I'm using Windows Xp and i'm looking for a software where I can see the screen of a remote desktop and be able to show a second mouse (or pointer of any sort) that I can mouse to just show something.
I want to work with a peer over the net, pretty much like the XP programming method. I find it useful, but it's pretty hard over the internet to do such thing.
I don't want to control the computer, but it would be a plus. All I want is to see the remote desktop and have my pointer (or marker) to point to a line of code that need to be changed or something like.
Do you know any software like this ?
You're after something like Microsoft SharedView.
It allows sharing applications etc with multiple pointers.
I already used windows messenger, but I don't remember it to be able to show a second mouse pointer. As I don't want to disrupt the person using the computer, it would only be for some indication.
I already google some solution for VNC, but the only one I found is Collaborative VNC and it's only for Unix.

I would like to know what would be the best programming languages to develop an open source that can work on mainly windows and mac.
any person should be able to change the source code if he/she wanted to without the need to recompile it. this is to allow further development and bug fixing.
The application does not require a massive computational resources and it would have a GUI.
what would you recommend?
the only thing i have in mind is to do the application using matLab. any other choice?
Many thanks for your feedback,
Python. There are many IDEs available, and the code is extremely readable. The community also maintains excellent documentation. I would advise against using Matlab to develop Open Source Software because Matlab itself is not an open source program. Maybe since you are talking about something mathematical, an open source alternative could be Octave? But I don’t really know what you mean by an application. Hope anything I suggested helped.

When I first learned to program I learned to do so with an IDE, and that has stuck with me until recently. The last few months I have been using gedit for a web based project and while the project turned out quite well (check it out here), I felt like gedit didn't provide anything extraordinarily useful. As of now, my two favourite IDE's are Eclipse and Qt Creator. On my laptop (a Zenbook running Ubuntu) Qt Creator starts in one second and Eclipse starts in five, so performance is not an issue. So what would I lose from switching to VIM and what could I gain?
It's not about how fast it starts, although it does indeed start faster. It's about how fast you can edit. By never taking your hands off the keyboard you gain huge amounts of speed and priceless inner peace. You also step into the wonderful world of command line bliss. Things are literally black and white (well, if you wanted them to be). It makes life simple... efficient... fun. Once you go mouseless you never go back.

Of course, there is the UX Design Guidelines for Windows Phone, but it, obviously, miss tips for the window header design and behavior.
I suppose MS is not interested in Metro apps on classic desktop, but may be some one else (hello, Metrotwit team ;) ) wrote something interesting?
You could use the documentation of the Windows 8 Metro apps that is slowly appearing.
When looking at Zune etc. they decided to get rid of the standard chrome/borders and implemented their own.
The problem is that the desktop still requires a minimize/maximize, title while these do not exist on Metro.
My advise copy the ideas from Zune and others. I do not expect any official guidance on this soon.
Metro is also for Windows 8. Take a look at
8 traits of great Metro style apps

Im a total beginner with programming ARM microcontroller, But I do have experience with AVR and PIC microcontrollers.
Few days back i have purchased (STM32 STM32F103VET6 development) from ebay.com.
I'm now trying to programming this board but I dont know where to start. I have also received a cd which contains some datasheets and some documents (all in chinese).
could someone tell me how to start? or have some source samples...
I have already installed Keil uVision4. I also have a J-link debugger.
thank you.
I guess you have almost everythin to start.
Now you may need the STM firmware library. You can download it from the www.st.com web site (http://www.st.com/internet/com/SOFTWARE_RESOURCES/SW_COMPONENT/FIRMWARE/stm32f10x_stdperiph_lib.zip). It contains also a lot of examples.
Which board did you get?
Hope this helps
I may have the same board actually. At first that cd will appear useless but once you explore it a bit you will find that there are a bunch of examples written for that board. I suggest that you start with the most basic example (usually GPIO). Often the more complex examples (MP3 Player and others) have a lot of errors that have to be worked out and it a huge headache for beginners.
your next step would be to find the data sheet for that specific chip. Then loop at the dev board diagrams and find a pin with an LED connected, try to get it to flash. Once you've done that the sky is the limit.
Happy programming

I have a lot of time with only an iPhone to entertain me. Is there a way to writte programs on this thing? Any language, as long as the programs will run either directly in the browser or in an app.
Note: I said on the iPhone, not for the iPhone.
From my guess you want to do programming on your iPhone. You can easily do this by remote desktop'ing into a computer at home (or anywhere) with your iPhone.
You can use Logmein for this. Though I will tell you, it's a little tricky with the on screen keyboard. Then you can pick any language, or any development tools your computer has.
This would be how I would do it (though I'd try to purchase a physical keyboard)
