OT: Educational Frameworks

2009-08-19 Thread Sivakatirswami
We are trying to look into educational frameworks to check on possible 
models for building our own system on the web. 

We have a professor who gave us access to her moodle site, but it's gear 
to first year university math courses.


We need to see models in use for K-12, where the interface is actually 
"usable" by the children themselves, if such a think exists.


But, in all our searches, we are blocked at every turn. There appears to 
be nothing "open"  you either have to be an instructor or a registered 
student with an enrollment ID to get in. This makes perfect sense from a 
security point of view, but it leaves anyone searching for such things 
completely shut out. We see hundreds of moodle sites and companies that 
support moodle users. But not a single "portal" that we can get into to 
look around for K-12 ideas.


If you know of any teachers/sites that might allow us to view the frame 
work (courses for kids, the syllabus, the modules in use, etc.) we would 
really appreciate it.


Please contact me off line with any access info/ideas you may have.

Thanks
Sivakatirswami

Re: Syllabic division of words

2009-08-19 Thread Mark Swindell
The rules of syllabication are more complex than one would think.   
Root words, prefixes, suffixes and quite a few other little things  
factor in.  The page Richard cited is good.


di-sas-trous, but re-string

cu-ri-ous

yel-low, but well-be-ing

I wonder if the thing to do would be to buy or acquire a software  
dictionary and  somehow strip out the keywords and their corresponding  
syllabication, and place them into a new table of one's own.

setRegistry Dword -hex value?

2009-08-19 Thread runrev260805
Hi,

i need to create a key in the registry and enter a hex value.

I tried it now in several ways, but always without success.

I use the following commands, which do not work. The value of Port 0 after that 
is 32463731 (hex) or 843462449 (decimal).


put "17f2" into tHex

put "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DameWare Development\NT Utilities\DNTU\DWRCC 
Settings\Connect To Client\Port 0" into tKey 

get setregistry(tKey2,tHex,"dword")
put it


Tried also 0x17f2. But then i got "invalid dword-value (32-bit))"  in the 
value field of Port 0.

Trying to put the decimal value 6130 into Port 0, shows a deciaml value of 
808661302 in Port 0.

In all case it reports True.

What am i doing wrong?

Regards,

Matthias

Re: Putting Stuff Before the Message Box

2009-08-19 Thread Jim Ault

Just chiming in at the end of the thread.

In the PHP environment on a web server there is a special memory area  
called "output buffer"


This has various maintenance functions built in to the PHP system,  
such as

  ob_start();ob_flush();  ob_implicit();  ob_clean();

and these facilitate building the characters that get sent back to a  
browser, etc.
It is not a good idea to treat this as the normal PHP variable, such  
as $myDataString.


The message box stack is also a special area that began its life in  
Hypercard 1.0

Back then it was unchangeable.
Now that you can dive into the Rev library stack and modify scripts,  
please use caution because there are globals and settings that are  
interconnected between libraries.  You might find strange behaviors  
that cannot easily be traced.


It is cool that we can get under the hood and make such changes.
My preference is not to do this since Rev is how I make my living.

There's a workaround for now. You can add your own parameters to the

of this stack" as one of the array elements. So you could create a 
parameter called "path" and put the URL to the revlet in there, then 
read that back in your revlet stack.


It does require customizing the html for every server though.



I shouldn't have said javascript; the parameter goes into the "embed" 
block, which isn't javascript. Sorry. There is also an unused parameter 
there already, called "requestedname", which could be used. I just 
tested it and it works.

That's because most common words in English are native English words  
with Germanic roots.  Short, to the point, guts v. intestines.  Most  
specialized vocabulary comes from Greek or Latin roots (French, etc.)


I think I recall reading somewhere that only 15% of English words are  
of English origen, but 90% of spoken English consists of that original  
15%.  Robert Claiborne  wrote a wonderful book called Our Marvelous  
Native Tongue.  An excellent read.  That statistic might come from  
there (I can't vouch whether the percentages are exact, but you get  
the point).

The URL to the revlet is where you put it.  It would be nice to have a 
way to obtain this within the revlet programatically, and I'm sure 
that'll be added at some point if it's not there already, but in the 
meantime you have complete control over the URL since it's determined by 
where you put your revlet.


To generalize a solution that would require only minimal modification 
when such a function is later added to the engine, you could put the URL 
of your revlet into a custom property of the revlet stack, and access it 
with a function:


function RevletURL
  return the uRevletURL of this stack
end RevletURL

Using a fuction to access that means that if/when we get a way to obtain 
that URL programatically down the road, you only need to change that one 
function and all your scripts that use it will just keep working.

My problem is te same, and as I a not among the happy few who use 
Enterprise, I cannot yet test but I wonder wether the url of the app on 
the net can be found from inside the revlet.
I tried to find the url on mac with Safari, and I suppose all browsers 
store the files they download according to the same rules.


The file stored by the  browser contains the url whic it has been 
downloaded from.  With this URL it should be possible to find the nime 
of the folder containing the file and then build the urls of the 
"resources".


The first line of the files can be read from the message box with this 
little handler :


 answer file "choose a file"
  put it into tfile
  open file tfile for binary read
  read from file tfile at 1 until cr
  answer it
  close file tfile


From the files I looked at, it seems that :


--> When the ascii code of char 14  is 94 (decimal) then " Full Page 
TextName" appears among the 34  first characters, and the ascii code of 
the thirty fith character gives the length of the url. The url begins at 
the thirty-sixth character.


--> When  the ascii code of char 14 is  95 (decimal)  then the ascii 
code of the fifteenth  character gives the length of the url and the url 
begins at the sixteenth character.



This does not allow to write a neat and handsome handler, and it is 
surely too simple.  I don't know what happens if the url is very long.  
Any help will be appreciated.
Do anyone know exactly how the header of the file is built , especially 
when it is a revlet ?
Can I hope to fetch my own "resources" on the server when I will put on 
it my app and its quicktime movies ?

Re: You cannot put stuff before the Message Box

2009-08-19 Thread Mark Schonewille

Craig,

on mouseUp
 repeat with x = 1 to 10
  put x & cr & msg
 end repeat
end mouseUp

Btw I have always considered the results in the message box as  
something uneditable and have no problems with that.

Trying to do so selects all the text in the "message" field, even if

Some people

find this counterintuitive. I'll bet you do too.

It can be unwritten; see my last two posts.

I recommend this series of three books. Choose your starting position
based on your current knowledge.

If you don't know any C programming: Learn C on the Mac

If you know some C, but no Objective-C: Learn Objective-C on the Mac

Then for the iPhone: Beginning iPhone 3 Development


I worked backwards, starting with the iPhone book, then realising that
while I could follow the examples, I didn't understand it all.
I had learnt C a long time ago, so the "Learn C on the Mac" book was a
good refresher. Don't worry too much about the chapters 9, 10 & 11 as
they are largely superseded by Objective-C. The Objective-C book was
extremely helpful and then I was able to go back to the iPhone book
and really get it.

Note: the iPhone book has just been updated for iPhone OS 3.

Hope this is useful.

Cheers,
Sarah

As regards who can program for the iPhone, I can recommend a couple of
books for anyone interested in learning. While it is still C,
Objective-C is about as nice as C can get and once you get used to how
things are done, it isn't that difficult. Apple has lot of example
projects too.

Cheers,
Sarah
