Do you know any book, blog, tutorial which explains in a detailed way the use of some open source projects? Maybe you have written such a tutorial, example of open source libraries, and your final product is great for a beginner to understand it.
I'm in the learning stage of OOP and I really need to learn by examples. I'll like to find some text which explains the use of some open source software/libraries and the good practices. Beign honestly I feel scared to use the open source libraries as I wish/think at this moment. I feel like as I still write procedural code and not OOP.
Do you know such tutorials, links, blogs, stories, pages?
PS: I know C and PHP. I can't say that I know C++ yet, and that's why I need your help.

Start with one of the most popular Stack Overflow questions.
Then head over to the FLOSS Manuals site for manuals about all sorts of open-source tools.
If you still have questions, use the Stack Overflow search box liberally!
Enjoy!

Many open source projects have their own documentation pages. So if you are willing to use a library or a project you can refer to the documentation.
Or else you want to get involved in any open source projects.

How to install PhoneGap? [closed]

I am completely new for PhoneGap. I want to learn how to install it on my windows 8 operating system machine. I want guide to how start my work. I am curious about work with PhoneGap.
It won't be easy for people to answer your question here: it's too vague, and there's no definitive answer.
If you are new to any technology you should always start by doing your own research online, follow through any tutorials available, and then post questions on Stack Overflow as you come across specific problems or issues that we can help with.
In this instance PhoneGap has very well-written and detailed sets of documentation to help with first-time users. In particular, a detailed and easy-to-follow Getting Started guide.
There's also a vibrant and helpful community with tutorials, videos, events, blog and Google Groups.
I found all of that with one Google search. Have you tried any of that?

I have to schedule a conference, there is 6 class everyday and more than 10 lecturer,for 14days. some lecturer are available some days, some are not, some prefer some specific day or classess and some days they are off
i googled it so much but couldn't find good material to learn about it.
i want to learn it ground up, it means if i need to learn constrain programming it's okey for me, because i don't have any background about it.
i'm looking for learning material, book and any suggestion about this. someplace in stackoverflow i read genetic algorithm it's good for it but no one was sure about it.
because it's one of the most easy topic that i have to face, and i will face more hard solution in future, i have to learn from basic, new task from my manager and i have to face it.
i appreciate if you suggest any book, site, paper and sources to learn or share with me
OptaPlanner (open source, Java) is used for conference and course scheduling. The download contains the code of a complete course scheduling example called "curriculum course", which is also documented in the reference manual.

Postgresql and OSX [closed]

I have a project that's in the design phase and looking at my options have decided on using Postgresql for the application backend because of licensing and features. I have searched around but I am unable to find any solid information on using Postgresql in Xcode or even with OSX applications. Could someone point me in the right direction any help would be greatly appreciated.
You have not given quite a lot of context.
On the application side there are quite a few pieces of software running under OS X that interface with PostgreSQL, for example the standard GUI pgAdmin.
But I believe you're more concerned about the developers perspective. Probably the most common way is to use the libpq library that comes with PostgreSQL. It is well documented and rather stable. Integration into your software project should be straightforward.
If you are looking for an Objective-C framework, you could try out BaseTen. Never used that one, though.
If you want more specific help, you have to ask more specific questions.

I have recently started developing iPhone apps without any prior theoretical knowledge about iOS or Objective-C, could someone tell where should i start reading about objective C ?
An excellent starting point is the Apple documentation. There are some good books around, too.
After grasping the language constructs, your next stop for more specific information about any iOS controls, concepts and techniques, can be the iOS Developer Library, which is full of guides, references and FAQs.
My favorite site is given below, It includes most of the tutorials and stuff. Hope that helps you. Also you can start with guide from apple

I recommend the following link

Architecture behind large-scale social sites like Twitter - help with a new startup. [closed]

I apologize in advance for this not being a specific programming question, but I believe this is the best place for such an inquiry.
Basically, I have an idea for what I believe to be an interesting social networking site (not just a clone of existing things, but something useful and unique); I have a detailed specification document describing how everything works, but I'm not sure how best to proceed from here. Architecturally, it seems like it would be most similar to something like Twitter, and I have some idea of what technologies are involved in this (SQL database, ajax, mobile integration, etc.). I do not have the time to code everything myself, and honestly some of it is likely beyond me. So, I suppose my pool of questions is something like this:
Assume I am non-programmer with a legitimately good idea for a new and large-scale social networking service, similar (in architecture) to Twitter, and some capital to make it happen:
How do I proceed?
What is the architecture behind a site like Twitter and what technologies does it use? How do I find people with experience building these types of systems for consulting/development purposes?
Are there any initiatives (government or otherwise) that can help me in such a start-up endeavor?
I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, and again I apologize for the broadness of this question.
