When you're tired of your users asking you to make tiny changes that they could easily handle themselves, it's time to consider a content management system (CMS). If you're a Python or Zope fan, you may have heard of Plone, a powerful and easy-to-use CMS. If not, let Brad Bollenbach convince you to give it a try. http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2004/09/23/plone_features.html ***FreeBSD Bag of Tricks Software junkies like Dru Lavigne always file away interesting new programs for their bag of tricks.

Mitch Tulloch shows you how to quickly troubleshoot and solve printing problems. http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2004/09/28/printer_problems.html ***Master Pages in ASP.NET On many web sites, it is important to achieve a consistent "look and feel" as the user moves from page to page. While this was possible with .NET 1.1, it was difficult and required both programmer and designer discipline. ASP.NET 2.0 makes this far easier with the creation of master pages. Jesse Liberty shows you how master pages work in ASP.NET 2.0. http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/09/27/libertyonwhidbey.html --------------------- Java --------------------- ***Reporting Application Errors by Email Even if your application logs an error to a local file, the developer doesn't know there's a problem until a user notices it and sends the log file back. It can be more useful for apps to email their own error messages back. And as Sean C. Sullivan explains, it's not hard to do with either log4j or java.util.logging. http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/09/29/smtp-logging.html ***Groovy, Java's New Scripting Language When experienced Java developers hear about Groovy, their first reaction is often, "Oh, no, not another scripting language for Java."

Ja. Das hat nichts mit Perl zu tun, sondern ist Sache der Shell und verh?lt sich ?berall genauso -- ausser in der Windows-Welt, die ihre Wurzeln in DOS hat, wo Microsoft, um anders zu sein als Unix, von allen denkbaren Zeichen ausgerechnet den Backslash als Pfadtrenner ausgesucht hat, der in jedem richtigen System von der Shell als Sonderzeichen verstanden wird und zum Entwerten (neudeutsch escapen) des nachfolgenden Zeichens dient. Du kannst die Backslashes ?brigens auch doppeln, dann entwertet der erste Backslash den zweiten eines Paares, und es kommt genau einer dabei heraus. Alternativ kannst du (wenig bekannte Tatsache) auch unter DOS/Windows den Slash als Trenner benutzen -- ausser in COMMAND.COM. ?ber CMD.EXE bin ich mir nicht im Klaren. Du kannst also auch C:/foo/bar.baz schreiben und dir das Herumgealbere mit dem hirntoten Pfadtrenner von WinDOS sparen.
