Graduation Project.. What do u need to know..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat allah wa barakatoh

From my point of view, I think anybody needs to know somethings and have some tools before starting in the graduation project...

1- You should have an Idea for the project that suits what u need to learn... there will be another post about how to choose ur project's Idea.

2- You should learn some SWE (Software Engineering) methods for developing any application, you don't have to learn them thouroughly but at least u need to know these terms :
- SLC (Software Life Cicle) in general...
- Pair Programming
- Testing technique (Unit Test, .. etc)

3- You should have some tools for development,
- Visual Studio Express (If u r developing using a .NET language)
- Eclipse, NetBeans (If u r develping using Java..)
- SVN server for source control.. and multiple versions watching...
- Issue tracker (I recommend Gemini cuz it has an Academic License, or Fogbugz, they accepted to give us a trial version with full support till we deliver the project)

I'll add things or modify others as time goes.. or maybe not ;)

    Corey,
    Thanks for your help, I checked the installation of BugTracker.net, it looks neat. I would consider sharing in ButTracker tracking website. I believe the UI can be optimized a lot... I have some ideas to enhance the bug tracking support... it would be great if we can speak about that.

    Thanks again

Windows7 adds Math Input Panel

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh… I was reading a windows team post about Input Panels improvements in Windows7 [ here ]. When at the end I saw a very interesting –intuitive if you wish- new thing… which is, as you guessed, the Math Input Panel… Yes, that crappy font is mine… I “drew” that by mouse as I don’t have a tablet pen/pc. You can then paste it directly into word and it’ll recognize it as an editable equation… During my tests, the output panel (the top part) hanged, but I liked that the drawing panel was still responsive and I could still write/erase… till the top one started to respond again… One other thing to know, after you click Insert (that button down there) it copies the equation in MathML [ Wikipedia link ] format.. which is a standard way of representing equations and hence any application that recognizes the format can insert it not as an image but as a nice editable equation… If you think it recognized something wrong, you can click “Sele...

Question Google Chrome Process Isolation Model..

Alsalam alikom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh Google once published this comics book about Google chrome (their Open Source Web Browser) I've linked to one page that I'm concerning about for now... Page 4, Google Chrome Comics Book It explains that Chrome will have separate process per tab, away from the benefits/concerns about this... I was accidently checking chrome's task manager (Shift + Esc) and found something that -apparently- violates this rule... As you see, tab1 process has actually spanned 3 tabs... which is a similar behavior to what IE8 does... I'm not quite sure why this happens in Chrome... but it's just a question to ask... Thanks, Haytham
