C# School Ebook is a 330 page ebook that covers the .NET framework and the C# language. Starting with the basics of the language, it goes on to cover object oriented programming techniques and a wide range of C# languages features including interfaces, exceptions and delegates.

Later chapters cover practical topics including database access with ADO.NET, building Windows forms applications, multi-threading and asynchronous I/O. The final chapter covers new features in C# 2.0, including generics.

SchoolTool project is a common information systems platform for school administration.

SchoolTool is a project to develop a common global school administration infrastructure that is freely available under an Open Source licence.

The vision is to create a platform that is equally compelling for schools and colleges in First and Third World countries, that supports best practices in school administration, and that is readily customized to comply with local regulatory requirements.

It is based primarily on Zope 3, with an HTML interface and a Web service interface in the REST architectural style.

Install step-by-step Instructions

OK, using the aforementioned shell script makes things easier, but there are still a few steps you need to pay attention to.

You need a C development environment (build-essential on Ubuntu) and Python development libraries (python-dev on Ubuntu).

You need the Python Imaging Library (python-imaging on Ubuntu) and the Python libxml2 bindings (python-libxml2 on Ubuntu).

You need a very up to date version of Python setuptools, which will probably require downloading a new version of ez_setup.py and running that script as root.

Now you can download alpha2-install.sh to whatever directory you like to use for testing software and do chmod +x alpha2-install.sh to make it executable and then ./alpha2-install.sh.

Hopefully it will then set up the rest of your environment and give you some final instructions when it is done. You will probably get one error message when it runs the tests. Please ignore it.

Marauder-ah project is a 2d space fighting game.
Marauder-ah is a set of improvements over "marauder", originally written by Shawn Hargreaves in 1994.
You control a spaceship with a basic weapon, and your purpose is to kill as many people as you can.
Earning money (using piracy or trade) enables you to upgrade your ship and buy deadly weapons.
Game Rules:
Many years from now, in a distant corner of the galaxy, blah blah.
Ok. The rules are simple. Earn as much money as you can, and dont get shot.
When you start the game, you will see a little spaceship in the middle of the screen. That is you. Use the left and right arrow keys to turn, and the up arrow to fire your thrusters. Once you start moving it is not easy to stop. You will eventually coast to a halt, but if you are in a hurry you will have to turn round and fire your thrusters in the opposite direction.
If you fly around a bit, you will probably come across a planet or another hip (HINT: you can see all the planets and ships on the radar display at the top right of the screen).
There are two things to remember about planets. One is that if you fly into
them you get hurt. The other is that if you fly up close to one and then
press ENTER, you go to the shipyard.
Enhancements:
- Corrected code to compile with allegro 4.1.15 and gcc 3
- Added rest(0) to game loops to drop CPU
- Added some information to the top left of the screen
- Can repair if less than 10% damage
- Removed most of joystick support-related calls
- Removed play midi calls (BUGFIX !)
- Changed keybindings, defined in keybinds.h
- Increased bullet life (48 > 75)
- Increased treasure life (100->5000)
- Speed variation
- Laser, proton and matter can be used together
- Config file for keybindings using Zlog code
- Removed VC++-related stuff in the makefile, added mingw32
- Added commandline options parsing using Zlog code
- Added quiet option, hardconfig option, gfxmode and askgfx options
- Added mouse support (more comfortable for askgfx)
- Removed midi files from marauder.dat as theyre not used anymore
- Changed proton and matter cannon sprites so that theyre visible when used together
- Added configure script from Zlog (detects, downloads builds and installs allegro 4.1.15)
- Enemies now upgrade their weapons when possible
- Player can sell his stuff (weapons and so)
- Ships are drawn randomly at each different execution of the program (just added a rand() call)
- Changed weapon price

Xyria:DNSd is an high performance DNS server that supports only the most important features and resource records while being extremely fast and secure.
Xyria:DNSd peoject also supports round-robin load balancing.
Main features:
- extemely fast implementation (main target)
- very secure
- ip-address based listen()ing
- supporting IPv6 addresses and resource records
- load ballancing via round robbin
- running under an low-privileged UID & GID
- running under little endian systems: (at least) Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD
- nice configuration syntax/easy to configure
- DNSd able to forward querys
- DNSd can run as caching only-server
Enhancements:
- The database was modified. Now DNSd uses a hashed array of pointers to binary trees including single linked lists for double valued hashes.
- It sorts the zones (by TTL) by itself (the admin doesnt has to care in which order he has to place the zones in the config file).
- Some code cleanup and a small bugfix are also included.

