Web Development Software Help & Support

Please suggest a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Platform

Please suggest a few good brands I should consider...

I expect to use Windows 10 and the .NET Framework set of Dev Tools.

I need a VDI for some development work and expect to also have some offshore developers also help. I presume one VDI per developer.

Make any sense? (This only MAY work with free Open Source software)

Anyway, I need some good branding VDI options. Free is better, but key features may make a small fee worth it.

Thanks

Help me locate an e-learning application.
Someone recommended an app called Evolve? or Evolute? made by a company called Appetiere?
The question marks indicate my mis-duplication of the product and/or manufacturer's name.
1. Can someone correct the name and manufacturer name?
2. Has anyone worked with this app?
3. I've worked with captivate but I think people are moving towards Articulate/Storyline or Lectora?

What is meant by 'website tool'

What are people referring to when they say 'website tool'. I don't think they mean tool used to create website. I think users may use 'website tool' to make their life or work easier? What are some examples of website tools that are in use? How can I use website tool to see what it does?

recommendations for web site design.

I was using muse for a few small web sites I do for clients. they don’t need much more than a presence with a little content. five pages max.

well, Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, has killed off muse.

anyone recommend a good replacement?

I want to do the design work on my local pc and then publish. I don’t care for WIX, or WP. I like to do my own design and publish to my own servers.

Need to host a booklet online

I seek a pre-built web program I can configure with images, text, etc. and host with little programming required.

I hope for animation, etc as the page turns...

WordPress plugin?

It would be great if that app also let me create a printable document which I could use the create real booklets. But, the canned app is more important that formatting the booklet for print.

5.5 X 8.5 dimensions.

small number of pages...perhaps 16 including back and front cover...

Anything exist for that?

Thanks

Is there a way to create a script to log me into my shopify account, and literally make one or two clicks (option changes), and log out?

I need to do the same things every week, and I would like to know if there's a way to automate that? In contacting shopify, they don't allow us to make any changes to the API,
so we can't do it that way.

Upload and 'read' pdf, pass values to web application

I am looking for a plugin that will allow me to scan a PDF file, or grab it from my computer and use it to 'read' some fields in the PDF and save those values into our SQL database.
Our web application is developed in NetCore. and our DB is SQL.

The idea is to scan the PDF (One page), 'upload it' to our web application, and during this upload read the 10 fields included in the PDF and allow the user to save the values of each field into our database without having to type them.

I work on Azure Devops. I was typing a comment on a ticket and somehow the placement of my cursor on the toolbar area activated a button which then navigated me away from the page I was typing in. I did not get a warning 'are you sure you want to leave this page' and lost everything I was typing. Basically, I was typing a comment and the button activated and the page navigated away as I was typing. It was really weird and I don't know how to reproduce the issue.

I'm looking for a preventative tool so hopefully this doesn't happen again. Does Chrome browser have an extension that can be used to prevent this sort of thing from happening? Can it be defined by website url? I obviously don't need it to stop and ask me if I'm ok from navigating away from every single page I'm viewing or working on...just the ones I'm typing and haven't posted my comment yet (ie Azure Devops).

Thank you.

I need to transition to OHV for WordPress

I expect to have some controversial topics on my podcast and hope to use OHV, a provisioning company, instead of a hosting company. But I am not ready to invest $70/month to do this.

https://www.ovh.com/world/

Right now, I am pulling things together using MAMP, but have no plans to purchase the Pro version when it expires. Instead, I hope to host it at a less expensive place when I launch it and get a a solid backup with something like BlogVault, Duplicator or BackupBuddy. I want to move to OHV when I feel the investment pays off.

And, if I get cut off by a hosting provider due to my content, the investment would be worth it immediately.

So, please suggest an inexpensive provider I can start with which has good reliability. I expect to pull thing together on MAMP.

When I buy a plug-in to test on MAMP, is it easy to use it at a hosting provider? I assume there is no licensing issue that would me to purchase a second copy, right?

