About two months ago, I found this incredibly great GDB tutorial written by Peter Jay Salzman.
It used to be accessible here, but I think the site has gone down for a couple of months now.
I found it on archive.org, and wanted to mirror it. I tried Wget and HTTrack to no avail; they both errored out. Googling didn't reveal much either.
Is there a mirror of this site?

Looks like Peter's GDB tutorial is now available on Peter Jay Salzman's website. Not sure why it was down when this question was posed in December '09.

You can find a modestly updated version of Peter's excellent tutorial, Using The GNU GDB Debugger here. It is based on the latest archive of his site, from archive.org, but it is considerably more reliable (the internet archive often seems to not want to load pages).

I hope this is what you are looking for:

CAUTION: above mirror not complete. The mirror seems to be quite old as chapter 6,7,8 seem to be missing.

wget worked fine for me.

I'm very new in building web application using ember.js. I went through the ember.js official guide and found ember.js is very much interesting. I have learned the basic structure of ember.js. But I need a tutorial which will help me to go through building a complete web application using ember.js describing different part of its development process. That may be in document or video tutorial. Please help me to find out the best tutorial to learn ember.js.
You can find a lot of material on EmberWatch, I'd suggest starting with the one which considered to be the official guide by Tom Dale.
I think we are yet to discover complete Ember.js tutorial, nevertheless you can use these resources to help get you started.
I would definitely start with Official Guide
If you do not want to use Ember Data which is still in early stages you can read this blog
A lot of useful information have been presented on EmberCamp 2013

django 1.2 tutorials, books and resources? [closed]

Where can I find learning resources for django 1.2? I'm new to django and web-programming.
I have started to learn django a couple of months ago so, I'll try to point out what helped me.
I started watching the series of screencasts on how to build a wiki
http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/video?name=1100000
which is pretty easy. If you like watching screencasts they're not bad.
The official tutorial as pointed out before is also good.
I then progressed reading the online book on django. While it is certainly a good reference, I wouldn't recommend it as a starting point though.
I think a better thing to do is to read the practical django projects book by James Benett, the django release manager. It shows you a bunch of best practices which you might overlook (I did) otherwise. It uses django 1.1 but I think most of the code works (sometimes critized in reviews on amazon).
One thing that escaped me for a while is the wealth of third-party django apps which really make your life a lot easier but are not official so they are usually not in official supporting documentation (all of the above).
I recommend you start using
South (for database changes)
immediately. Also consider start using
virtualenv and
pip (both for python package management)
right away. These facilitate package-management a lot and I think using these is considered best practices (I just had to clean up a easy_install-foobar'ed system and it's no fun). If you are interested in the best third-party apps for solving common problems in django check out the blog surfing in Kansas by django developer Eric Holscher. There is also a video from the recent djangocon.
Finally, if you are like me and wondering about the magic that django does, you might want to check out this blog post or this video (3hrs) (and slides) by James Bennett explaining the internals of django very well (I like the blog post better, but take your pick).
Also: I was unaware of the django-users mailing list, this is very helpful and - as far as django is concerned - much more active than stackoverflow.
Django is awesome! I really hope you like it ;)
What about the official tutorial?
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/intro/tutorial01/
The online documentation is pretty good. And there's a tutorial for beginners.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/
This resource http://www.udemy.com/full-django-tutorial/ at Udemy can be good starting point.
There's also the djangobook covering the 1.x.x versions. http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/ That can be a good start.

Ok here it goes, hope this is an original idea. Scenario is this. I have hosted a personal website, which contains a wordpress blog as well. I have a windows mobile connected to internet via GPRS.
I want to write an application for my windows mobile, which would track my current GPS coordinates (I don't have GPS but have figured out a way to find out the coordinates), and upload them to my site, where I'd provide a web service which can get or set GPS coordinates. Then I want to display my current location in my blog (as a wordpress plugin) or in another page, where it talks with my web service again to obtain my latest GPS coordinates.
So am I reinventing the wheel or there's a complete solution available for me to achieve such a thing?
Any pointers please. It's not directly programming related, but it sure involves programming!!!
Sounds like Google Latitude.
There are quite few of these types of applications/systems.
I myself have written a similar system to try to recover my phone if it gets stolen.
On codeplex you can find This (not mine).

Where can I find a Qt tutorial in PDF format. I have looked all over google but can't find one. I need to be able to read it offline as I can't always be on the internet. Thanks!
If you're looking for a tutorial or a book, rather than QT docs have a look at this free ebook :
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4
The author has released the first edition with an open license. If you like it You can still buy the printed second edition in amazon.
There is no PDF directly from trolltech that I know of, but all of the docs are under
Qt\200x.xx\qt\doc\html
where 200x.xx represents the version of the Qt SDK. Mine is 2009.01 for example.
You could use one of many HTML to PDF converters to achieve what you're looking for.
You can actually use an html to pdf converter created with QT... http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
am i too late?
you can also use an html spider that downloads an entire website.
The second edition is also freely available (but only in HTML format):
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, second edition. Click the Sample Content tab to access them. The chapters are all there (but in the wrong order---however, the table of contents is listed at the bottom of the page so you can see the correct order). All the examples are available from the Downloads tab.
A more advanced book is also available (but it is not free): Advanced Qt Programming

We # medicware.com.br are thinking about making our web application offline-capable with Gears. Our main goal is to keep basic functionality running when the internet connection goes down.
So, I'd like to hear success stories, tips and resources about yours real experiences in that field (related to Gears or not).
Remember the Milk has done a nice job of using Gears -- you might see what you can find out about their implementation. I'd start at http://code.google.com/apis/gears/articles/take_app_offline.html.
Do you have to use Gears? I've used their AdWords API extensively, as well as Google Data, and the experiences left me lacking. Sure, things are reasonably well documented, but when it comes to support, there's no one you can call and real Google developer postings in forums are rare. They also are known for announcing cataclysmic changes with little notices, and, this is on paid products like AdWords.
I'd seriously look at Adobe Air. Adobe has worked with 3rd parties for years and they're pouring tons of money into doing Air right.
I've had good experiences with Adobe Air. It's not gears and it was nothing more than a look to see how it worked, but it was so simple that i'd think it would be easy to port any large scale application over.
There is a couple of video resources available:
Dion Almaers 50 minute presentation goes from overview/businesscase down into the actual code: quite helpful for understanding concepts and getting examples for actual implementation code.
Offline web apps with Google Gears
I recently saw "Google I/O 2008 - Taking Large-Scale Applications Offline". Good for grasping the concept but also very complex -- Googles problems are most likely not typical scaling problems. And there was no concrete code. Only some architectural strategies.
Also, if you need code examples, try "offline dojo" as well. Even though it's a screencast of Dojos offline wrapper, I think it's pretty helpful (and only 8 minutes short)
Dojo offline screencast, (overview on dojo offline homepage)
In my eager to answer your question, I just stumbled upon Google I/O 2009 - HTML5 Databases/Gears & Offline Web Apps, which i will see during lunch. Feedback on this yet, anyone?