Mediainlinux is a complete Linux distribution targeted at multimedia production, wich consist in a live cd (knoppix derived) containing more than 200 graphical application and thousands of command line tools for:

* Acquisition
* Conversion
* Editing
* Compression
* PostProduction in the Audio, 2D and 3D graphics and Video domain.

Mediainlinux distribution is a working prototype of a Debian Multimedia Distribution, based on the last version (3.4) of the Knoppix Linux Live Cd.

Our CD supports most of the graphic, audio and tv/satellite computer card on the consumer and prosumer market GNU/Linux compatible and has more than 200 graphical applications and hundreds (nearly 1000) of command line tools for covering all the complexity of the multimedia process of production: acquisition, conversion, compression and mastering.

Most of the Multimedia in the GNU/Linux world is covered, but there are some tools which we dont want to distribute together with Mediainlinux for legal reason and mainly because we are not sure about the integrity of the code, which could be stolen or covered by copyrights and so on.

You can install this applications after Mediainlinux is installed on the hard disk, because they will be present in the Synaptic interface (because we added the sources to the sources file).

Technical Goals:

1.Multimedia Kernel (modified to gain more reactivity from the system) and especially in the graphic (drivers for consumer and prosumer video cards) and audio (firmware for professional audio cards) subsystems, applying many patches like the low latency, preemption, real time e capabilities patches and reach a better recognizing of peripherals.

2.Boot splash: cover the Knoppix Live Cd initialization (which is oldish and bad looking, in our opinion) with an animation and some informations about the project.

3.Develop customized multimedia cd and application.

4.OpenMosix enabled kernel to make distributed rendering with Blender and Yafray.

Non technical goals:

1.Include applications which are not already part of the Debian distribution: speed in the free software world creates a situation in which hundreds of projects starts in a year and the ones which survive with an active development the first year and get developed for two or three years have a good chance to continue and be included in the major distributions. Sometimes it needs to anticipate this process and “discover” some applications which are not already shipped with a major distribution, before they become famous and encouraging their diffusion putting them in Mediainlinux. This has a double effect: makes the software better testing it and reporting bugs, suggestions and ideas and making better the whole Mediainlinux itself.

2.Support package maintainer to promote the diffusion of applications that havent already been debianized: programmers that transform the source code of a certain software in a Debian .deb, ready to be installed on a computer with a Debian GNU/Linux distribution (or a Debian compatible one like Mediainlinux) are often volunteers doing this work just as an hobby. For some other software there are already some sponsorships from some facilities and one of the goals of Mediainlinux is to find economic support for this programmers in the multimedia field of application.

3.Organizations: we had contacts with some organizations like ONU and UNESCO and with Italian (Turin, Padova, Bologna, Siena) and international (Bristol, Oslo, Zlin, Tampere, Georgia) universities and with some other organizations in the audio and video fields like FESTPACO or African Women Media Center. In all this places Mediainlinux has been introduced and in some also experimented, still limiting to single tests. With all this entities we would like to set up a collaboration that goes from simple testing and reporting of bugs, to requests for new characteristics and development of additional software.

4.Art Academies: many institutions like MULTIDAMS of Turin, the school of Art and Media of Tampere or the Brera Academy of Art in Milan has a double role: public places for experimentation (and so contamination between technology and art) and possible producers of demonstrations and examples of use, artist and collaborators.

User side goals:

1.Make Mediainlinux a better looking distribution: the look of Mediainlinux is a key aspect of the whole project. The more the distribution will be stylish (from the cd to the manual, from the Internet site to an exhibition stand) in the design and in its graphic and artistic ideas, the more it will gain success between the Linux Artists and the Macintosh community. Then we need to surpass the look of proprietary systems, using all the widgets that can simulate the most stylish looking applets and so we must need graphics to create icons, desktop themes, wallpapers, screen savers and audio video materials (like desktop sounds or video tutorials).

2.Make Mediainlinux simpler: we need to do more integration between different applications, in the way that for a .ogg vorbis file we will have a contextual menu to play, edit, record it etc. etc. This should be done for most of the file formats in the multimedia field and its an operation very intensive of configuring, programming, experimenting and daily use.

3.Make better configuration tools: most of all we need a good configuration of auto mounter to create automatically the icons of peripherals on the desktop.

4.Documentation: we need a manual for the primary applications (mostly done) and its translation in English, French, Spanish and German.

5.Training: we are organizing many courses on subsystems included in Mediainlinux and especially for audio and video streaming, 2D and 3D graphic, musical composition and less common training lessons in multimedia installations and physical and acoustic simulation.

6.Support: make concrete a way to support our users with a mailing list, a forum and a satellite program with tutorials, examples and demonstrations of creativity.
