I thought I'd probaby need a cp3120 page sooner or later, since you people always delete your important e-mail.
Click here for the old cp3110 help page.

• http://www.theonion.com/ << bookmark it.
• I e-mailed ass1 results, but not everybody got them - may have been e-mail filter thing. Here is a copy of ass 1 result instead.
• Here are tut solutions up to week 8. Forgot who asked for them, but it's a good idea. I forgot to hand solutions out at the end of our last tute
• Assignment 1 is over... worry about assignment 2 now. Learning to write code using patterns will be crucial to get good marks.
• Lets forget about the whole "subject search" thing for now. There is no book info on LDAP, but Ross from the bookshop did give me this book list csv file you MAY like to extract dummy data from.
• You don't need to worry about e-mailing code either. But if your interested, Nigel from townsville say's this email code should work. Haven't tried it myself. Just don't write any spam programs okay.
• You have been send a username and password (seperate from your MySQL username & password) for MANNING. You can WinSCP - eg: hostname=manning.cs.jcu.edu.au, u=3120_g25, p=iL05fxzpI, SCP, which is nice.
• With new images, it is always safest to log in as cisco.

More Stuff: (recent)

• Installing/registering Visual Paradigm for UML:
  • First go through installation (login as cisco perferably).
  • Before importing key successful you may have to authenticate through jcu firewall:
    • CRITICAL STEP: Open Internet Explorer & go to http://authenticate.jcu.edu.au/.
  • Now you can click "import key button" - find the reg file (@ C:/java/ hopefully). Click close, and it should verify the file with their web server successfully.
• BERT (my cp3120 project), adapted for Tomcat 5 - works under Tomcat 5, but I think you too look at it to learn GRASP & GOF patterns.
• Latest installation instructions - They were part of the CD, but here is a downloadable copy. Joy!
• For forgetful bunnies, to start mysql:
  • >> Log into manning as yourself, then type:
    • mysql -p -h manning.cs.jcu.edu.au -u cp3120c25
      aytdSAu81
      show databases;
      use cp3120c25db;
  • >> The following commands may also be useful:
    • create table test (
      empID varchar(20) not null,
      email varchar(50),
      primary key (empID)
      );
      
      show tables;
      select * from test;
      exit;
  • better yet, if you're at uni try MySQL Front
• Simple LDAP example - thanks to Ryan Beales from last year.

Other's CP3120 Stuff:

• http://www.it.jcu.edu.au/Subjects/cp3120/2004-2/ - Main cp3110 site.
• MySQL Front 2.5 - Nice free piece of software (worth downloading). It provides a MS-Access like front end to access your MySQL database.... (although I'm pretty sure it can only connect to manning if on a uni machine). Thanks Shaun.
• Petar found a great site: (XAMPP apache friends) which makes it easy to install Apache web server, MySQL, PHP and Perl (which is otherwise quite tricky). Haven't tried, but sounds like good idea.
