I'm about to enter the world of programming. I know a little bit, but practically nothing, but I'm usually a quick learner when it comes to tech-related stuff.
My brother came up with an idea that I thought I would like to help him with, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is.
In order for you to better understand the functionality of the programme/website, here is a little backstory:
My brother spends a lot of time making sourdough for his burger business and optimising his baking all the time.
The way he is keeping track of everything is through an Excel spreadsheet, where amounts of flower, which kinds of flower, cost etc. goes into the spreadsheet.
This is fine if it's only for one type of bread, but he bakes several types of bread.
So, what would the best way to go about building a website for this application be?
I'm thinking that this could be applicable to more than just sourdough, but for simplistic reasons, let just start with that.
The visitor should be able to create a user and that user should be able to store their own recipes, log their changes for future reference and rate the different recipes.
So, on the top of my head, I'm thinking MySql for database, HTML/CSS for styling and Python for functionality?
Can Python and HTML be integrated?
Let me know what you guys think! All help is deeply appreciated!
If you are interested into websites javascript and node js is the most popular choice for server development. Python is mostly used for Neural Networking not for server sided development. Do some more research on what is the best to start with. I started with lua for my first language making dedicated servers on roblox,rust, GTA fivem and ect. What ever entertains you the most with programming is where you should start.

I'm looking for a open source project for dictionary for a language (probably you never heard of it) which has not been "digitized". The dictionary will be from one language to several others, and several others to THE language. Since the language has not been "digitized", I need following features along with searching a word:
1 - Add your own translation to existing words/phrases
2 - Add a new word/phrase and add translation
3 - Request a word/phrase to be translated
4 - Rate (like/dislike or rate within the range) the translation (depending on the rating "correctness" get points")
5 - Possibly relate words (especially nouns) with pictures
6 - Easier to implement mobile version of it
I guess it's more "collaboration site", than dictionary. So the project I'm looking for may not be called as "Dictionary".
I know it's possible to design and write from the scratch, but would be good to begin with something in hand, especially if you are just spending your time/effort for non-profit stuff.
I'm looking around for the project, but didn't find something useful. At the same time designing the architecture in my mind.
If you could share some open source projects, it would be really great.
Thanks.
I am unsure what exactly you need, but would Wiktionary be of any help? There are a lot of localized variations to support different languages and there will probably be a way to ask them to support your language of interest, if it is not already there.

I used to be a frequent player on hubdub.com, where you could 'predict' (or bet on) the news. Hubdub sadly closed in April, but I've been considering something on a much smaller scale for a different domain.
My question is - are there any working prediction software clone tools out there that you can easily configure, setup for many users, many topics and scales well? Like pligg is to digg.com, I'm after prediction market software.
I've looked at Zocalo, but it's a bit too academic. Bookmaker has too many bugs open and hasn't been developed in years, and Prediction Market and Betting System are still in their infancy and don't have working websites successfully based on their software as an example.
Any suggestions welcomed, if I have to code the whole thing up myself fine, but I'd hate to be reinventing the wheel...
There is a module for drupal, but the development seems to have stalled. Anyway, from what I have been looking at, there are no viable off-the-shelf open source prediction market products.
There are several Drupal based solutions, but I believe they are all in various states of disrepair. I wrote a post about them a while ago and it's still pretty accurate. Certainly one or more of them could be a basis for great work.
There is also Zocalo which has been going relatively strong since 2005. Zocalo is, however, a Java based application which, in my opinion, makes it inaccessible to most people who "just want to setup a site."
http://ideafutures.sourceforge.net/
Relatively old and not active, but the code is there (PERL)
Runs http://ideosphere.com/ (probably the oldest prediction market on the Web)

We develop scientific software and I manage a small group of applied scientists who write great code. A lot of our products depend on stable development tools which we've been using for developing a stable code base. Now the issue is, someone from the management visited an open source conference and was too pleased to see a lot of great tools which can be used internally for free in place of the commercial ones we've been using so far. So he suggested to the management to remove costs of buying the tools we've using and shift to the open source ones. Now I do not have anything against the open source movement but through a small experiment I found that my team is spending a lot more time debugging and maintaining stable code bases for those open source tools .
I'm sure a lot of other program manager's have had this problem so far. Would people relate their experiences and let me know of any studies made on this subject ? i want to present a cost benefit analysis to the management by giving some statistical facts not just empirical evidence. I'll be glad to know some case studies thereof.
I think open source is terrific, but I use a commercial IDE (IntelliJ) for Java development, even though there are popular open source alternates Eclipse and NetBeans. In my experience, IntelliJ is the best IDE, hands down, with a measurable impact on my productivity.
I can't say that it's true of all tools, but in this case it is.
I don't believe that either open source or commercial tools can claim the high ground here, because I can cite good and bad examples on both sides. Blanket statements and "me, too" thinking are usually a bad idea.
Statistics will be hard to come by. 86% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
I would expect managers in a company whose products are based on science to be more rational. You're a small firm - talk it through. If it's not possible in your situation, then no one has a chance.

I'm in the process of setting up a new website which would greatly benefit from having user-forums.
Since I already have user accounts, and profile details, stored away it seems that I'd benefit from choosing an open-source forum package which I could modify so that logins were tested against my existing database.
Right now all my site is Perl-based, and looking around I don't see many great Perl forums - the only obvious one I could find which is featureful is yabb - but that is written to authenticate against flat files and to be frank the code is nasty.
If I need to use a PHP solution then so be it, but first are there any simple forums that are written in perl that you'd suggest? I'd expect to have different forum-groups and nominate particular users as moderators. More than that I don't need, just basic threading and an attractive appearance.
Really simple forums are often really insecure forums. If you're determined to use perl, a major web forum doesn't come to mind, and if your competent in security I'd say roll your own. You could even release it to the open source community to help people like you. I know there are several great PHP ones out there that aren't so insecure an rather well developed.
I seem to remember that Drupal had a reasonable fit as a module.

Anybody found yet a good web site architecture using linq to sql? Any help will be very helpful!
We just finished up an internal IT project banking heavily on Linq2Sql and it paid off. I was a bit skeptical at first, but I think it worked out great in the end. Just remember, the fundamentals don't change.
try to stay as stateless as possible
keep clean lines between your services and data access
don't fight linq, use it. If it isn't helping you, you are probably doing something wrong
Our implementation ended up being a hybrid of the Andrew Siemer and Beth Massi approach (a bit heavier on the Andrew side) and in C#
What, apart from StackOverflow? ;-)
Remember Linq is a technology that sits atop the typical data access structures. Therefore all rules that have applied thus far still hold. Just because you can get to data a little easier in the client app doesnt mean you throw out the architecture best practices for data access.
Rob Conery's MVC Storefront
As others have said, linq-to-sql is no different to any other ORM so the architecture is the same as you would use for NHibernate and others.
