Re: [Ilugc] Fwd: FOSS Lab Manual Part 1
Arun Khan knura9@... writes: A very nice effort vis-a-vis a quick intro to topics. Is this going to be the final content is something more planned? For the latter case, may I suggest that you put in the place holder (heading and sub headings). Also a list of Further Reading (as Reference) would be helpful for the curious to explore. These are just the first four chapters. The manual has been divided into three parts, so that they can be released early to the colleges. Sure a Further Reading section would be useful, we will definitely add them up. I hope the original manuscript is written in Docbook or equivalent (better) tools; can publish in multiple formats like HTML, PDF, RTF etc. The manual is written in AsciiDoc, which is then converted to Docbook.

Re: [Ilugc] marking strings for translation in emacs
Kenneth Gonsalves lawgon@... writes:
hi,
in python to mark strings for translation one does this:
string: somestring
marked string: _(somestring)
and in django templates:
string: somestring
marked string: {% trans somestring %}
can anyone suggest a very quick and easy way of doing this?
Add the following code (simple and not so accurate code) to your ~/.emacs file,
and restart emacs. Open up a Python module, move the cursor to a string and
press C-c t.
--
(defun py-mark-trans ()
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(search-backward \)
(insert _()
(search-forward \)
(search-forward \)
(insert

Re: [Ilugc] Support for unicode in asciidoc
Shrinivasan T tshrinivasan@... writes: It seems that asciidoc is not supporting unicode characters. or it is not working for me. I tried to convert an asciidoc UTF-8 file into HTML using Asciidoc 8.2.7. And it works. I am getting only characters like #xbb5;#xbc7;#xba3;#xbcd;#xb9f;#xbc1;#xbae;#xbcd; in the pdf generated by a2x for the text formatted in asciidoc with tamil content. If we were to take asciidoc-xsltproc-fop route, we will have to embed the Tamil font into the PDF document, and specify for which portions of text it has to be used.

Re: [Ilugc] Request for Volunteers - Preparing LAB Manual for Anna University Syllabus
Shrinivasan T tshrinivasan@... writes: We can choose any topic, create documentations on introduction, create exercises and verify them. Please update here, if you wish to contribute for the LAB Manual. I would like contribute to this. I can provide help in the areas of Python and GUI Programming. I have been doing GNU/Linux training for quite sometime and I think I can provide some useful inputs when it comes to doing a GNU/Linux lab. The syllabus also seems to have some issues, but I think it can been fixed up with a little bit or re-ordering and trimming. A few suggestions for the lab manual: * There seems to be too many languages: Python, Perl, PHP, Gambas ... I would suggest that one language be used through-out the lab exercises, and the others be just touched upon. * One of the problems with labs involving installation of kernel and software packages, is that the students have to be given root access. And there will be lot of maintenance overhead for restoring the system back to a sane state. This can be avoided by installing the packages within a VM. Within the VMs the students get complete root access, and even if things screw up, the VM's harddisk image can be restored from backup. * The better order would probably be: (I have choosen Python as the primary language, here. But other combinations are also imaginable.) - Running Python - GUI Programming (using Python) - Version control systems ... - Virtualisation - Setting up the complete network ... (using a virtual network formed by multiple VMs) - Installing various software pacakges (within VM) - Compiling from source (within VM) - Introduction to package management (within VM) - Writing user space drivers (using Python) - Kernel configuration, compilation and installation (within VM) - Running PHP - Running Perl Regards, Vijay ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] factorial
Saravanan Selvamani saravananselvamani@... writes:
Anyone knows how to find the factorial of a number without
using loops , arithmetic operator,case structure.I guess that this has to be
done by using bitwise operator.but i dont know how.
Use lookup tables. If you are using 32 bit ints to store numbers, you need a
lookup table till 12.
uint32_t factorial_lut[] = {
1,
1,
2,
6,
24,
120,
720,
5040,
40320,
362880,
3628800,
39916800,
479001600,
};
uint32_t factorial(uint32_t n)
{
if (n 13)
return factorial_lut[n];
else
return -1;
}
I could think of one reason why you would ever want to do this is - speed.

Re: [Ilugc] Read Barcode
Rajesh kumar rkrajeshkumar87@... writes: How can i read a barcode using a C program. I can able to read barcode manually in a gedit. i Need to create a c program which reads the barcode device and write the data to a text file. How this can be done. Input devices like keyboard, mice, etc. go through the input subsystem. And the USB barcode reader in this case seems to act like a keyboard, and hence also goes through the input subsystem. Each of these input devices has a device file named /dev/input/eventN. When the device file is read, key events are reported. See http://www.thelinuxdaily.com/2010/05/grab-raw-keyboard-input-from-event-device-node-devinputevent/ for an example. You will have to identify which /dev/input/eventN corresponds to your barcode reader. This can be obtained from sysfs. Alternatively, there are aliases to these device files, that make it more obvious. The aliases are present in /dev/input/by-id/ Regards, Vijay -- P: http://www.bravegnu.org/ C: http://www.zilogic.com/ ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
