Should I still drive on with FrontPage, or should I bite the bullet and learn (and buy -- ouch) DreamWeaver?
I'm not a webmaster, just an amateur. My humble personal website was created years ago with FP 98 after a weekend's class and its textbook.
So I'd like to stay with FP, even if the program long ago lost its support from Microsoft.
But I've got a copy of FP2003 and a big, thick book from Microsoft Press called MS FP Inside Out.
Will websites I create, whether for non-profits or my son's business, be readable by modern browsers?
That question probably betrays my ignorance, but had to ask before I devote hours and hours to the program and the book.
Thanks.

Microsoft also have Expression Web. In the past week or so, I replaced SpiderWriter (even older than your FrontPage) with Expression Web 4. Still learning my away around, but not as buggy as SpiderWriter and it hasn't produced obfuscated HTML (something Frontpage was infamous for).

Hi there Ladies and Gents
I am asking this question because this weekend ahas seen me go from a fully haired man to a bold man in let them 24 hours. Google found malware on three site we are running on a shared server. All the files are HTML or Java. I have done some research and this Malware software put a load of numbers and letters at the bottom of the HTML pages. So, I have cleaned the files off the server, and replaced them with clean files from our own hard drives. But within a few minutes the files are infected again. Then looking at the file, there are no bits of code. So when I go back to firefox and look again, after clearing the cache the same thing happens again, the red screen! I am just wondering if, there could be a infection on the shared server and it could be infecting more than just our three website?
Sorry it's long winded - No sleep for 48 hours sorting this out and rebuilding the sites on another server we trust.
Kind regards to all who read this message.
John
Yes. it is possible for malware to infect a whole server.

I know what Mono is but I don't understand why it exists. Why do Novell sponsor the project? I ask the question because I would like to use Mono but I have concerns over its future/commitment. If I better understood why the projects exists I'd feel better about using/recommending it.
How else would any .NET code run on Unix/Linux/iOs?
It exists because Miguel De Icaza saw .NET, liked it and wanted to have it available on Linux. Knowing that Microsoft will probably not port the platform, he decided to do it himself.
Since the code is open source, it is not going away anywhere.
I don't have any inside dope, but I'm not aware of a story other than an interested party that knew Microsoft was unlikely to port .NET to *nix platforms took on the task. It started as open source and picked up Novell sponsorship after it achieved some measure of success.
I don't believe a "better" story would help you feel more comfortable about recommending it. No one knows the future, and Novell's sponsorship isn't a guarantee of success.

I'm learning and doing projects on Grails, but for now it's a little boring because of the repetitive work (GORM, fix bug,...) . I want to "play" a little: making something simple, but useful, so that I can get inspired again with the programing work. For example, I think of something like Workrave, or RainCalendar, or Google StreetView.
The problem is that I'm just a lone programmer, and don't have lots of time for developing my own software. So I posted this question to ask for:
Some idea about a simple-coding program, but useful, interesting (funny is a bonus).
Some where (online) for programmer like me can find interesting project to join? I can code C, C++, Java, Grails and PHP. But other languages is also welcome.
I'll appreciate any idea from everyone.
To Answer your Second question:
sourceforge
And that has a lot of projects running so take a look at their Project Help Wanted board
then join the one you like.
And that should in turn answer your first question

I am currently my software engineering degree and as I am in my second year I need to select a topic for my project. I am totally confused on how to pick a good project topic, which I could use in my final year as well.
I have specialization in the following areas, java, vb.net, sql server 2005 as well as artificial intelligence.
I can also manage with designing interfaces for vb.net in flash.
Any help on a good topic which I should select would be greatly appreciated.
The best projects are the ones that you actually want to build. I struggle with this kind of thing myself in my "outside-of-work" projects.
Gauge the amount of time you have to work on it, that will probably limit your possibilities.
Pick something you're passionate about, even if it means learning a few (small) things -- this isn't a good time to learn C# or Ruby, but using learning how to use encryption in VB.NET is probably small enough.
If you can, build something you can use or that someone close to you can use.
An example:
I built a small P2P messaging client for my 3rd year security course which used Public Key encryption to send messages between clients. It wasn't fancy, but it worked and I managed to build it in about 3 weeks. A few of us used the client in class for the remainder of the term.

While studying different programming languages, I recently hit upon Icon programming language. It seems to have quite cool syntax and functions for string scanning, goal directed execution, generators etc. and it was developed quite a few decades back (1977).
There doesn't seem to be much information available on it regarding the places it is used currently. It doesn't seem to be actively developed or supported also. I was wondering if people really use this language in certain niche areas even today or is the language now primarily of historical interest? Will it have much relevance in future also?
The TIOBE programming language index http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html places it somewhere between 50th and 100th in terms of
the number of skilled engineers world-wide, courses and third party vendors.
If it hasn't gotten any further than that since 1977, I doubt it ever will.
If you're into "cool," complex languages with sophisticated capabilities, Scala may scratch your itch.
