I know how to create something like http://www.website-name.com/xyz, but I wish to create a link, like http://www.xyz.website-name.com. I have been searching for this for sometime now, and unable to find any answer. Can someone please help, as I am new to web development?
I think you are looking for something called - subdomain. Maybe this would help: Subdomains

I am creating a web app and I'm not sure how should I name the page that the user uses to set its preferences, I called it set-my-preferences but I'm wondering if it should be set-your-preferences.
Is there a naming convention for the urls relative to the user?
Should I use first (my) or second (your) person in the url?
PS: I doubt this question has not been asked already but I googled it and looked for it on stackoverflow and could not find anything
I suggest using set-my-preferences because it involves the user because they are more focused if a thing is about them. From my personal experience this has worked best for me.
There is this site that i have to check every time to see if there is any new available house to rent and i was wondering if it's possible to program a notification for it to not miss my chance. If there is any way to do that please tell me how.
one way is:
You can use python to do that,
you need a Bot (Automation) that will check the availability of the Thing you are looking for, difficulty depends upon the site.
I'm pretty new to this so I'm not sure if this is a simple request or not but here goes:
I am working on a school website and under each program page is a list of course codes. What I'm looking for is when I click on said course code (ex. HEL2106), to have a lightbox-type of popup that displays program info about said course code. What I have is a .dat file that has all the course codes and descriptions in it, so I would like to use some sort of HTML/CSS/JS that will pop this up and display the correct info about the clicked course from the .dat file.
I'm not 100% sure on how to go about this so if anyone has any suggestions at all, that would be really helpful.
If you need any other details from me, let me know.
Thanks,
(File Info* The .dat file is pretty much just a notepad document with each course code & description in sequence)
Just to let you know, you need to search and learn about a lot of things first.
For data access on a website, you need access to a database. If you don't know about SQL (or any other query language), Query, Database, Tables, Server ... then you should start there.
To read those databases, you need to write code (ASP.NET, PHP, etc) that runs on a web server (Apache, IIS, etc).
If you want to create a website, I recommend you start working with WordPress, Joomla or other CMS (Content Management System) for you to familiarize with a lot of things before jumping to the advance stuff.
YouTube is a very good friend and teacher! :) Start by looking some tutorials there. Hope this will guide you to what you need.
I have no idea what your level of experience is based off your question so I will assume you have a basic understanding of HTML,CSS and JS. If not, then I would recommend Exel Gamboa's answer.
It sounds like you're looking for something like http://fancybox.net/
Of course, it is typically used for displaying images but it could be easily modified for your purpose.
Now about your .dat file. When storing data for large websites, it's typically best to use SQL for databases. This allows you to access data and store it in an organized manner.
As a final recommendation I'd take a look at using a CMS for your website. (Wordpress, WolfCMS, perch, etc...)
Hope this helps.
Before anyone has a chance: Yes, i know it's a bad idea. Please, don't give me a lecture on how i should use a web service instead. Thanks.
So, how could this be done?
I found this bit http://www.karlkraft.com/index.php/2010/09/17/mysql-for-iphone-and-osx/ and thought it might do the trick. I got a bunch of ARC error messages, cleaned those out and got this error at runtime:
Detected an attempt to call a symbol in system libraries that is not
present on the iPhone: pthread_cond_init$UNIX2003 called from function
my_thread_init in image oms.
Do i need to use something like ODBC/C?
I know that the solution might be a lengthy one, that's fine. Would be great if someone could at least point me in the right direction.
EDIT:
Since people are keen to know the reason for opting not to use a web service, here it is:
If you're creating an in-house app, the added security of a web service is next to nothing. Working directly with the DB means i need to maintain less code. Plus i don't need to create hacky PHP scripts to get things done.
FINAL CONCLUSION:
I wanted to leave a message for people who're about to do the same thing: Don't :)
Essentially your options are hacky server side scripts or Oracle proprietary mysql client you built yourself (and thus a hacky solution as well). Your choice but i'd strongly advice against it.
This might be the sort of thing that you are looking for:
mysql for iphone and osx
I found it on this iphonedevsdk thread access mysql remote database iphone
Personally I would be only doing this if you really really wanted to.
If you wanted a canned solution, I also found this: Flipper
Or to do it yourself: Build MySql client library for iPhone/iPad
Its not really that hard to find a number of solutions
I needed the same thing (I understand your lecture-pain ;) ) so I wrote this: https://github.com/ciaranj/MySqueakQl it doesn't link to the mysql client libraries so no GPL issues, but it is a very minimal ... very 'fresh' i.e. untested implementation ... just my 2c.
I faced the same problem as you did. I searched and find this.
In http://www.acapela-for-iphone.com/ios-4-2-gm-small-problem-with-simulator
Jean-Michel Reghem Says:
"It seems that Apple changes (again) something into the simulator (as in iOS 4.0)."
Also some people in that page say that this problem didn't show up in device, you can try.
The author has updated his code, and it worked.

I am building a robotlegs app where you have to login in order to use it. When you loggin I have numerous mediators,injectors,models,vos etc. What should I remove when one logs out?
Thanks in advance.
This is tough to answer, since your question is kind of vague. Some more details as to the inner structure would be helpful. Depending on your situation, you may just need to remove any navigation elements that would let the user access content that would require them to be logged in. If your user is represented by a persistent object, you could also use an isLoggedIn flag that you would check when the user tries doing something that requires them to be logged in. Again, this is tough to answer because of the question's vagueness, but I don't think there's anything really specific to RobotLegs you need to do, it's more about application design.
There is a onRemove function in the mediator which works like onRegister, it should remove all the registered events in your mediator. Have a look, it may be what you're looking for.
