maga – Looks similar to Scratch, can you post a review when it arrives

Funny you should say that I was wondering if I should have recommended using Git

You would need them to get interested in it before exposing them to the full horror of Java Swing or Eclipse RCP!

I don’t think I’d recommend using Swing or RCP for anything these days, I like Java, think that its going to be the next Cobol (and I mean that in a good way) and in the interests of full disclosure its keep a roof over my head for the last 5 years or so.

If you asked me what to use to develop a graphical user interface for a rich client windows application I’m not sure what I’d suggest.

There are some really good answers already from people who clearly know a lot about programming; Molgrips sums up my view on programming really well, particularly about programmers being born, not made. My only qualification in this is failing to get my 10 year old daughter interested in coding so treat this advice accordingly:

In my opinion you are getting answers from two groups, hardware and software developers. If you and your daughter are interested in hardware the then the an Arduino or Lego is a good option as you are working with a tangible thing.

If you are interested in software stick with the laptop and use a language with an Integrated Debugging Environment (IDE) that way you can visualise the execution of you code and see why it isn’t working. Don’t try to code using notepad and a separate compiler/linker etc.

Take a look at Pencil Code[/url] and book by David Bau its based on his experience teaching children to code.
If you want the try Java with and IDE there is Greenfoot.

The best advice I can give is find a problem you want to solve and work on it together, There is nothing like having/wanting to do something to motivate your learning. Take a look at /r/DailyProgrammer and try to implement Rock Paper Lizard Spock[/url], Hangman or Guess the Number.

Lean together and treat it as pair programming

I you have an AMD graphics card you may need a DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter. The key part is that its “Active” I found that I could use two ports with a passive adapter and thee with one active, one passive and one HMDI cable

I’m working my way through a similar project. I tried using Nitromos but it didn’t go through all the layers. I eventually switched over to using a heat gun to remove most of the paint, then paint stripper and finally sanding down with an electric sander.

When B&Q started setting Nitromos in smaller tins I switched to Paramose Paint and Varnish Remover (thick). It’s just as good and works out about half the price.

You must get a mask before using either the hot air gun or paint stripper, I use a 3M one like this[/url]. You will also need rubber gloves and ware a long sleeved top – the hot paint will burn and chemical burns can be a problem. I’d also suggest ear defenders as the hot air guns can be quite loud.

It is without doubt one of the least pleasant job I have done but the end results are fantastic.

How about this one from EL[/url]

I think it connects to your router so its not really wifi but there is a smartphone app

I was very disappointed, it felt more like a traveling exhibit than a permanent museum – no real substance.

Nowhere near as good as Duxford, MOSI [/url] is much better in my opinion.

I would start with a Chiropodist [/url]

I’ve had two Endura Flyte jackets (the first replaced by Endura) and in both cases the rubber wrist closure strips broke very quickly.

On the second on the tag on the pocket zip snapped off

I’ll be sending the second one back when I get round to it.

Can’t comment on Yell but how about a link to your current site?

“Are you overweight? Do you actually ride your bike much? Do you work in IT?”

Even more surprising is the number of members who not only meet at least two of these categories but are also called Graham. I’ve considered organising a group ride

Check out this guide where they use date use month

Also not a SQL Server user

If you are looking for ideas you could also take a look at NerdKits[/url]

if your son is interested in hardware and either BlueJ [/url]or Greenfoot for programming both of which use Java as a basis for learning to program.

I also like the Head First[/url] books foe beginners.

what device is it?

Cruise missile :wink:[/quote]

Only if you can disable the COCOM Limits[/url]

wash your hands more

Came here to say this. Can’t find any supporting evidence ATM other than this

Maybe get one of those little alcohol gel hand washes that clip to your belt.

Given that Ibis sell the Tranny as a singlespeed I’d imagine that its “hard enough”.

What about jolly Scotland though?

I was going to work out difference in Longitude between Greenwich and Edinburgh and propose a shift to Edinburgh Mean Time (EMT)

TandemJeremy, surly Scotland can remain on GMT – devolved powers and all that.

Llandegla. New trail sections and a really good cafe for after the ride.

I guess that it would be had to enforce a permit system – much easier to charge for parking or run a cafe/shop

And another update… Are you interested in software development generally or web development specifically? Don’t feel you need to limit yourself to just web development

My degree is in Civil Engineering and I develop hydraulic modelling software, have you considered developing software in a field related to your current experience?

Update following your last post. For a developer I don’t think that a portfolio will matter as must as sold experience and a good CV. Take look at these courses here and here they cover the sort of technologies I’d expect a Java web developer to be familiar with (a Microsoft developer would have corresponding but different skills)

You don’t need to go on lots of courses, there are loads of tutorials on the web.

Although I have a degree it’s not in Software Development/Computer Science

Do you want to be a Web Designer or a Web Developer?

Software Developer here (sort of) – I’ve always thought that Web Design was a bit more about the look and feel whereas development was more about the code and business logic.

If it’s a new build check if you are connected the drains or have soakaways. If you have soakaways then you can reduce your bill

How important is if to have a cooked meal? Have you considered Raw Food?

You can then add dried or preserved meats and cheese as required.

Will you have access to a fridge?

are the shimano XT ones worth a look – or is is hope hoops/stans all the way? Little bit cheaper – but not much.

Some people (myself included) prefer cartridge bearings (used in Hope hubs) over Shimano cup and cone. I had problems with my XT wheels when the Freehub seized and wouldn’t engage. Unfortunately the Freehub is a sealed unit and I couldn’t find a replacement, when I did it was almost as much as a full hub. I fixed it eventually by soaking it in degreaser and then light oil. If it was a Hope I could have stripped it down and cleaned it.

Other thoughts:
The Shimanos come with quick release skewers, extra cost on the Hopes
The Hopes are compatible with all current front wheel standards the ones you linked to are q/r and may not be convertible.

What width were you thinking of getting? I found that a lot of bars I would have considered weren’t available in the width I was looking for.

I used a Lizard Skin shock boot for a while but as I normally used a rear mudguard decided that it wasn’t really needed.

Hope Hoops is Hope’s name for their factory wheelsets anyone else can (hand) build a wheel using a Hope hub.

You can get the Flows from Simon at Progressive Bikes for £269.99. I’ve bought stuff from Simon in the past and would recommend him/his company.

I have no direct experience of fastpartsforbikes but review these threads before making a decision here and here

There have been a few discussions about them over the last few days

My opinion is that if you are just going to use the web browser and email then its good vfm but a Android or iPad is going to get better support from third party developers over the next few months/years.

I think that only the profit was privatized

Still waiting for a few parts to arrive (and the hall has just been re-plastered):

No idea of the weight I’m afraid.

If it’s this one the short answer is no.

The long answer:

The tricky bit is “can I download routes from the web straight onto it?”

You can download routes, convert them if needed, import then in to a mapping program (i use Tracklogs [/url]) or possibly Gramin training center and then send them to the device but you will not the “turn by turn” navivawtion you would get on a TomTom or eTrex[/url].

You would be better of thinking of the 205 and 305 as a very posh bike computer rather then a navigation device.

Merlin have the non-mmx version for £194

BETD?

It worries me what will become of our city centres

Why?

A lot of interdependent relaters just can’t afford the rents of Blue Water/Lakeside/The Traffard Center.

but how many of us go in take a butchers and then buy it cheaper online?

My dad is a butcher, growing up there where 6 butchers in town, now there is just one. Supermarkets have completely changed the game. Watch out for Tesco and Asda, if they can sell your product better/cheaper they will.
