Moving away slightly... but wondered if anyone knew... if I have CS3 on my PC, can I buy the upgrade version for my Mac?

I did Software Engineering at Durham, although the first 2 years were the same for both CS and SE students. I didn't have any A-Level computing experience, or programming experience at all. We learnt Java as the core language, and I found it initially quite challenging during my first year...

Thanks so much for all of your comments guys! You have all been really helpful! :)

To be honest, I haven't really done a lot of web stuff... my main reasoning for trying to learn either C# or VB is due to most of the jobs I've seen require it, or at least want you to have knowledge of how to use it. OK, so I think I understand where the whole .net bit fits in to both...

Thank you so much for all of your really helpful comments! I think I'll invest some time trying to learn a bit of C# then, and see what happens! Love these forums!! :)

Absolutely brilliant! Once again, thanks very much! I've been looking around on the internet with regards to software engineering/development jobs, and a lot of them require knowing how to code in VB.net and C#... so you reckon that have the C# skills would ultimately be more beneficial?

OK awesome! Cheers for that! Right, well I've done 3 years of Java at uni, and a bit of C, and spent my final year coding in C++ for my dissertation. How easy/hard do you think it would be to pick up learning .net and C#/VB? Any good books that you could recommend? Thanks again!

Hi, thanks for replying! So basically, if you can code in C# and/or VB, then the .net bit pretty much follows on...? In a sense, is this comparable to learning how to use additional libraries, in other languages like C++? i.e. you basically utilise .net code and functions in VB/C# Cheers

Right, without trying to sound completely stupid, can someone clarify something for me... Is coding in VB the same as VB.net? And does coding in C# also simply utilise the .net framework? I'm just a bit confused... as I'm sure is apparent! I'm having a bit of a hard time differentiating...

Hi everyone, Right, basically I'm trying to create a java 'map' application, in the style of google maps (i.e. its a map made up of numerous tiles). I have carved my map up, so I now have a series of images, in the format: zoom_x_y.jpg I am trying to use the jxmapviewer from swingx...

I had to use this for a second year uni project... bought a book: Beginning J2ME - Li & Knudson Amazon It's pretty good, as it tells you loads about the platform before you properly get stuck in. Has lots of good tutorials and things in it. Although, I didn't really end up doing any...

I thought I'd try that Coconut Battery app out, and apparently my original capacity was 5500 mAh, and my current is 6342 mAh!! Can this be right?? Btw, it's a 5 month old MBP.

Hey, Seems I figured it out... the functions I needed to overload aren't too well documented. And who says trial and error doesn't work?! :rolleyes:

Hey guys, If anyone has any experience of using the xerces c++ XML SAX parser library, I'd appreciate some help! Basically, when I try to parse a document, I can retrieve the tags, but not the attribute values within the tags. The attribute list always seems empty, so there's nothing to...

Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of a nightmare with some code I'm trying to write in C++. Basically, I have a structure like this: typedef struct{ char *name; string genObs; char *details; char *propAct; int priority; }modelInfo; which is contained within a variable 'void*...

Hey guys, Does anyone know of any way to extract the terrain data from google earth? Basically, I'm after the 3D model that makes up a particular area to use in a uni project. I know you can import/export models in google earth, but its the actual terrain layout that I'm after. Cheers.

Where does it say that? I just peeled the stickers off and stuck them to the back of the piece of paper that I printed the form on. They have processed my application, and said that I will be getting the rebate, so just waiting for the money to go in to my account!

Mine was just a sticker, so I just peeled it off... can you not just do that?!

When I tried to use my external HD with time machine, it prompted me to format the whole thing first! Is there any way around this? i.e. without having to back up my back ups first?!

OK, sorry guys, I re-started and ran the whole thing again, and it went through this time! Sorry, my first time at installing anything Apple, so I'm a bit jumpy!!
