I have a GWT program with RPCs that works great in Development Mode. It reads/writes from a .txt file in the war folder. I'd like to get it online so, for example, somebody else could visit it on their iPhone using a URL. I own a GoDaddy hosting account.
I've never used Tomcat before. I'm looking for the fastest and easiest way to get my project online. Please help if you can!
If you dont have a Server with a running tomcat/jetty instance and you dont want to host it by yourself, then you should take a look into Google App Engine.
You can find here a very good tutorial, how to publish a GWT-Application to the Google App Engine.

I have a Node.js backend running on an EC2 Instance with a Mongo DB.
I need to make some changes to my iOS App along with the Backend. I have already shared the Frontend Source Code with the developer, but I don't want to share the backend (if I don't have to directly..)
I have come across Github but I am totally new to it - also I am not a developer myself.
How can I use it for my purpose? Also, can 2 developers - say iOS developer and android developer then work on the code at the same time, without causing any mess?
What would you suggest me to do?
Appreciate any help! Thank you
Android and iOS developer can work together it will not cause any issue.
Now coming to your question first of all why a frontend developer needs to look at the backend code?..
If it's necessary ask them particularly what they wants to know may be backend code documentation can help or if the guy just need a look at some specific thing you can use some remote softwares like TeamViewer or else you don't have any options he have to look at code you can use last option to ask him sign the NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement)
me and my friend are developing new code and we want to maintaine from time to time.
we looking for sodtware or service that can provide us what github and his "friends" are providing but we dont want to store our code on the cloud or in the web.
a software that can provide us something like when someone is working on the code so no one else can work on this in the same time' you know what I mean...
can anyone recommand about software or service like this?
thanks a lot!
Gitlab is easy to install on a Linux server.
It offers a lot of features on the open version, it is what you're searching for I guess.
The Gitlab on the cloud is not free, it is similar to Github, but don't worry you won't have to pay unless you need advanced features (out of issues, PR, basic CI, hooks...) https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/#self-managed
First of all you i have to define what you really need. It seems that your are looking for a remote solution that enables you and friends to work together on common code and at the sametime you don't want a "cloud" solution.
By "cloud" i guest you want to say not in internet? If it is so; why don't you try a personnal Gitlab server, hosted on a server in your home or friend's one. If you have serious unix skill this is something that you can envisage or try a private cloud solution as bitbucket.
I have a shared printer that is accessible to Google Cloud Print services. I would like to enable this usage for our users, however, I need to be able to run reports to see who printed what, when. We allocate printer supply costs based on usage, and as far as I can tell, Google doesn't give me a way to get any data about past print jobs other than the name of a job, it's status, and when it happened. What about who did it? I know that Google knows their email address! What about how many pages it was, or what settings were used (b/w vs. color, 1- vs. 2-sided, etc).
I hope I am just missing it.
Also, if perhaps this information is not available through Google's UI but is available through any developer-aimed APIs, that would be great info, because I can certainly get at it from that angle if necessary.
Any help or advice would be great!
I used a different approach then your. I used as a base this library https://github.com/escube/GoogleCloudSpooler i developed and created a web service from it. People can login in my system, upload the file to my server and i log everything there. My service upload to google cloud printer. This is the only way to keep control on how and what peole use my printers.
I should clean my web code in the next code and maybe publish on git hub if someone thinks that can be useful.
I started with python on google app engine 3 months ago.
Then I switched to Play2! on Heroku + mongodb and it is a breeze to work with.
I am really far in my project and I want to release the website in the next couple of days. But I just saw the pricing for SSL on heroku, which is really high.
And I don't want to launch my website without SSL. SSL on heroku costs $20/month without the certificate.
I saw some alternatives in this post What cloud platform supports playframework 2.x deployments?
But I am still not too happy. I want to pay as little as possible to start my website.
So at the moment I am looking on Google App Engine again. This would mean that I have to rewrite my whole DB.
Does GAE restrict some features of play2?
I also saw dotcloud but their pricing page is really confusing. I don't know how far I can go with the sandbox mode, and there is a mark on SSL so I think its somehow included but there is also an SSL addon which doubles the price.
I am okay if my website will cost me more then I will get out of it for a few months, but with the ssl on heroku is just too much.
What would you recommend me?
Edit:
Currently I am looking at openshift which looks kinda interesting. They implemented SSL for free to all users, but I am still not sure if I can use this with my custom domain.
Edit2:
Okay it is only shared ssl. Which means I would have to get "Megashift" which costs $42/month
Edit3:
It seems that I can only deploy war files to GAE, which destroys the purpose of play2.
So I would have to choose between heroku, dotcloud and openshift. And all of them are expensive if you want to use SSL.
I would advice you to give openshift a try
It's free, red hat has stated that it will keep a free offering (it's not just during the beta...)
Here's a screencast:

I doubt that GAE will work properly with Play. The blacklisting of some classes will impact your project with several limitations that you won't have in another environment, and you have the issue of deploying war files (there are plugins for that in Play 2, but still).
Look at it from another point of view:
if your project is a personal "for fun" project with no other aim than trying something, you probably don't need SSL. Even if you really need (or want) SSL, 20$/month is not so much for a hobby, people pay close to that in games like WoW (subscription + extras) each month.
if your project is serious (startup, aiming to get money) you should stop worrying about expenses like 20$. They are investments to get the cash coming. If as a business you are willing to rewrite your code to save just 20$, you are doomed to fail.
I can recommend you Jelastic.
Besides it offers Jelastic SSL and Custom SSL as well at a reasonable price.
Some hosting Providers allow SSL for free for their customers and the price actually varies depending on the Hosting Provider you choose. So you have alternative here.
Jelastic has recently provided a tutorial on how to deploy Play 2 web framework application to the cloud. So you can freely use it as a basis.
Just looking for some help/suggestions with this. I require my own server for an upcoming project that will be hosting users websites. I want to build a control panel the user can log into and modify their website which will be stored elsewhere on the server. This all seems easy enough, It's just managing domains and emails that confuse me.
What should I look for to manage domain names and point them to the correct website and also what would be the best way to manage email accounts/set up new ones etc. I want to avoid cPanel/WHM if possible, I'm looking to control most things through the control panel I will be building. So any suggestions on this would be useful as well, as I will be wanting to add email accounts through php (Can be done using a shell I assume?).
I will also be wanting to measure bandwidth used on the websites contained in each users directory, any suggestions on making this possible?
I'm really looking for some suggestions on what software to use to set this up, any advice would be really helpful!
Thanks,
Graeme
It sounds like you've got a lot of creative room. May I suggest a web framework? Django. With it you can build out a nice control panel, it's template system is clean and concise. It's also based on Python and thats why I suggest it. If there is a python module for it, you can use it in Django... so things like altering, creating, etc. local data/files is a breeze. you simply us Python (you can even forget it's "django"), crunch your data and then spit it out (into django... out to templates.. to display to the user).
You'll likely want AJAXY biznazz, their is a nice Django App for that, Dajax. Django has a rich and helpful community and tons of resources. Just hop on GitHub.com and search for Django, You'll find tons of stuff.
Im building a DNS Control Panel with it. Which sounds like a minimal version of what you're doing.
