Need a comprehensive tutorial on OpenERP 7.0 - odoo

I am working on OpenERP. But I am not getting its stuff. Please help me. I have Google a lot but nothing meaningful. I Need to understand the flow of information in OpenERP.

This Document will help you to learn OpenERP. Here you can get Technical Documentation, Tutorial, Ebooks, for version 5.0 onward. just discover it!

I totally agree with user 2310840! There's a lot of information for OpenERP 'out there' but it's often too overwhelming, complex or irrelevant for end users. As a result, it's just unclear how all the pieces of the puzzle work together...
For instance, the link of Atul Arvind to the 'Document' is idd a good starting point. However, this is not just a 'document' but rather a link to the official online 'knowledge base'. The table of content for the OpenERP Tutorial alone consists of more than 16 pages! This approach is similar as being forced to read your car manual from top to bottom, before even being able to start your engine...
That's the main reason we recently launched our website 'OERPtuts'. We'll provide easy to follow, step-by-step tutorials for OpenERP end users. You can read our first 'official launch' post at http://oerptuts.com/articles/news/launch-time/.

resources to study smalltalk and pharo?

I have downloaded the pharobyexample.org ebook, but it seems out of sync with the latest release of pharo, also I would like to know about resources which can help me learn smalltalk.
While a bit outdated (or a lot :P), PharoByExample is still the best way to learn you can find around. You can download the image provided in the web page: http://www.pharobyexample.org/image/PBE-OneClick-1.1.app.zip (is not very visible, I'm sorry), and use it to learn... then you can jump to the latest version and you will find all you learned will apply with almost no change :)
You can find other sources to learn, but they are much more distant to the "up to date" versions you can find around: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks.html
You also can look around: http://pharo.org/documentation, there are some good stuff there (including links to Pharo by example, of course!).
Finally, you can also suscribe to pharo-users#lists.pharo.org list... is a list where you can make any questions you want.
Yes there is an updated PBE that you can find here
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/view/Books/job/UpdatedPharoByExample/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/book-result/UpdatedPharoByExample.pdf
other books you can use is this
http://deepintopharo.com/
and this
https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/PharoForTheEnterprise/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/EnterprisePharo.pdf
there are also books you can build by yourself, those are created by executing the download.sh and then the compile.sh scripts. The first script will download Pillar which is a Pharo library that can generate html files.
Building the docs yourself is a very good idea if you want to get the very latest docs for Pharo.
Those books can be found here
https://github.com/SquareBracketAssociates
if you want to also generate a pdf then you will need to install Latex depending on your OS.
All together there is a ton of documentation out there. Unfortunately because most books are very recent , there has not be care to make it easily accessible and visible to newcomers.
pharo-users#lists.pharo.org is also the place to ask for questions if you get stuck in pharo-by-example. If you find any problems with the book, we would certainly like to know about them.
You can also ask questions on IRC (as i have seen you doing) but you need to hang out longer to get any answers. Most pharo users and developers are in different timezones, so they are not usually awake at the same times as you.
update: a while ago the pharo community moved from IRC on to discord. you can find the link on the pharo community page: http://pharo.org/community

Ardor3d API / User Documentation

I recently (as of monday just gone) started a new job where the system they use is based upon ardor3d.
I require a full API list / Any user documentation available as the company have none and from what I can tell the main author of the technology has decided to shut the project down
Any docs or help you gave provide would be fantastic
Thanks
Please read those articles:
Ardor3D on Wikipedia
JogAmp's Ardor3D Continuation Overview
To sum up, your link points out to an obsolete unmaintained version of Ardor3D. I'll publish a huge tutorial about JogAmp's Ardor3D Continuation before the end of September with the detailed procedure to install it, build it and use it with Ant, Maven, Gradle, Eclipse, Netbeans and in command line.
JogAmp's Ardor3D Continuation is alive, I can publish the Java documentation Monday or Tuesday if you really need it.
If you prefer using an obsolete version of Ardor3D, I won't be able to help you and you will miss tons of enhancements, more than 60 commits. Feel free to contact the JogAmp community on our official forum.
N.B: The brand new JogAmp's Ardor3D Continuation user's guide is here, it contains about 95 simple examples, good luck.
N.B: The API documentation is here.
It would appear that for all my searching I've found something.
Given how long it took to find and how obscure it was to actually find I'm going to leave the link for it here:
http://grepcode.com/project/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.ardor3d/ardor3d-core/
In the hopes that if someone else is ever in the same position this'll help them

