Filemaker 11 Certification - filemaker

I want to take the Filemaker Certified Developer course. What reading material, or web-tutorials, would you suggest to prepare for the course?

I would highly suggest that you go thru the FileMaker Training Series (FTS) http://www.filemaker.com/support/training/fts.html in order to study for the exam. FileMaker Pro 11: The Missing Manual is also a good resource.
Good luck, I know very seasoned developers who have not passed the exam.

How migration from learnpress to moodle

How can I migrate platform learnpress/wordpress contains courses pdf and video to moodle ?
Thanks in advance
I think unfortunately this question is too vague to be answered here. How many courses? Are there any blended learning components? Do you want to bring across your existing learners and their learning history? Do you want federated sign in from another system (Microsoft Azure etc.)? Do you have course programmes for different users or groups of users? Do you have any recipes set up that automate progress or signups etc.? Are there any specific features in Moodle that you're wanting to take advantage of? Will any of your business processes change?
Your best bet would be to contact a reputable Moodle specialist and they can take this further for you with a proper quotation for the work which would involve the necessary discovery process and design of a solution in Moodle that does what you need.

CMS martial arts membership management or own?

While I found quite some interesting suggestions on this site (the typical WP vs. Joomla) I just couldn't find an answer that could help me get started.
I know this is close to some of the other CMS questions but I'm missing specificities that need answering.
I'm looking for a CMS that can provide me with the following key functionalities, either through minimal programming or additional plugin installations. I'm stating this because it won't be just me, who can program, but also other trainers who are not technically inclined that will handle the site (in the future).
The functionalities I'm looking for:
Schedule management of training
Trainees of the club must check-in before or after the training to proof attendance, thus site must be mobile friendly. This is more proof-of-concept since not everyone has/wants a smartphone.
Each trainee has his own profile that logs said attendance
Possibility to provide feedback on training. For example: give a thumbs up on the last training, give a "yellow card" if the trainee misbehaved, two/three/four and you're prohibited from training ones/twice/thrice.
The attendance allows the trainee to become eligible for the next exam
Schedule management of said exam
Yearly subscription reminders for the trainees and if under-aged required parent information
Management of trainee profiles and subscriptions
Is the above possible through a CMS or is it too specific and will I need to program this myself? Either is fine by me but I'd first like to find out if a CMS can offer this.
I've decided to Go for a custom solution using ReactJS.
There are very good open-source solutions for the admin part and the open/client part is fairly simple so React is perfect for what I want to achieve. Additionally, it also challenges to think differently since I never worked with ReactJS before.
With ReactJS I have a lot of freedom in how I implement the above scenarios while at the same time have a lot of support available online in cause of issues.

Is there a lot of Plan 9 development?

It seems that the biggest contributors of Plan 9 are no longer in the project and it does not seem that there is a big development. There is 9fans, a mailing list for Plan 9 users, and once a year they usually do a meeting, but I have been surfing the source code and there's a lot of code from 2002-03, other from 2005-06 and a little from 2008-09 (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/plan9/sys/src/).
I wanted to give it a try as a daily use OS (as I am an student and do not need anything serious right now) and I have no idea whether to use it or not because of the development it's going on.
Thank you. It would be great if someone who is up to date with Plan 9 could give me an answer.
I have contacted with one of the organizers of the Plan 9 meeting and conferences and the development is active, although not with a lot of people, but it's interesting for sure.
Here it goes all the development of the system based on Plan 9. Programmers from Bell Labs, for what the person I contacted told me, are also involved in it, so check it out.
This mister also is the lead developer of Plan B, a set of user programs which run on top of Plan 9 (and, I guess, of Nix-OS as well, which is based on Plan 9).
They have even ported it to the Nintendo DS, so if you are one of those that has a Nintendo DS in your home, I'm sure it would be really interesting to check out all the projects related with Plan 9. Here it is the Inferno OS for Nintendo DS (based on Plan 9) that runs on NDS. InfernoOS is also a variant of Plan 9 and runs in any PC (it's not the same as the one I have just talked about. It's the one the Inferno OS NDS is based from).
Also, if you are in Linux, you can run it from Linux itself without a Virtual Machine. Just download the ISO of Plan 9 (or variants, like Nix-OS) and install 9vx. More info, here.
Hope this helps. If I find more information, I will for sure update this post. Sorry for the mess of information.

