Welcome to this week's edition of your About Programming Newsletter. This week we are looking at how to install MySQL on Windows 7. We also take a look at domain name values, overloading in operators in Ruby, and using the CardLayout.
Have a great week! | |
Installing MySQL on Windows 7
The MySQL database server is one of the most popular open source databases in the world. Although administrators typically install MySQL on a server operating system, it's certainly possible to install it on a desktop operating system like Windows 7. Once you do so, you'll have the tremendous power of the flexible MySQL relational database available to you for free. It's an extremely useful database for both developers and system administrators. Installing MySQL on Windows 7 is an especially valuable tool for those seeking to learn database administration but lack access to a server of their own. Here's a step-by-step walkthrough of the process.
| When Valuing Your Web Business, Don't Forget the Domain Name
Domain names are an important part of a web business. They are an asset to your company and you should be aware of how much they are worth. And if your business is looking for a new domain name it can often be more effective to purchase a domain that is live. But to do that, you should know how to value the domain.
| Overloading Operators in Ruby
Ruby allows you to overload the arithmetic operators (as well as a few others). This allows you define what a + b mean, even though a and b are types that you have defined. This can lead to some very compact and expressive high-level code, as well as allowing you to implement some idiomatic Rubyisms (such as << to append to collections).
| Using the CardLayout
I've had a couple of questions recently on the CardLayout layout manager so it seems a good time to have a look at how the CardLayout can be used. It's perfect if you want to create an application that works like a set of tabs. You can place a number of components into a few different JPanels and then switch between those panels using the CardLayout layout manager. If you want to see it in action then have a look at the CardLayout example program.
