Twitter for Programmers

Network with other programmers

Networking is one of the best things you can do for your career. Not only can networking help you find a job,found that programmers are generally very helpful and accessible on twitter. Programmers love it when you ask about a project they are involved with. Call it an ego thing.

One other really cool networking use for twitter: having something to talk about when you meet at JUGs or conferences. A follow request is an instant icebreaker and gets the networking process started for you.

Keep up on trends

You already know that software engineering is a constantly changing field. Twitter is a great way to learn how and when to branch out from your areas of focus. Even better, if you have a question about a new technology you can ask your posse without fear.

What will happen to Sun Microsystems and Java ?

          Oracle-Sun Summary Points:

• Oracle has a long history of engaging with developers on many levels and this history will continue with respect to Sun’s developer communities
• The Oracle Technology Network (OTN) is one of the industry’s largest developer communities for both Oracle technologies as well as other industry-standard technologies such as Java and Linux. It is similar to the Sun Developer Network (SDN) in that it binds together the technical end-user community as well as Oracle developers and managers.
• OTN features events, news, blogs, articles, wikis, discussions/forums, webcasts, downloads, FAQs, and more across a wide range of technology aspects, including databases, middleware, developer tools, enterprise management, and applications. Specifically for Java, check out the Java Developer Center.
• Many of Sun’s developer sites and communities will remain unchanged in the near future: The Sun Developer Network (SDN), java.sun.com, java.net, BigAdmin, NetBeans.org, and others continue to operate normally. Some may be redesigned and integrated into OTN in the future in communication with the developer community.
• Oracle enthusiastically supports Sun’s user groups such as the Java User Groups (JUGs), OpenSolaris User Groups, Java Champions, and other Sun-related user groups and has already started to reach out to these groups.
• Oracle will also continue the tradition of Java evangelists committed to developer outreach, events, and programs.
• Oracle will continue to invest in the Sun Academic Initiative (SAI) and Java Education and Development Initiative (JEDI) as well as in student communities generally, although the programs may be modified somewhat or migrated over to the Oracle Academy. More details to be provided as they become available.
• Certification programs for Sun technologies: Oracle is committed to provide comprehensive training and certification programs in Sun technologies and will honor exam vouchers purchased through Sun.

How to Install The Java Communications API in a Windows

The following files are the core of JAVA Communication API, and they are very important to have them installed on your system for a proper operation.

• comm.jar
• win32com.dll
• javax.comm.properties

For the jdk (Java Development Kit) to recognize the serial ports on your machine, it is important to properly place these files in the right folders on your local machine .
To Find your JDK directory, Use the Following steps:
1. Click on Start
2. Click on Search
3. Click on For Files or Folders …
4. In the Left hand Side, Click on All Files and Folders 5. Type in jdk* in the textbox under All or part of the file name: 6. Click Search
7. Look for yellow icon that looks like a folder
8. Double Clikc on the folder to open the jdk folder
comm.jar should be placed in:

%JAVA_HOME%/lib

    %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/ext

win32com.dll should be placed in:

%JAVA_HOME%/bin

    %JAVA_HOME%/jre/bin

    %windir%System32

javax.comm.properties should be placed in:

%JAVA_HOME%/lib

    %JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib

SMS based result declaration in Java using Mobile as Modem

Implementation Details
Send Result SMS :
Send result function will take result name, sms centre, COM port no and departments as parameters. Application Connects to GSM Modem on specified COM port. Communication between application and Modem are implemented using Java Communication API that provides serial communication implementation support with device. One by one several commands are passed to Modem and that prepares device for sending SMS. This process continuous for all the student records that match criteria.
SMS packet containing data part, receiver’s no, smsc centre no, encoding scheme (7 or 8 bit) is sent from PC to Modem using AT Commands. We have made the use of AT Commands in order to use Mobile phone as Modem. SMS related AT Commands, for example AT+CMSC etc are used to Send Result.
SMS Datagram 7-bit Encoding scheme algorithm implemented that is like datagram of any other protocol TCP.
The following example shows how to send the message "hellohello" in the PDU mode from Sony Ericsson 810i.
STEPS:
AT+CMGF=0 //Set PDU mode
AT+CSMS=0 //Check if modem supports SMS commands
AT+CMGS=23 //Send message, 23 octets (excluding the two initial zeros)
>0011000B916407281553F80000AA0AE8329BFD4697D9EC37
There are 23 octets in this message (46 ‘characters’). The first octet ("00") doesn’t count, it is only an indicator of the length of the SMSC information supplied (0).
