  • Top 10 Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets May 28, 2010 by Debra Littlejohn Shinder, MVP Way Back in 2008, I Wrote an Article Titled the Top 10 Vista Sidebar Gadgets
    Top 10 Windows 7 desktop gadgets May 28, 2010 By Debra Littlejohn Shinder, MVP Way back in 2008, I wrote an article titled The top 10 Vista Sidebar Gadgets. Now it's 2010 and I'm running Windows 7, and although I still use most of the gadgets I was using back then, I've also discovered a few new ones that deserve mention. Here are my favorites. 1: All CPU Meter The gadget I used to monitor my dual-core computer running Vista wasn't available in a quad-core version, so I switched to All CPU Meter (Figure A). It supports up to eight cores (so I have room to grow). All CPU Meter isn't as complex as some, but the simplicity works in its favor. It monitors your memory usage as well as CPUs, and it packs a lot of information into a small space. I also like that you can change the Figure A background color to match your preferences. 2: Windows Orb Clock During all the time I used Vista and the first year I used Windows 7, my analog clock gadget of choice was the electric blue version of the one that comes with the operating system. But now I've switched to a much cooler model: the Vista Orb Clock (Figure B). Of course, the same orb is also on the Windows 7 Start menu. I love its clean look and the nice symmetry of having it just across from my Start Menu orb (since I have my Taskbar set to the vertical position.

  • Blogging Resources Lyn Hart the Following Information Is A
    Blogging Resources Lyn Hart The following information is a compilation resulting from my own experiences writing my blog from July 2005 to the present. I do not consider myself a “blog expert.” However, these resources have been very helpful for me and I hope they help others. Please keep in mind that while this information was accurate at the time of this writing, internet technology and websites constantly become obsolete or are upgraded! Blog Service Providers These are “hosting platforms” for blogs. There are many blog service providers in existence. The ones listed below are well known, offer free basic blog accounts, do not require the user to download any software, and a few of them also offer additional “upgraded” accounts with special features that require a yearly subscription fee. All provide step-by-step instructions, templates, customizable design themes, and “Help” forums to assist in blog creation and maintenance. Although they are similar, some are simpler than others to set up and use, some of the features and tools differ slightly between providers, and each provider does have its own style and “feel.” It is advisable to investigate several and choose the one which will best suit your abilities and needs. Blog.com http://blog.com/ Blogger http://www.blogger.com/home TypePad http://www.typepad.com/ Wordpress http://wordpress.com/ Writing Blog Posts Microsoft has code embedded in Word that keeps formatting from being preserved if you try to create a blog post in Word & paste it directly into a blog. Windows Live Writer, a free Microsoft download, allows you to compose posts on your desktop, then either save them as drafts or publish them to your blog.

Microsoft Silverlight позволяет разработчикам с помощью простых и мощных инструментов создавать интерактивные Интернет- приложения, которые становятся все популярнее среди широкого круга пользователей. Данная технология уже используется на многих известных ресурсах – как в мире, так и в России. Silverlight 3 – важный шаг в развитии технологии. Среди новых возможностей можно отметить 3D-трансформации, аппаратное ускорение, работа вне браузера и много другое. Уже более трети Интернет-устройств в мире имеют установленный Silverlight. Принимая во внимание текущую динамику, можно с уверенностью сказать, что данная технология будет и дальше распространяться среди пользователей во всем мире, и Россия здесь не исключение. Менее года назад мы выпустили электронную книгу «Введение в Microsoft Silverlight 2», за это время ее загрузило более 30000 читателей. Для перевода книги по Silverlight 3 мы вновь выбрали издание Лоуренса Морони, основываясь на положительных отзывах от Вас, российских разработчиков, и на международном опыте. Книга представляет комплексный обзор Silverlight 3, который будет интересен как тем, кто уже имеет опыт работы с прошлыми версиями данной технологии, так и для начинающих свой путь в мир Silverlight. В завершение хочу поблагодарить Вас за интерес к технологии Microsoft Silverlight и предлагаю окунуться в увлекательный мир интерактивности.

Before you hang your shingle as a Web publisher, though, you should understand what you’re really doing when you create and publish a Web site. No doubt you’ve already seen a Web site. Web sites are the places you visit as you make your way around the World Wide Web. In the same way as a book is made up of individual pages, a Web site is made up of individual files called Web pages. Web pages contain the text, pictures, and other content you see when you visit a Web site. As you constructCOPYRIGHTED a Web site, you create WebMATERIAL pages and then string the pages together by using hyperlinks. Hyperlinks are the highlighted words and pic- tures inside the page that visitors can click to jump to a different location, page, or Web site. Hyperlinks can also initiate a download or pop open an e-mail window. After your site is complete, you publish it. In other words, you make the site visible to the rest of the world on the World Wide Web (or, if you’re working on an internal company site, on the company’s intranet).

Tarkoituksena on tutkia mikä Silverlight on ja kuinka sitä käyte- tään. Apuna käytetään Expression Studiota, jonka tarkoitus on enimmäkseen tukea Silverlight:a. Expression Stu- dio koostuu useasta ohjelmasta, jotka esitellään tässä työssä. Ohjelmointityöhön liittyy japanin kieli, joten japanin kielestä on oma kohtansa teoriaosuudessa. Ohjelmointityönä on tehty web-sovellus, joka tutustuttaa käyttäjän japanin kielen alkeisiin. Alkuun ongelmat koskivat Silverlight:a ja Expression Studio:a, joiden tuntemus oli heik- koa. Japanin kielestä piti keksiä kaikki harjoitukset ja niiden toimivuutta piti testata, samoin kuin sivuston toimi- vuutta. Työ aloitettiin tutkimalla ja opettelemalla Silverlight:n käyttöä, samalla kun ohjelmointityö oli vielä alkuvaiheessa. Kun Silverlight oli saatu teknillisesti sisäistettyä, voitiin siitä kirjoittaa teoriaa. Ohjelmointityöstä tehtiin lopullinen suunnitelma, kun Silverlight:n käyttö oli hallussa ja selvitettiin mitä Expression
