Please, avoid talking about those

I left those aside and am resting a bit. Though I'll get back to C++ soon.
Got some encryption implementation work to do. (mummy, where are you!!)

Mark,
I'm ok with all that. I was just guessing wether or not procedural code was
faster than classes in a web environment. In a workstation environment you
can easily compile you classes as DLL's or equivalent to the system and
cache them (you can also do that with web environment but you need to have
your own server!). This causes calls to the classes to be much more faster.

I'm fine with all you said... specially people being lazy with their SQL. We
too often see "select * from table" then a loop in the recordset to find a
specific record where the whole thing could have been done using a where
condition in the SQL itself!

Personally I've always been taught 2 things

(1) Sofware design is more important than anything else
(2) Make it work first, then optimise.

If you have good software design, you develop faster, and its cheaper to do.. and 
the rest of those good things.

If you develop something that works, then find the bottlenecks, then you actually 
KNOW where the bottlenecks are, rather than guessing.

Sure there are plenty of little tips and tricks you do during coding to make stuff a 
bit faster... but just just because you could write everything inline and make it run 
faster? Would you? hell no.. can't read it worth diddley squat.

Final comment - your BIGGEST slowdown on a site is your Database Queries. If 
you want to make things optimised, work there. Cache your queries, design your 
DB better, and write concise SQL that does ALL the work you need it to, without 
having to get your code (ASP, PHP, whatever) to do any additional work.
(I have a pet peeve about this... people are lazy with their SQL)

Hope that makes sense.

Feel free to disagree ;o)

[wdvltalk] Re: [PHP/ASP] Class v/s Procedural

2003-04-03 Thread Paul Larue
Hi Mark,
Actually that's what I do, each module has it's own class. But I was
wondering if going the procedural way was not faster. When I begun, that was
the way I used to do things. But later I turned down to classes since those
offer more advantages and are easier to manage. But are they faster and do
they really provide performance increases? I did not make any tests like
adding timers to verify but I suppose that they (classes) should be a bit
slower since the page got quite some code to parse before starting
execution. Of course you could always cache the pages but though...

What's your idea on this?

Paul

Neither - build lots of smaller Classes, each with its own specific role within the

[wdvltalk] [PHP/ASP] Class v/s Procedural

2003-04-03 Thread Paul Larue
Hi all,
Glad to see that the list got "livened up" a bit. Still not the 100 posts
per day we used to have in the good ol'days but better than the 4 posts we
had 2 weeks ago!!

Anyway, here's a question:
Concerning web scripting languages like PHP or ASP, is it better to build a
big class containing all the methods/properties that you online app would
need (like db access, xml parsing, file system functions etc) and to call
the appropriate methods/properties whenevr they are needed or is procedural
programming the way to go? By procedural I mean writing the necessary
functions and code in the pages that need them and that's it.

Paul

As you have found out, the competion makes sites that are liquid and if not, they 
are a static size to fit the most common size monitor/resolution of 800x600.

The reason he has his monitor set to 1024 is that gives him room on his desktop 
for other things than a web page/browser; and 840px is more than enough for 
good sites. The extra 40px is probably so he can move his cursor off to the side 
when reading.

[wdvltalk] Re: monitors sizing?

2003-04-03 Thread scaudill
Just at a glance, you have your main layout table set to 906px wide. 
Looks like you'd have to change the layout.  I noted you're using
dreamweaver for an IDE and static HTML pages, did you set up a DW
template?  or are you looking at having to change every page?
I just looked at some of the interior pages and apparently you are not
using any kind of standard template.  I don't see any way around hand
editing every page.  You might want to look really closely at the
methodology with which you are developing your pages and see if you can
come up with some ways to make your life easier.
 
a few suggestions you might look into:
-using server side includes
-some sort of server scripting
-try not to use nested tables
-read the specs for xhtml and live by them
 
I hope this helps some,

[wdvltalk] RE: monitors sizing?

2003-04-03 Thread Cheryl D. Wise
I get a horizontal scroll bar at anything less than 915px wide. You table is
set to 906px wide to which you need to add the browser defaults and space
for scrollbars. So you will always have a horizontal scroll on any 800x600
screen and unless you reduce the size of the image of the Gustavsson's you
will never have a site that will not have scroll bars at 800x600.

For a computer monitor with a screen resolution of 800x600 you must keep the
width under 760px or you will have a horizontal scroll. Some browser will
have one with anything over 740px wide.