Resources for beginners to develop with Zope 2

I'm planning to write an application using Zope2; it's not going to be a CMS-ish application but let's say it's a rudimentary "accounting and finance" application. From what I could understand so far (mostly by reading Zope 2 Book), this is not an “instance-space” application and should be written in “Python packages” form.
I've been searching the net for many hours to find a tutorial or a guide on how to start such a project with no luck. What I need, basically, is:
How to create the initial structure of the project? I'm looking for some tool equivalent to grokproject for Zope2.
A very simple example application so I can understand how things are put together. I have absolutely no idea about this and I couldn't find any reference to this topic in Zope 2 Book.
I've already checked Zope 2 Wiki, which hardly looks like a wiki BTW :-), but couldn't find anything useful for my case.
So I'd really appreciate if you could share anything useful in this regard with me.
TIA,
The following, though bumpy, got me started:
Zope 2 Developer's Guide
Zope 2 Book
ZopeSkel for project creationg and doing the initial boilerplate
Zope-ers' priceless help on StackOverflow :-)
Not sure if I should recommend it but reading other products' code (specially SilvaForum and OFS.Folder) really helped me clear thing up in my mind.

Where to get sample Code for titanium code?

I am just a beginner in Titanium and searching for few sample source code to learn from and run. Downloading and working with kitchen sink or with the API is a big pain, to understand as well as to work with.
Although everything is there in both and they have given sample but that seems like not an implementation. I just want to have some source code to learn how, when and where to use the elements? How things work, how are they integrated etc.
Usually at the Q&A section there are samples of code. Just search what you are looking for: http://developer.appcelerator.com/questions/newest
The Wiki provides examples: http://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/guides/Home
Even this website provides code samples, check out the Titanium Tag: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/titanium
And last, but not least, there seem to be more and more code samples in the API Docs: http://developer.appcelerator.com/apidoc/mobile/latest
Good luck!
As an option, you can find good application samples on CodeCanyon. They're not free but you can learn a lot by examining how to start from scratch to build an application like;
Simple Foursquare like apps
Photo gallery apps
TODO apps etc.
http://codecanyon.net/category/mobile/titanium
I found this Forging Titanium series on Vimeo.com to be one of the best. Just watch out this complete series. Beside providing you with basics and advanced limelight on elements and functionality, also provide link to many github public repository we can follow and get numerous sample codes.

Building SAP modules using PowerBuilder

Anybody aware of SAP module(s) being built using PowerBuilder or any road-map in place for such development in future.
There are some modules built in PowerBuilder. As we become more familiar with our SAP side of the business, we are hopeful to learn about more. We've met with the teams that build these modules and are understanding their roadmap and we've discussed the PowerBuilder roadmap with them as well.
Are you using PB to customize SAP? I'd be interested in discussing more of what prompted your question - please email me! I am out of the office today and tomorrow but will be back next week.

If I'm understanding correctly you are wanting to call existing BAPI's via PowerBuilder; for example create a Purchase Requisition using the built in BAPI CreaeFromData ? I have created a couple back in version 8 or 9 of PB and it was quite a challenge it is totally do-able. I have code for creating Purchase Requisitions and have code which calls a custom "in-house" written BAPI.
I actually thought about building an API for all the SAP BAPI's because of how difficult it was and I can usually find the answer to anything on the web, but not this; had to trial and error it.
Two hints. Study the BAPI in SAP Object Explorer or maybe it was called BAPI Browser can't remember, but SAP shows the parameters in different order depending on which way you look at them. To make them work in PB you have to call the parms in the exact order, unlike the Microsoft languages where you can do named arguments and such. Then you have to be sure to make all REF types REF. Any ONE item wrong and you get the dreaded system crash which tells you nothing. If PowerBuilder had not started losing popularity I would have kept writing APIs for various BAPIs
Contact me if you want any sample code. I can't give any exact code from one of my corporate clients but would be happy to get you going in the right direction.
Sincerely,
R
