Looking for a coder to do some work

Allan Irvine

Hope this is the right place for this, I am new. I have a spec to create a (dual screen) framework application that

1 displays mp3, flash, jpegs etc. on top screen
2: displays buttons on bottom screen which alter image when a key is
pressed.

The hardware is a dell pc basically, no mouse and the keyboard is a
simple 8 key pad that outputs numbers 1-8 (I think but can be mapped).
I am looking for the best way to create this and tools to use etc.

The system is basically an information kiosk like you see in airports
etc. the presentation screen on top may show several borderless frames containing differing media.

Hope you can help - any thoughts welcome

I don't understand the last sentence; in particular, "fort hsi" is
beyond my power to decode unambiguously.

I suspect that others have more current experience with kiosk-style
setups. It strikes me that Python might have a particular advantage
at work such as this, which combines curses-level input with graphical
output. I suspect a VB, or, more generally, "forms painter" programmer
would be lost without his usual point-and-click model, while, to
Tkinter of wxPy, it's all just scripts anyway.

What's your real target? Do you want to program this yourself, and
just get help, or do you prefer a specialist just create a turnkey
package and hand it over to you?

Sounds like a generic html based information kiosk.

Anyone can do this pretty easily using embedded IE or Mozilla ActiveX
control wrapped up in Venster. Just run an internal http server in another
thread.. I've done this for desktop apps. Though, full-screen windows I
haven't tried, but should be straightforward .

arithmetic coder

by: Andrew Dalke | last post by:

I was messing around with a project, trying out various compression schemes. One of them was for arithmetic coding. My implementation is .. novel ... because it uses the Rational library for buring those CPU cycles. Here's the output when you run it on the command-line with the file itself as the training set and some text from the file % python arithmetic_coder.py arithmetic_coder.py "def for in tot R"

Old coder wants to catch up - sort of

by: parametriceq | last post by:

Hello, I just realized there's only a "g" separating me from....me? Old Coder or Old Codger? Anyway, I haven't programmed since the late 80's. My experience then was with DEC PDP-11's and VAX's. Primarily Basic and RMS I've let myself get a decade+ behind. There's so much that I don't know that I get lost in getting started.

google "top coder" contest = stacked against C++ coders

by: ziliath | last post by:

I recently tried out the Google "top coder" contest, as a C++ coder. I noticed immediately that they expected me to know STL. To which I say, what the fuck?! I may be missing something, but at what point when learning C++ was I supposed to have picked up STL? I ask because at every job I've had, and every job interview for that matter, whenever STL comes up it's not I, but a manager who says effectively yuck, we don't use that crap.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