The solution is to reduce the size of his image by 100px and tighten up the
rest of the spacing then the page will display without scrollbars. You may
also want to validate your code.

[wdvltalk] Re: monitors sizing?

2003-04-03 Thread Olya_Finnegan

Gerrie,

Your site is in a table of width 906, that is why it will not fit at lower
resolutions of if the browser window is not maximized.

The photograph you are using is 496 pixels wide. The logo is another 310
pixels. Together, they will add up to more than an 800 by 60 resolution can
handle.

If I were you, I would make both the photo and the logo somewhat smaller.
Take the sandbag background graphic, and set it in your stylesheet as a
background for the table. You should be able to use a very small section of
it to give the unbroken effect. Also, you can set you table width to be a
percentage instead of absolute - this way, your table will adjust to
different screen resolution.

You can also use divs for the layout, instead of tables, but if the clients
are still using Netscape 4.7 as their browser, it is safer to stick with
tables.

Rudy has a good article about liquid tables:
http://www.evolt.org/article/Liquid_Tables/20/2321/index.html
and here is a tutorial on creating liquid table layouts:
http://www.dwfaq.com/tutorials/Tables/flexible_tables.asp

Hope this helps,

Olya

I'd say your best bet would be to design for a max width of 720px within
liquid tables of 100%.
That way they'll always fit the screen.

No Problem Steve,

Here's what howstuffworks.com had to say about pgp encryption:

"The sending computer encrypts the document with a symmetric key, then encrypts the 
symmetric key with the public key of the receiving computer. The receiving computer 
uses its private key to decode the symmetric key. It then uses the symmetric key to 
decode the document."

It looks to me like the client would need some special software...

hth,
Stephen Caudill

Stephen,

Thanks for the fast response and good idea! I have heard of using
pgpmail.pl, but I assume this requires the client to have a pgp client
installed and the public key somewhere. I just don't know much about it.

  I'm not aware of any way to 'send' them anything securely.  If its necessary to 
display their information for verification purposes or some such, I would email them a 
link to a secure page.

[wdvltalk] security questions

2003-04-03 Thread Steve Miller
Hello.

I am creating a form section for a client website where some of the form
data will contain  sensitive info (like ssn and driver's license number). I
can serve the form from a secure server, but how do I get the data back to
the client securely? Do I have to use some kind of secure email, or are
there other ways?

Many thanks for any ideas,

steve miller

Jac,

Somehow the orange works for me, too...wasn't sure about it at first
with the others' comments, but...it's Irish.  :-)  It was enough to give
me the itch to go to the rally.

Since I'm an editor at heart, here's a few minor details:

Accommodations page: "Articulated Truck" is misspelled (left column).

Entry form: "read the following carefully:-" <-- might want to delete
the dash.

Entry form, point 7: "Any exhibits after this willl <-- "will" is
misspelled.

Entry form, point 12: "Childern" <-- "children" is misspelled

Entry form, point 12: might want to say "Children under 16 years of age
are forbidden to drive at any time."  If you say "at all times", someone
might interpret that to allow "perhaps some of the time".  :-)

What's "stackmaking"?

[wdvltalk] Back Ups

2003-04-03 Thread Furry, Tim
jac asked:
...if you've got a minute can you recommend a method of backing up
files.

Erich suggested:
Do you have a CD or DVD burner?  I was backing up my home machine on
CD's with no problem. If you don't have a burner consider that a great
investment and write it off.  CD burners are now getting very
reasonable...

And Mark added:
Second Hard Drive. Copy. Paste.
Or Second Computer on Network. Copy. Paste.

Tim sez:
I use both methods.  The midrange hard drives are getting cheap (I can
pick up a new Western Digital 40GB drive for about US$60).  CD burners
are very dependable now and the blank media is running about 20 cents
each in quantity.  I've had excellent luck with HP burners.

As far as web development goes, the CDs are perfect - when I get a site
to a nice "done" stage, it gets burned to a CD, but I leave the CD open.
As things change I can move the updated files out to the CD too, if I
want.  I try to package things so that if a server gets toasted I can
throw the CD in the new server and have the site back up in just a few
minutes.

The second hard drive is great too, since it's quite fast.  Depending on
your situation, you might want to consider the formatting options (NTFS,
FAT32, etc.) in case it must be moved to another machine for recovery.
