Hi Group,
I want to get into writing portable apps that can run solely off a USB
stick, but I have a few problems.
I'm originally a java/.net developer, but I don't want it to be a
requirement that the host computer has .net or a jre installed. I also
am not very fond of developing with VC++ *cry*.
Also done some perl, so I checked out ruby, python, python.... hey
python seems mature enough and has been around quite long. Yea Python.
So, I wonder if its possible to make distributable python apps that run
off a USB stick?
SQLite seems to be a nice candidate for a USB stick database.
wxPython for the GUI, or maybe even make webapp guis with Django?
Hmm...
Soo....
Checked out movable python, seems pretty nice but I wouldn't be able to
distribute my app with movable python since it seems to require a
separate license. :(
Checked out py2exe but the whole django/sqlite business seems a bit
iffy with py2exe. Probably wouldn't work and the exe could end up
huge.
I'd like to distribute python WITH my app, in a lightweight non-bloated
way, somehow. Don't need a single exe, just a small zip, and one-click
to launch.
Should I be looking at something else than python? TCLKit? StarKIT?
Best regards
Andreas

Hi,
I have been asked to develop an automated cash register application for use
in a typical restaurant. The catch is that it has to run on Windows. My
questions: is the python - wxPython combination mature enough to be able to
build such an app in a portable way? What about printing?
Thanks in advance,
Koen

People in the computing field like to spur the use of spurious jargons.
The less educated they are, the more they like extraneous jargons, such
as in the Unix & Perl community. Unlike mathematicians, where in
mathematics there are no fewer jargons but each and every one are

The portable versions of Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird for use with
USB drives seems like a great idea and one I could make a helluva lot of
use of at work - but before I drive down that particular road, does
anyone know how good / bad / indifferent the implementation of
Javascript is on these apps?
For anyone else who might find them interesting, by the way, they are
all found at the site http://portableapps.com/

In my endless pursuit to hold on to my dinosaur laptop (Dell 1100
Inspiron - circa 2004)...I want to keep as much space free for my
programs to run. The problem is that as new software comes out, they
seem to take up more and more space on the HD.
I use most of the PortableApps.com programs from my usb with great
success and ease.

I think this is on topic here, because it is about C++ and available
portable C++ GUI frameworks.
I am looking for a decent portable C++ (meaning C++ API, not C) GUI
framework that works both on Linux and Windows, so as to study and learn
it. That is, there should be at least one good decent book about it.
One option is QT. QT licensing however, is to pay for the QT framework,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

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,...

I am currently learning how to create and manage the different types of VPNs and I have a question about LAN-to-LAN VPNs.

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
