Regular Expression (Regexe)

yet another insignificant Programming Notes

Regular Expression 

Regular Expression, or regexe in short, is extremely and amazingly powerful in searching and manipulating text strings. One line of regexe can easily replace several dozen lines of programming codes. Regexe is supported in almost all the scripting languages (such as Perl, Python, PHP, and JavaScript) as well as general purpose programming languages such as Java, and even word processor such as Word for searching texts.

ERP Implementation Cases Reflection

Zhang Danyang
Overview

This reflection will discuss about the lessons learned from both successful and unsuccessful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation cases. The purpose of ERP is to integrate and unify every aspect of the business of an enterprise into one single suite of software system. Many of the ERP implementation cases occurred around late 1990’s, in an attempt to tackle with Y2K problems.  After discussion about the lessons learned from these cases, the reflection will talk about the ERP implementation approaches, and a new approach from Software Engineering is proposed.

The Tipping Point (Malcolm Gladwell) -- Summary of Info on Wikipedia

Hub in Information Dissemination

 

Some of Malcolm Gladwell's analysis as to why the phenomenon of the "tipping point" occurs (particularly in relation to his idea of the "law of the few") and its unpredictable elements^[16] is based on the 1967 small-world experiment by social psychologist Stanley Milgram. Milgram distributed letters to 160 students in Nebraska, with instructions that they be sent to a stockbroker in Boston (not personally known to them) by passing the letters to anyone else that they believed to be socially closer to the target. The study found that it took an average of six links to deliver each letter. Of particular interest to Gladwell was the finding that just three friends of the stockbroker provided the final link for half of the letters that arrived successfully.^[17] This gave rise to Gladwell's theory that certain types of people are key to the dissemination of information.

Outliers (Malcolm Gladwell) -- Summary of Info on Wikipedia

Christopher Langan and J. Robert Oppenheimer, end up with such vastly different fortunes.

All Gladwell's books focus on singularities: singular events in The Tipping Point, singular moments in Blink, and singular people in Outliers. Gladwell was drawn to writing about singular things after he discovered that "they always made the best stories".^[1] Convinced that the most unusual stories had the best chance of reaching the front page of a newspaper, he was "quickly weaned off the notion that [he] should be interested in the mundane".^[1]

Find Prime:

We can use the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic which states:
Any integer greater than 1 is either a prime number, or can be written as a unique product of prime numbers (ignoring the order).

1.  Frequently-used Commands

General Notes: The commands are NOT case-sensitive (because the legacy DOS is not case-sensitive). In general, Windows/DOS Operating System is not case-sensitive, but Unixes are. Most of the programming languages such as C/C++/Java, with origin in Unix, are case-sensitive.

Other frequently-used directory- and file-related commands include:

• del filenames: Deletes files.
• ren current-filename new-filename: Renames a file.
• mkdir directory-name: Creates (or make) a sub-directory under the current working directory.
• rmdir directory-name: Removes or deletes the sub-directory.
• copy filename new-filename: Copies file.
• xcopy|robocopy: Copies (or Robust copies) files and directory trees.

HTML 5 Semantic Element

New Semantic Elements in HTML5

They are <div></div> by themselves

Many of existing web sites today contains HTML code like this: <div id="nav">, <div class="header">, or <div id="footer">, to indicate navigation links, header, and footer.

HTML5 offers new semantic elements to clearly define different parts of a web page:

• <header>
• <nav>
• <section>
• <article>
• <aside>
• <figcaption>
• <figure>
• <footer>

HTTP Response Error Codes

Error Codes

Because the default handlers handle redirects (codes in the 300 range), and codes in the 100-299 range indicate success, you will usually only see error codes in the 400-599 range.
