Been looking through a number of other related posts relating to flowchart software.
I have been asked to put together a document outlining some of the typical problems our users encounter with our software product.
What I would like to do, is create an interactive/online flowchart that lets users choose from 4-5 overall headings on whats wrong. Then for this to dynamically expand more choices on pinpointing the problem, and so on and so on, until they can get a resolution to their problem.
The key thing that I have not been able to find in some of the flowchart software out there, is having the click + expand element.
- I dont want all options to appear to the end-user in a huge flow chart as it will distract away from their specific issue.
- I want them to be able to click away and go down a specific avenue that will end up giving them some good things to try, based on their decisions/clicks.
I was originally thinking of perhaps putting something in Flex or Silverlight (ideally someone would have a template out there) but am now thinking of taking advantage of 3rd party (ideally free) software.
This will need to be hosted in a browser.
Any ideas?
Check out FreeMind. It's mind mapping software, so not necessarily a flowcharting tool, but you can use it for what you describe.

I need to move some changes from database a to database b, and some from b to a. Every comparison tool I've used requires you to pick a direction first and if you want to go the other direction, well then you get to wait for it to completely re-compare all over again.
Also the tools I've used don't allow you to make changes on the fly. If I see something I need to update, I've got to go update it using SSMS and then come back to the tool and re-compare all over again.
What I really want is a tool that works just like a text diffing application (BeyondCompare, WinMerge, etc.).
I've thought about trying to write my own app to do this so many times but it's a big undertaking so I always say "nah, it's not worth it". Well I've finally decided to give it a shot but I just want a final word on 2 issues:
1) Have I overlooked some amazing product that already does this? I've searched but haven't found anything. Would hate to waste a lot of time if someone has already done it though.
2) What Diffing api would be best suited for this type of application?
The best tool for doing this action is from redgate called sql compare.

For the last two weeks I have been researching the GIS world for a project I have been tasked with. The end goal is to have thousands of GPS points with information bubbles when you click on the point. This was a pretty simple task and now I'm moving onto the next part of this and I need some help to point me in the correct direction for me to research. What I'm trying to accomplish is to have an Alarm go off when I'm within a certain proximity to these points. I know the OpenGEO suite along with QGis has some GPS functions but what I'm looking for is something that can be used by someone either VIA web or a PC or mobile Application that will alarm on proximity. I have also been looking into Leaflet and OpenLayers in hopes I can do it through these map library's or in junction with them.
What are some ways I could do this? Please do not give me any code because I like to research things to learn. I just need some guidance. Thanks in advance!
Have a look at ifttt.com (if this then that). Here, is a recipe that lights a philips hue light bulb when someone enters an area with android gps app. Best part, you don't have to code anything.
If your solution has to be more inhouse developed, you definitely have to read about the new mysql gis functions. IIRC, you have to use mysql 5.6 or newer.

For a work assignment I have to read through 600-1000 page pdfs and form a general opinion on how similar they are (the extent to which the company putting them out is using 'boilerplate' formats).
I've used Adobe XI Pro DC's comparator software, which can compare two PDFs and highlight the parts that are different or changed. What I'll do is look through the comparison PDF, and any part that isn't highlighted I'll know is the exact same in both PDFs.
The problem with this software is that if the similar portions/strings are very far apart from each other in terms of page count (ex: if the relevant section is on page 100 of the first PDF but page 25 on the second PDF), this comparison software isn't going to catch it.
My ideal PDF comparator software would highlight only sections/paragraphs/strings in the first PDF that cannot be found ANYWHERE in the second PDF. Any section/string/paragraph which is also found in the second PDF, no matter how far apart in terms of page count, would stay unhighlighted.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
You may want to check xdocdiff project (open-source that you may adapt to your needs) and maybe some of these diff tools recommended in TortoiseSVN documentation (open-source and closed source).

Does anybody know if autotrader.com offers an API or something that would help with mass postings of vehicles?
Or does anybody have any idea of what to use to create something like this? I was thinking of maybe a mouse location and click over a browser window type of thing.
AutoTrader provides a bulk upload feature through a file feed process. The file runs through a set of processes to associate it with the proper listing tier (Premium, Feature or Standard) and in addition normalizes the information across vehicle make and models. This process runs several times daily and is being migrated to a near real-time solution for quicker add or updates.
I can find no documentation on it but I've come across this link which seems to provide a json response.

I need to develop an interior designing software :)
Much like a virtual room designing software.
There will be pre-designed 3D objects and they can dragged on to the room. You can change the room size etc... Much like a conventional home designing software :) After the room is designed i should be able to to make the user walk through it...
I know that is a lot of requirements...
But are there any open source IDE's/API's/Engines that can i use to achieve similar results?
What you need to use depends on the level of realism you want to achieve.
For a simple(ish) start, try Google Sketchup - there is a vast array of samples online: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/
For something more powerful (and complicated to use), try Blender
You'll then need to use an API to render and allow user movement - for this, take a look at JMonkeyEngine
FYI - There is a more complete list of modeling apps on the jMonkeyEngine site.
It's not really programming related, but look at Google SketchUp. It also has a powerful SDK which you can use.
For SDK search for '3d scenegraph' in google. Some good ones are Ogre3d, Irrlicht and OpenSceneGraph. If you are planning on a web based solution you can look at several WebGL based scenegraphs, SceneJS and Google O3D are easy to get started with.
