Turn your Lotus applications into Web services


Turn your Lotus applications into Web services
As more and more applications use Web services, exposing your Lotus applications within this architecture will keep costs down, increase speed to market, change nothing, and integrate everything. This tutorial will show you how to turn your existing Lotus applications into portable Web services. We'll use the Application Developer configuration of WebSphere Studio to develop and test the Web service, and then deploy the Web service to an IBM WebSphere Application Server. The Web service we'll create will access a Lotus Domino database through an agent written in LotusScript.

Discover Python, Part 7: Explore the Python type hierarchy


Discover Python, Part 7: Explore the Python type hierarchy
This article returns to the exploration of the Python type hierarchy and introduces the Python dictionary container type. Unlike the Python tuple, string, and list container types discussed in previous articles, the dictionary type is an unordered container that relies on a key-to-value mapping. As a result, items in a dictionary are accessed by a key value and not by their location within a sequence. The unique features of the dictionary type may seem unusual, but they provide a great deal of power when used properly.

Create an Eclipse game plug-in, Part 3: Gaming the system


Create an Eclipse game plug-in, Part 3: Gaming the system
Although most users think of Eclipse as an integrated development environment for building Java technology applications, it is really something much more basic. Eclipse is a framework for building plug-ins, allowing you to extend its functionality to solve nearly any problem -- just by leveraging a set of APIs and readily available libraries. In this four-part "Create an Eclipse game plug-in" tutorial series, you will solve a pressing problem most programmers encounter daily: how to break away to play a quick video game without switching applications and making it obvious. You'll develop a simple game that will read the bugs entered on the a view and blast them to bits. The game will run inside Eclipse as a plug-in, that will demonstrate how to write to the Eclipse API, while using the Standard Widget Toolkit, the Open Graphics Library, and the Lightweight Java Games Library. Part 3 games the system up with collision detection between the bugs and BBs, destroying the bugs.

Paint 3-D images with PHP


Paint 3-D images with PHP
PHP, a language originally intended for Web development, has been used for years to manage dynamic Web sites and database applications. Extensions to the language available through the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) have allowed developers to take the language in new and interesting directions. PEAR's Image_3D package is an object-oriented interface for creating three-dimensional (3-D) graphics in a variety of formats, including PNG and SVG, two image formats with increasing support by modern Web browsers. Find out how to use the Image_3D package, learn the limitations of using dynamic 3-D images, and investigate solutions and practical applications of 3-D graphics.

Mastering Ajax, Part 4: Exploiting DOM for Web response


Mastering Ajax, Part 4: Exploiting DOM for Web response
The great divide between programmers (who work with back-end applications) and Web programmers (who spend their time writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) is long standing. However, the Document Object Model (DOM) bridges the chasm and makes working with both XML on the back end and HTML on the front end possible and an effective tool. In this article, Brett McLaughlin introduces the Document Object Model, explains its use in Web pages, and starts to explore its usage from JavaScript.