Plan9 runs on everything from a Raspberry Pi to the IBM Blue Gene supercomputer. I have successfully run it on old PCs salvaged from the company's dumpster.
The Plan9 compiler suite is the foundation of Google's Go language. Of course it helps that some of the people who developed Unix, then Plan9 now work for Google.
I suspect that a lot of very smart folks are using Plan9. Some of those projects are probably too critical to be given too much publicity. Rather like Paul Graham using Common Lisp as the "secret sauce" for ViaWeb.

Does Apple provide an index of localized terms that it uses?

Does Apple provide developers a set of standard terms in differing languages? The reason why I ask is that I'm having portions of my application localized and want standard terminology consistently applied throughout the app. I have utilized some tactics to do this with terms like 'Loading...' by changing the language on my device and observing how Apple has interpreted those terms in other languages. This has only gotten me so far however, and a resource that I can give a translator would go a long way in creating a seamless experience with the consistent application of terminology.
It has been two and a half years since posting my radar, but Apple has finally posted its iOS glossaries:
You can download them from developer.apple.com, or use this link to quickly find them:
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Glossaries%20-%20iOS
EDIT 29 FEB 2020: This link is still valid and the glossaries have been updated on 15 JAN 2020 with everything updated for iOS 13.3.
At WWDC this year I went to the Localization Lab to get an answer to this question, since a bona fide answer from Apple was needed.
From one of their head cheeses in localization he told me that currently there are not any publicly available resources for download for iOS or Snow Leopard. He did tell me, though, that these resources were slated for release in the coming weeks after WWDC.
This answer will be updated when the information becomes available.
UPDATE 19 JUN 2012: Wow, it has been a whole year now! Obviously Apple didn't come through for us 'in a few weeks'. I did talk to them again this year and was given a contact to follow up with via email. I explained that they made a claim to have it last year and this was the response I got:
I did check with the documentation folks and found that they're still
planning on doing this but it's fallen behind other priorities. If you
haven't already done so, would you mind filing a bug report about
this? That's one of the best ways to convey the desire to the
appropriate people. While I've relayed this feedback to some people
it's always best to have a bug report directly from folks outside of
Apple. Feel free to forward me the bug number and I'll keep an eye on
it.
Our best bet at this point is to keep filling bug reports so that this gets more attention. Just for the record, I did file a bug report last year.
Apple provides a number of translation resources that you can download which may or may not be useful. One of these is AppleGlot, a tool for replacing strings in application resources. A number of XML-based glossaries for different languages are also available, but they're specific to AppleGlot. You may be able to make AppleGlot work for you, or you might just want to extract what you can from the language glossaries. AppleGlot and the glossaries were created to support translation of MacOS applications, so the terms are related to MacOS X and not iOS. Nevertheless, I think it's worth a look.

Where can I get Professional Crystal Reports developer support?

I have been struggling for days with a crystal report now. No one can answer my query on stack overflow so is there anywhere I can get some developer support for crystal.
Ideally I want a business objects developer to connect to my machine, look at my code and tell me why the database name refuses to change in any of the examples crystal have provided.
If anyone knows of anyone offering this kind of service, or has some working code to change the database of a crystal report at runtime.
I have asked the question at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4723903/crystal-report-pain-cant-seem-to-change-database
Why is something that should be so simple such a waste of time!?
Part of the problem with your other question is that you didn't include the "Crystal-reports" tag, just the "Crystal-reports 2008" tag. The former is more common and gives you a much wider audience. Fixed.
This doesn't happen too often, but your other question is actually giving users a case of "information overload". I did a print preview and it came out to 7 pages. Can you cut back on some of the code? (Yes, you might accidently omit the real source of the problem, but that's just life)
Paid consultants may be more dedicated to finding the answer, but he/she isn't necessarily smarter. Try the official support page # http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/support. If you purchase a "maintenance agreement" with SAP, you'll get exactly the professional support you're looking for.
(After all this talking, I'd like to just answer your question and be done with it, but I don't know ASP.)
You could also try BOB.