Thanks.

Do I choose a Theme for PowerPress? Or WordPress?

This is the first WP site I will create myself and have install PowerPress, since I intend to make this a podcast.

So, is the concept of a Theme totally independent of the fact I'll be using PowerPress? Or, are there Themes which are best suited for PowerPress?

Thanks.

Can anyone recommend a good book regarding the development of SaaS packages? Not from a technical standpoint, but more from an administrative/costs standpoint. And yes, I know I have posted a simple question to a very complex issue, but I am having to start somewhere.

Also, I am interested in anyone who wants to work on the project. It is basically a report generation project with a little math. The reasons for going SaaS are simple: (1) maintaining one piece of software; (2) not having to deal with multiple versions of the software; and (3) piracy.

We use our proxy to whitelist certain trusted sites only
(ie by default all URLs out there in the Internet is blacklisted).

We whitelist *.microsoft.com & the O365 URL but these
URLs are further 'linked' to other URLs like
outlook.live.com & a Skype url for business :
need to allow/whitelist these (Skype for home/consumers
not needed, it's only for the 'business' that's needed).

Is there a way to find out all the sub-URLs of the MS sites:
think I've heard of a tool that could 'spider' or 'retrieve'
all sub-URLs within a site but can't recall the tool name.

Also, give a brief instruction on how to use the tool

Zip files before uploading the zip using ASPUpload

We currently use ASPUpload and DropZonejs to drag and drop files and then upload them to our server.

We are looking for a compatible script that will ZIP (compress) the files after the user drags and drops them in the "DropZone", and create one zip file which is the one that would be uploaded using ASPUpload.
Any recommendations on a script that would do this?

We need this for ASP Classic and also for NetCore.

Upgrading Angular 4 to Angular 6

I have a small and working Angular 4 project, but would like to make the switch to Angular 6. How do I do this?

What are the odds it will work with no changes?

Here's a sample of the code:

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { NgFor } from '@angular/common';
import { PuzzlePieceComponent } from '../puzzlepiece/puzzle-piece.component';

@Component({
  selector: 'puzzle-canvas',
  templateUrl: './puzzle-canvas.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./puzzle-canvas.component.css']
})

export class PuzzleCanvasComponent implements OnInit {
  title = 'Puzzle Peace';
  @Input() piece:PuzzlePieceComponent;
  pieces = [];
  rowNames = [];
  columnNames = [];
  columns:number = 8;
  rows:number = 5;

  constructor() { 
    this.rowNames = ['1', '2', '3', '4', '5' ];
    this.columnNames = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F', 'G', 'H' ];
  }

  fireEvent(e){
      console.log(e.type);
  }

  ngOnInit() { 
    let index = 0;
    for(let row = 0; row < this.rows; row++) {
      for(let column = 0; column < this.columns; column++) {
        this.pieces[index] = new PuzzlePieceComponent();
        this.pieces[index].id=index;
        this.pieces[index].row = this.rowNames[row];
        this.pieces[index].column = this.columnNames[column];
        index++;
      }
    }
  }

I've seen a Squarespace website that has a BOOK AN APPOINTMENT button that links to https://abcchiropractor.janeapp.com/. janeapp.com has acquired cloud storage and has created a subdomain for the business abcchiropractor. They've also associated a function with the storage that books appointments after referring to a database, etc. They say they've also created a Charting function that lets doctors keep charts on individual patients.

I want to do something similar, where my clients can have their own space in a cloud where they can describe an idea that they want to develop and bring to market. So after logging in to their cloud area, they could upload videos that described themselves and their idea, as well as images and documents. This could all be viewed by other people, like potential investors.

I'm looking for a development platform that would do as much of the heavy lifting here as possible. My initial thought is to start with a Squarespace site. From there the client would log into their cloud area and upload what they wanted to their private space. Does anyone know of a platform that might work for me here?

Thank you!
