I'm looking into building an application for a car dealership. The biggest challenge I see is building the database to capture the necessary information about vehicles (year, make, model -- fairly easy, but I know the details go way beyond that). The information will probably be used to showcase the dealership's inventory on their website (so, users are probably going to want to be able to search based on various parameters, etc.).
Any suggestions on what I can do for version 1 of this database? Any samples out there that I can use? Thanks.
You should look at http://www.databaseanswers.org/data_models/ , there is a bunch of db models which you can compare.
I would definitely recommend creating your database on paper first. While it is in diagram form, it can be refactored and redesigned without any time loss, and can be used to explain the inner workings of your database in a much more clearer way - if not to others, to yourself.
The best way in doing this is with a standardised procedure called UML. Check out http://sourcemaking.com/uml/introduction as it has a lot of information on getting started with UML and software development best practices.

1st create a new sample direct3d porject with c++, PhoneDirect3DApp.
2nd change "WMAppManifest.xml" file's "Genre" from "Apps.normal" to "Apps.games".
3rd call VS Debug and exit apps by back.
and then,
it does not appear in GameHub neither in app list. so I even can't launch the app again.
what's wrong i made?
It would seem you've done nothing wrong - this appears to be is a either by-design or a bug in the platform for native (i.e. not .NET/XAML) non-XBOX live titles such as you are describing.
See this thread on the Microsoft social forum about this topic.
Beware that in addition that this has been known to cause Store certification failures.
Store discussions however are off-topic for Stack Overflow, so I won't go in detail about what, when and how you might fix problems beyond referring you to the Microsoft forum (which may or may not be current at this time).

Just wanted to check something with you regarding Mercurial and BitBucket, since I'm not sure if it's something on my side or has something changed in their web interface (I almost never look at it - just remember the URL's and that's it).
I recently created a new account on BitBucket, and a new repo (well, several of them, but let's go with now for this example). It gave me a link in the form of
https://..../myusername/name_of_repo
then I went to my local repo and did
hg push https://... (same thing as above)
Now when I go to https://bitbucket.org/myusername I can see all my repositories on the right side, and recent history activity, but when I click on the big Repositories button on the top, it says Repositories not found. It's kinda annoying because I don't feel writing down the bitbucket URL/myusername every time I wish to check my repos.
So, I'm interested - is that an error on my side (me doing something wrong) or ... ?
This could probably be thought of offtopic here as it doesn't deal with software in general, but it is so programming related that I really don't think it belongs on webapps. Besides programmers are the only ones who will know what I'm talking about here.
Well, seems like the issue was caused by some sort of cache ;-)

I knew what this module is for, I just don't know why they choose this name - shutil. It is hard to remember this kind of "random" name if I don't know where it come from. Please give me some hints, thanks.
It means "shell utilities", sh standing for shell, util standing for utilities.
If you think about what shutil does, that makes sense (manipulate the filesystem, make archives, etc.).

Kind of a programming question...
You create a sign up form and their address is taken from a list of countries and cities. Is there somewhere on the interwebs I can grab these lists from to stick in my listboxes?
Try this list. Link was updated to the new location.
https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:pub:PUB500001:en
if u use asp
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/CountryCombo.asp
This one only has countries
Country list can be grabbed from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states
But list of all cities of all countries, I think even if you can get that, it would be a bad options. Just let the user enter the city. Though you can have states of some big countries where your visitors are mainly from.
You could take a look at either of these two for geographic data webservices. I would suggest letting the user input their location and then looking it up via these services, or you can download the data from geonames
(The GeoNames geographical database covers all countries and contains over eight million placenames that are available for download free of charge.)

Error: Database table users for model User was not found.
I'm expriencing the error show above and I'm unsure why this is happening. I've searched for a possible solution to this problem and the most prevalent solution is... going to the app/tmp/cache directory and removing the files in the model and persistent folders. I've done that and I'm still seeing this error message. I presume the database is connected properly because I'm not seeing any connection errors and when I use the wrong login credentials, I see connection error messages. I also have a users table so the table does exist in the database. Could it be my permissions? If so how do change them as I'm using Bluehost for my hosting. Please help me with this problem.
Click MySql Database Wizard in Bluehost to grant users permission duh!!
