Implementation of PHP-Flash-XML - Realtime Graphs!

Hi all,

One great implementation I have of PHP-Flash-XML project is for generating real time graphs. I already have this working for Pie Charts, Bar Graphs and Line Graphs. Now I am working on Line Graphs with 2 or more variables and scatter plots.

For more details about this project, see my website, http://www.vibhumishra.com/index.php?php-flash-xml.

More updates soon...

PHP - XML - Flash Integration

Since the past few months, I have been working on projects involving a great deal of PHP, XML and Flash integration.

Some common example of such integration are dynamic Flash websites, XML-based Flash applications, components for PHP-based websites, the list is endless.

Examples and sample of this work can be seen on my website: www.vibhumishra.com. Over the next few days, I will be putting some samples of the ActionScript involved on this blog as well.

2. I will be putting a number of great example code for those of you starting to learn Python as well as some higher end examples for the more experienced programmers, do check back in soon.

All for now - Please send in your comments - I would love to hear from you!

C / C++ Compilers for Mac OS X

A new post after a long time...

Getting straight to the point, there are loads of C/C++ compilers around.

I used to use one back in the old days of System 9.1... I am forgetting what it was called but it was a pretty good one, a few functions were quirky and sometimes the debug mode didn't work all that well.

Now we have MacOS X, and there are also quite a few compilers around. I will soon put a list of them as well as installing them on the Mac...

Till next time...

Installing Python on Mac OS X (10.3, 10.4 or 10.5) from scratch

Installing Python on a Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther", 10.4 "Tiger" or 10.5 "Leopard" is quite simple and straight forward, the steps are very similar to the ones for

1. Download the installer from http://pythonmac.org/packages/py25-fat/dmg/python-2.5-macosx.dmg (approximately 18MB)
2. Mount the disk image.
   
3. Backup your .bash_profile before you install.
4. Double click MacPython.mpkg to start the install process. This would install the Python Frameworks along with the extras including IDLE. They would be installed in the Applications/MacPython 2.5 folder.

Once installed, you may try the installation with the simple "hello world" trial.

1. Open TextEdit or your favourite text editor, in a blank text only file, type
   print "hello world"
2. Save the file with the extension .py and close the text editor.
   
3. Open this file with IDLE and from the Run menu, select Run Module.
4. You should see hello world in the Python Shell.

All done, Python is now installed! Have fun!

If you have any questions or problems, just post back!
