Is there some kind of obvious database should I use for a Bulletin Board if I wanted to code one? I think I know how to code the rest of it, I know the imperative code to handle the logic, but I don't really know much about databases yet. This I can learn of course, I'm just wondering if there is something obvious I should know in the beginning, or an obvious place to start learning, besides sql 101. Also, please don't suggest reading the code of an open source project. I know that option is there. It's hard to decipher code in a language you don't understand really well.
You can check out this place they've got tons of database sample you can use to jumpstart a project http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/

hello a noob question here. I am not sure if I will be able to explain my question correctly, so please bear with me.
I'd like to know if there is a (free, or inexpensive) solution to help visualize (or present to someone) what's happening in a iOS application. Things like what happens first (things initialized, defaults loaded, views drawn etc) then what happens when certain things get touched (buttons, sliders) what happens when certain situations occur. These type of things.
Something like a flowchart, but perhaps cooler with the ability to code snippets, notes, pictures or anything that could help with the visualization. Something like CodeDrawer (which is C/C++ only) but for iOS applications. I'm hoping someone knows what I'm trying to get across here.
cheers

Structure101 has now support for Objective-C. This would maybe worth a try?

I've been learning PHP OOP for quite a while and I've loved getting to know the language, finding solutions to problems and so forth.
Although, quite often, people keep recommending different frameworks for me to start using. I can imagine using a framework is more efficient, time effective and so forth but It seems to take quite a lot of the fun out of things.
My next challenge is to create a fully functional tutorial website and blog.
My question is, do you use a PHP framework and should I really start using one?
I was also debating whether to use CodeIgniter or CakePHP...

I would like to know if there are any tutorial websites for learning PyObjC apart from the home page of the project itself. I'm enthusiastic about being able to use python to develop native code and be productive without learning how to program in some of the other more traditional compiled languages. Anywhere I could get a screencast or good beginner tuts would be excellent.
You could start with Will Larson's stuff. You could read the Apple docs and do the temperature conversion thingie. You could do what I did and get Hillegass's book and then do the examples using PyObjC. You could read my stuff. I have lots of simple examples, but I'm just an amateur. You don't need to worry about Objective-C yet, but if you stick with it, you probably will.
And you really must learn that case matters.

I have done some research and found test plan over 40 pages. It includes so many elements that it is difficult to keep track. Additionally, it is not provided any examples, just a description of the different tests such as acceptance test, system test, etc. If anyone have made some good and simple test plan for the development of a product and could share, so that I can gain inspiration with example would be very helpful.
yeah, i find that a pain to when i just want to do the thing, and people explain around it - im like "just bloody show me an example template i can rip off!"
this is why i write my articles with a pragmatic approach (e.g. Writing a System Test Plan)
its short, has an explanation of the reasoning behind the test structure, and gives the actual template

I need to implement a Diff algorithm in VB.NET to find the changes between two different versions of a piece of text. I've had a scout around the web and have found a couple of different algorithms.
Does anybody here know of a 'best' algorithm that I could implement?
Well I've used the c# version on codeproject and its really good for what I wanted...
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/diffengine.aspx
You can probably get this translated into VB.net via an online converter if you can't do it yourself...
I like An O(ND) Difference Algorithm and Its Variations by Eugene Myers. I believe it's the algorithm that was used in GNU diff. For a good background see Wikipedia.
This is quite theoretical and you might wish to find source code, but I'm not aware of any in VB.
I don't know for sure if it's the best diff algorithms but you might want to check out those links that talks about SOCT4 and SOCT6
