Assembler

Fasm ( http://flatassembler.net ) by Tomasz Grysztar
The flat assembler is a fast and efficient self-assembling 80x86 assembler for DOS, Windows and Linux operating systems. Currently it supports all 8086-80486/Pentium instructions with MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and 3DNow! extensions and x86-64 (both AMD64 and EM64T) instructions, can produce output in binary, MZ, PE, COFF or ELF format. It includes the powerful but easy to use macroinstruction support and does multiple passes to optimize the instruction codes for size. The flat assembler is self-compilable and the full source code is included.

Objective Caml

Overview

Objective Caml is the most popular variant of the Caml language. From a language standpoint, it extends the core Caml language with a fully-fledged object-oriented layer, as well as a powerful module system, all connected by a sound, polymorphic type system featuring type inference.

The Objective Caml system is an industrial-strength implementation of this language, featuring a high-performance native-code compiler (ocamlopt) for 9 processor architectures (IA32, PowerPC, AMD64, Alpha, Sparc, Mips, IA64, HPPA, StrongArm), as well as a bytecode compiler (ocamlc) and an interactive read-eval-print loop (ocaml) for quick development and portability. The Objective Caml distribution includes a comprehensive standard library, a replay debugger (ocamldebug), lexer (ocamllex) and parser (ocamlyacc) generators, a pre-processor pretty-printer (camlp4) and a documentation generator (ocamldoc).
Availability

The Objective Caml system is open source software: the compiler is distributed under the terms of the Q Public License, and its library is under LGPL; please read the license document for more details. A BSD-style license is also available for a fee through the Caml Consortium. The latest release can be freely downloaded on this site, and its user's manual is also available on-line.

Win32++ A C++ Win32 API Framework for Beginners

Why Beginners Shouldn't use MFC (David Nash)
Its my view that MFC is the best framework for professional developers. Its comprehensive, well documented, and officially supported by Microsoft. WTL is also a very impressive body of work. Its a good alternative to MFC for the experienced programmer who wants to work more closely with the Windows API. Even so, I doubt that either of these platforms are an ideal choice for novice C++ programmers.

The reason I take this view is that I believe that both MFC and WTL are tailored more for the professional or experienced programmer than the beginner. Speaking from experience, they don't necessarily meet the requirements of someone looking to teach themselves to program windows in C++. The requirements that I believe a novice programmer is likely to have from a windows framework are somewhat different from the experienced programmer. They include:

• The framework should make it easy to get started. To be fair, MFC attempts to help here by providing wizards to automate some of the programming, and macros to hide some of the complexity. For the experienced programmer these work well. The wizards speed the initial code development, and the macros keep the code tidy and easy to read. The problem for the novice programmer is that they end up with code in their source files they simply don't understand, and that's not a good thing.
• The framework itself should be simple and easy to understand. WTL fails this rather badly. Yes it's neat and brilliantly written, but that's actually its problem. The dependence on templates will put its actual workings beyond the comprehension any normal novice user. MFC also fails this test, simply because its so vast.
• We shouldn't need to learn a lot of new things in order to use it. MFC in particular fails this test. It is a vast and comprehensive library, but this makes it all the more difficult for beginners to get started with it.
• The framework should compile on free compilers, not just Visual Studio. Visual Studio is not cheap, and novice programmers probably won't want to spend lots of money to experiment with C++ and learn to program. Some are probably still at school. Their first choice of a C++ compiler/IDE will probably be a free one like Dev-C++.
• The framework should be freely available and free of charge.

The problem for beginners with frameworks like WTL and MFC is that they are likely to end up with source files that includes lines of code that they don't actually understand. The convenience of wizards in MFC can actually make this problem worse. Novice coders are perhaps encouraged to think that they don't need to understand all the lines of code in their source, since a wizard will do the work for them. When this happens, programming becomes less of a precise science, and more of a black art. Worst of all, the failure to understand their own code is rather likely to hold the novice programmer back, and cause them to gloss over fundamental concepts, like message maps.

In my case, after using MFC for a while I realized that I didn't thoroughly understand the code I was writing. I wasn't happy with that so went back to working with the windows API directly. This framework was the result. I imagine that others who teach themselves to program for windows using C++ would also face similar challenges, and I hope they find the framework I developed useful

how come dun have free one for php?
hehe

Got...

EclipsePHP

I also came across this really awesome editor a few days ago.

• Cross platform (linux, windows, osx)
• Supports multiple programming languages
• Auto completion support
• Syntax checking/coloring
• Multi language support (japanese, chinese etc)
• Code folding!!
• Can be extended via XPI

KomodoEdit . An awesome editor really The other comparable editor would be notepad++ but that only works on windows.

any freeware on php or sql thingie? looking for similar like maya or auto cad free ware as well ... any recdccomened !?

A popular SQL developer tool (especially PL/SQL for Oracle)

http://www.toadsoft.com/

It seems like now it support more variant of DBMS like MsSQL, MySQL and DB2.

And yes, it is a freeware.

Added on July 20, 2007, 7:12 pm IBM(R) DB2(R) Express-C 9, a no-charge version of DB2 Express 9 data server. DB2 Express-C offers the same core data server features as DB2 Express Edition and provides a solid base to build and deploy applications developed using C/C++, Java(tm), .NET(R), PHP, and other programming languages.

DB2 9 is the result of a five-year development project that transformed traditional static database technology into a hybrid data server that merges the high performance and ease of use of DB2 with the extensible benefits of XML.

What's da difference between easyPhp, phpeclipse and easyEclipse?

By the way XAMPP also offer MySQL, PHP and Apache HTTPD server in one installation. Can be used together with phpEclipse..... The version of Xampp I am using is 1.4.9. Seems more stable and able to be used with Eclipse version 3.2.0... So far no problem....

This stated? AutoIt

Aptana is a decent open source IDE for web application development.

The best feature in my opinion is its built-in AJAX libraries. I love writing jQuery with context-menus showing up as I write them.

Supports Ruby On Rails & PHP through plug-ins for those who are concerned.

By the way, jQuery is a good Javascript framework. Yahoo! UI Toolkit is too bloated, probably not my flavour.

Hi all,

Any program/tools I can use to access to Oracle Database and do manipulation (add/edit/remove table collumn, change table structure)?

Thanks all.

Hi clsia,

Use DbVisualizer: http://www.dbvis.com/ or SQLPlus.

This post has been edited by yclian: Mar 1 2008, 07:03 PM

Okay..thanks yclian..

Another nice one to intro is SQL Developer..

Or you can try Toad For OracleToad or SQLTools

For GNU Compiler Collection and Linux-like development tools for C/C++ development - ported for Windows

MinGW and MSYS (minimal Linux-like environment for Windows) - http://www.mingw.org
Cygwin - http://www.cygwin.com (now you can compile TcL/Tk, KDE and GTK/GTK+ program too, with X11 ports included)

Codeblocks anyone?
an opensource+crossplatform IDE.

its the only IDE that can ease my headache when the gnu autotools screwed up lol
