days looking for a way to work with C# on my lovely Linux System, and finally I've found an alternative way to work with C# and .NET other language outside Windows Cage :D

Mono Technology

the Happy news is that mono provide these languages:

• C# 3.0 (including LINQ),
• VB 8,
• Java,
• Python,
• Ruby (http://www.ironruby.net/),
• Eiffel (http://www.eiffel.com/),
• Oxygene (http://remobjects.com/oxygene),
• F# (http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp/),the new member in microsoft languages family

also you will find MonoDeveloper IDE for developing C# and ASP.NET solutions.
last 6/10 the new release Mono2.0 with the previous features which I think will be the best alternative for developing .NET Applications outside Windows Cage.

Access Source Forge Web Space from Ubuntu

Source Forge is on one of the most famous source code repository and acts as a centralized location for software developers to control and manage open source software development.

It provide open source projects hosting with :-

• Allow any project uniquely named in its registry to be sub-domained as
  (http://project-name.sourceforge.net) or (http://project-name.sf.net).
• This gives some prominent URL branding to a project and a high activity in it can get the project listed on the main page http://sourceforge.net as a Top Project.
• SourceForge.net provides ample storage space for a project to completely house their contents such as a wiki, MySQL database, source code versions managed with CVS or Subversion, and even their own website pages at the subdomain location.
  

one of the most useful features in this site is the web space which can be accessed from URL like http://notey.sourceforge.net

which can be accessed from secure shell (SSH)

while I'm using Ubuntu I discover a way to access this site and upload my project site pages from GUI tool, not the shell, the steps are too easy

1. From Places Menu in the Upper Bar :
   Places => Connect to Server
2. In Service Type,
   Select SSh
3. Server is {shell.sourceforge.net} or {shell.sf.net}
   (depending on the given site URL)
4. In Folder: this given to you on the admnstration site.
   in my case it will be /home/groups/n/no/notey
5. In the user name write your
   SourceForge UserName
6. Then Press 'Connect' to connect to the server
7. If Password required, Enter you SourceForge Account PWD
8. Enjoy Your Project's Web Space.

In next Post we will talk about easier
ways to enjoy Linux and Open Source.

The Spirit of OpenSource

one year or less ago since I begin using Linux as my primary operating system.

a year passed and I've learn lot of linux tricks, know lot of friends from linux and make money too,

one year of the Open source spirit and the world of freedom.

Run RM Files on Linux

a very common music files format is .rm files,
on linux, .rm files need special handling which not provided with 'ubuntu' by default (I don't know about other distros)

I've found 'RealPlayer' Music Player version for linux provided by Helix , and here, I'll guide you to Install it on Your Ubuntu Machine.

Installing RealPlayer :
1. Download (RealPlayer 11) from this page http://www.real.com/linux
it will download a .bin file (never mind)
2. After download, from bash, log in as system root (I prefer this way) and run the .bin file.
-> su - (optional but prefered)
> enter toor password
-> cd /home//Desktop
-> ./RealPlayer11GOLD.bin
3. then the installation will begin and ask you about the setup location,
I myself have installed it on /etc/Real , you can change the destination or make like me,


Note, Fedora and openSuse users can download the .rpm file from the same page

Hope I help someone

The magic of OpenSource

It's really Magic when you work with this great world,
The open source world, The World of Innovation, free, great and useful software,
Open Source doesn't mean only to view the source code of software,
it include:
free distributing of the program,
Ya, you should distribute you program without money,
the source code should be included in the software
This mean that you need to attach the source code with your compiled code,
Derived work is Guaranteed
this simply mean that your license should allow others to improve your work as well as derive from your work

and alot of other points that ensure the non-profit concept of your work,

these point and more make the flavor of innovation in our work under the OSI (Open Source Intiative)

In next Posts we will talk more about Open Source most popular software like, gimp, aMule, linux, MySQL, openJDK, and will also talk about the Software forge of all these programs
