Hey, I'm looking to find a good MySQL framework for Cocoa that I can use in my XCode projects to access a database on the web. Do you know of any good, open source/free ones? I have looked at http:// mysql-cocoa.sourceforge .net/index.html but haven't had a chance to play with it. Should I start there or is there something better?
Thanks in advance!
You almost answered your own question! Take a look at MySQL-Cocoa.
I've had a good experience wrapping simple queries in NSOperation objects for easy multi-threading.
Try:

Is this possible now to use Spatial with MySql and Entity Framework? Couldn't find blog nor document nor help about that. Any direction is appreciated.
Not that I know of yet, but seeing how Devart recently released support for Migrations, I'd expect them to follow up with spaital support pretty soon too.
i was searching SO for help on this, but i can't seem to find a concrete solution.
Is, or isn't it possible to connect to a mysql database with Cocoa?
Because i'm working on a program that i'd like to extend to a database, but i sure as hell don't know how!
I mean, that cocoa-mysql package is heavily outdated, and i dont even know what a C wrapper is!
Can someone please tell me how to do this, or atleast burst my bubble to tell me that it can't be done?
Thanks!
Since Core Data came out, I'm not surprised that other DB-wrapping Cocoa libraries are falling out of date. If you don't need to specifically wrap a MySQL DB, then I'd look at Core Data and its SQLite backend. It's available for both Mac OS and iPhone platforms.
I have been working on microsoft based web technologies (.net, sql server, iis) for about an year and would like to know the opensource alternatives for the above. I have heard of LAMP, Java based technologies, ruby on rails etc. Can you please point me to a place where I can find more information about these and how they match up against each other. Basically I am looking for an overview of the popular web technologies in today's world.
Thanks a lot.

Hmmm, thats a bit difficult to do, as each language is unique in its design. I guess it's less a case of which is the best, but more which is the best to suit you. Your decision should rest on which language you feel most comfortable working in, for example like you i started off in asp.net 2.0, developing a few web apps... but made the switch over to php, the two are relatively the same, however i found php to be more accessible for the web based tasks i want it to do. Also i use macs primarily as i am a graphic designer in addition to being a web developer, so if i could develop in mac osx that was a big plus.
Perhaps you should start by outlining what environment you want to work in first, and what you'd want to be doing in it.
Then consider cost, we managed to slash the basic costs of running our sites by moving to php, simply because of the licensing differences.
Support is also a biggy, you'll find with open source stuff there is more around since it's generally a lot more accessible to more people, since theres little to no startup cost.
Finally the best way to find out whats best for you is to try them all! you don't have to be an expert in it to know whether its for you, just get a feel for the language and see if it feels flows better with you.
Hope this is of use to you :)
oh and finally, wikipedia has a little comparison thingy, its not really a great comparison but its better than nothing hey?
EDIT:
Hi Again.
I've done a bit of digging and i think i've found what your looking for!
This is a comparison chart someone made, in it details the pros/cons of php, python, perl, asp, and ruby.
Theres also this which is a comparison of some of the frameworks, they've missed quite a few off the php list, namely kohana which is a brilliant framework!
And finally heres a comparison of the three main server types, and their pros/cons.
I am in a process of integrating several websites/content management tools to try out some of my ideas. Over the past couple of months, I have discovered tons of very helpful stuff, and it's great. I'm setting everything up just fine. To name a few it's: phpwebsite, moodle, livezilla, etc.
The problem is that I am doing everything myself and do lack technical knowledge.
I do have a strong programming background from way back then, which is no longer applicable. However, I seem to be managing do dig up HTML, PHP and JavaScript codes more or less OK, and things move forward pretty well.
Now it came to the need to implement SSO between a few of my systems. I like what I read about CAS, but the more I read the scarier it sounds:). I feel that I lack way too much technical expertise to be able to implement it myself. It looks like that it is not just simple logica installation and configuration as with most of the things I delt in a past two month, but kind overly complicated.
Should I risk it? What problems am I gonna face?
All the discussions I have been able to find so far are way to technical, not user friendly at all.
Please help me to build up some courage:)
Thanks,
Oleg
Looks like you're doing very well, there are many people ready to help you. Take a chance and you will learn a lot in the process.
You can at least remove the burdeon of installing the CAS server by using the cloud provider: http://www.casinthecloud.com (free servers are available for tests). For all the integrated applications, it's still up to you, but it should be in your technology using the right CAS client.
There is demo implementation here,
Hope that helps
