Early AI research emphasized the optimization of search algorithms. This approach made a lot of sense because many AI tasks can be solved by effectively by defining state spaces and using search algorithms to define and explore search trees in this state space. Search programs were frequently made tractable by using heuristics to limit areas of search in these search trees. This use of heuristics converts intractable problems to solvable problems by compromising the quality of solutions; this trade off of less computational complexity for less than optimal solutions has become a standard design pattern for AI programming. We will see in this chapter that we trade off memory for faster computation time and better results; often, by storing extra data we can make search time faster, and make future searches in the same search space even more efficient.

The AJAX hype keeps growing. Buzzwords like Comet or RIA are on everybody’s lips. In the area of enterprise software RCP is already firmly established as a client application platform. Replacing or extending existing Rich-Client-Applications with web front-ends has traditionally required a significant investment. The Rich Ajax Platform (RAP) provides a fast-path bridge between the application development with RCP and the increasingly important Web 2.0 environment

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a more reliable way of transferring your files over the internet as opposed to attaching to emails. FTP is more secure, quicker, and your files are not “coded” or “mimed” as there is no need to rely on your email server. Follow the instructions below to FTP your files to Colortech Graphics and Printing.

You may already know that along with Office 2007, Microsoft introduced a new file format that is not compatible with older versions of Office. If you haven’t upgraded to Office 2007 or are using Mac OSX then you won’t be able to automatically open Word documents that carry the .docx extension or PowerPoint Presentations (.pptx). If you are using an older version of Office in Windows and attempt to open a .docx or .pptx file, you may be prompted with a message to install the Microsoft Compatibly Pack (which you should do) or you could get an error message. On a Mac, a .docx file will show up as a .zip file that you won’t be able to open in Word. This means that an instructor using Office 2003 could have trouble opening a Word 2007 document that a student submits in Blackboard.

This guide will walk you through the setup process and installation steps for eFront version 3.1.3. SiteGround and cPanel were selected as reference, but the procedure is pretty much the same for any hosting provider. The guide assumes you have some experience in using cPanel as well as setting up a domain. For the sake of the examples, we will use the “venakis.org” domain.

This guide should help you build a functioning component, with a complete backend. After reading through this site, you should understand how some of the core classes in Mambo function so that you can employ the best methods for building your own component. A finished, fully installable version of the Daily Message component is available at http://www.jlleblanc.com/comtutor/com_dailymessage.zip. This component tutorial is valid as of Mambo 4.5 1.0.7.
