Want to team up to create software for residual income? (Shareware for licensing).

If the answer is yes to all (but perhaps the first question) then this might interest you. I am looking for one individual with whom to collaborate on a project for deferred sustained income. The project will be of benefit to all programmers, yet the ox is not muzzled. For more info please visit this (unlisted) page:

http://InspiredCode.net/perl.htm

You can reach me on the address given on that page.

Once I have found the right person the page and the address will evaporate before the spambots hit me too heavy.

Thank you.

Blessings,
Robison

I dream in Python .

What is your project?

Yes, I can be intelligent at times!!

In fact, I just got off the phone from my web hosting provider and the service agent was very helpful. Apparently, this is the situation according to them:

Perl is much more commonly used than Python. That also may or may not mean that it is much more commonly supported as well; but at the least it means that it is more tested on each server. PHP is great with MySQL and very common but requires a Linux server. That means that we wouldn't be able to license the robot to those who have Windows server accounts. Therefore, the lowest common denominator seems to be Perl.

My own web host uses DBI-1.50 to access MySQL from Perl. But I think that the code should automatically self configure to use whatever is available, whether a version of DBI or even the older mSQL or mySQL interfaces to get at the MySQL. Hopefully the software will be written such that when it first runs it goes off to "play the guitar and find itself", then writes an ini file that will determine all of its operation on that server from then on.

The Python might be better, but I am most concerned about our being able to provide the needed action for everyone.

for example: I used to have a site on Catalog.com and they supported PHP on their windows server hosting plans.

You might want to research if the majority of Windows Servers are set up for PHP support if you don't find a perl developer that suits your needs.

Anyway, I don't know perl or enough PHP to be of any use but good luck!!

Actually (not trying to get into a flame war here or anything ) PHP and MySQL do not require Linux servers! (Here I am thinking they did too!)

But, yes, you have a point. In your case it's easier to use Perl.

Very interesting robot idea you have. Hope you get a programmer!

According to him, although many Windows 2003 servers do and the dot net servers will, older BSD servers don't support PHP and Win2000 servers most often are not set up to support PHP. Was he wrong about that?
That means that a good 30 percent of the market would not be able to use the robot if the web end were in PHP.

But if I don't get any Perl wiz calling me then I would be happy with the 70 percent market for the PHP version, especially since those who use the tobot could always migrate to a more friendly server for less money than they are paying now in most cases. Therefore as it would turn out, 70 to 85 percent of something is far better than 100 percent of nothing.

So to make a long story short, I am also interested in any interest on the PHP end. After a suitable time I will make a decision based upon what and who is available.

Anybody interested on the PHP end?

Perl vs. Python! :-p

Don't get me wrong Perl has it's uses, but Python seems to fit my needs perfectly.

Apache, PHP, MySQL can all be run off of a Windows Server. But they would never match my freshly compiled, nicely configured, streamlined Apache, PHP, MySQL setup on my box
When installing a server at home, I usually do a fresh install of Slackware with the 2.4.32 kernel. Then remove Apache, MySQL and PHP and compile them again from source (always check the configuration options!).

Meh best not diverse from the topic...

Well, you got me interested, lemme think it over and reread your page a few times.

Python or even C# might be a solution here as well. Also, you might look into SOAP as your method of communication. This might facilitate firewalls and setup and I think most languages provided libs for its support.

I saw on source forge two things that caught my eye.
One of them was py2perl and the other vb2py.
I thought I might start with vb and use vb2py to convert it to python,
then after testing and debugging it in python, use py2perl to convert
it to perl.

At the moment I have been focusing on a build of my display software that such a robot sells. I will be presenting a first fruits beta of that to my home church this sunday.

Then comes the push to do the robot, along with the push to wrap up my display software into the official public release download.

Although I was almost resigned to the idea of having to do the robot all myself, I would love to team up with someone to get there faster.

I have some concepts though for how the robot will want to go, but they are in the form of general ideas and pseudocode, rather than VB.

I would like to discuss what needs to happen in the robot, then have each of us build our repective parts, yours in perl and mine as an activeX.

That way we can accomplish the unique things (such as my collect and response protocol) while in other things we would use some preexisting methods rather than reinventing the wheel, such as, for instance, shopping cart password rescuing and other standard things of the like.

You can reach me at perl@inspiredcode.net and I can write to you from my own more stable email.
