Do we have online IDE for Progress 4GL? - openedge

I am newbie for progress 4GL language and I would like to know any online IDE for doing exercise program.

As you already answered there's an online snippet tool much like JSFiddle for JavaScript. But for a better experience try the classroom edition that's pretty much the real deal but free of charge. (It does however install as a desktop application the way any Progress IDE would).

ABL dojo (https://abldojo.services.progress.com/) is online IDE for ABL code.

Tools for developing Meteor

I've been watching the screencasts on the site and wondering what editor is being used? It looks like vi or vim (which one is it)? And at the bottom of the terminal says "JavaScript-IDE"? (is this a plugin for vi or vim) Thanks!
From Abigail Watson, Meteor expert:
WebStorm is no longer the Meteor-Cookbook recommended Editor or Development Environment.
We now recommend Atom.io since it's a pure-javascript editor, meaning we can extend the Meteor Isomorphic API to the Editor.
(https://github.com/awatson1978/meteor-cookbook/blob/master/cookbook/webstorm.md)
Our Meteor API for the Atom Editor brings Isomorphic Meetor javascript to the editor with autocomplete, code snippets, color-coded grammar, syntax highlighting, and more! Code faster and with fewer mistakes!

WebStorm
Webstorm 9 has excellent Meteor support.
For Vim/Emacs
Another option would be to use TernJS and VIM/Emacs as explained by Slava Kim at Dev Shop.
A Good Write up about it here
They're using Emacs, but you can use whatever editor/IDE you want. My personal preference is Sublime Text 2.
As far as I know, there aren't any editors that help you write Meteor code. Meteor is all Javascript, so the only thing an IDE could do is provide auto completion to the Meteor namespace and show you some docs. I think the general consensus is that an IDE like that wouldn't be too helpful at this point, since the docs change so frequently while Meteor is in very early stage development.
Happy Meteoring!
Atom.io. Growing well with community support. Have been using it few days and cannot think of anything missed for my use. The extension package system is pretty neat and available packages is growing quickly.
Codelobster has special plug-in for MeteorJS: http://www.codelobster.com/meteorjs.html

TideSDK and native code?

I've just discovered TideSDK and it seems to be a really great tool, but I have one requirement : I need to use some native code (for managing USB devices for example) and so I need communication between this native code and the web app, is such a thing possible with TideSDK?
Yes, working with native code in TideSDK is possible. Our SDK is modular and we have been reorganizing the code structurally to make it easier to do the sort of thing you want. At a modular level, you will be contending with support for multiple platforms typically.
A module should extend to all platforms that you are supporting. We expect to have documentation to help developers (familiar with native code) to better understand the SDK. This should include some module boilerplate to help you get started. At this point, we have yet to prepare this more detailed documentation. We have much to do and sometimes progress seems slow despite all the great efforts going into TideSDK.
TideSDK is a large and complex SDK but don't let this frighten you off. It is extensible and we will be shining light on this soon with module development guides. It would be cool to talk more on IRC about this with you so feel free to drop by at any time. Perhaps the functionality you are speaking of is of general use ie. to extend the APIs for everyone.
There are possibilities to work together with the core developers of TideSDK on modules and to contribute to this great open source project. Other possibilities also include sponsoring module development if this something that you need more immediately for a project. Hope this helps.

VT500 terminal emulation Flex component

Does anybody know of an existing Flex component that does VT500 terminal emulation?
We are gradually replacing terminal-based user interfaces with an AIR-based GUI.
We would like to have a terminal emulator embedded in that new AIR GUI, in order to give our users an integrated user experience when navigating between our old and new software.
Emulation of other VT-series terminals than the VT500 could also be usefull.
Btw, I'm not interested in writing it myself (nor having it written for me) because it would only be a nice-to-have in our software architecture.
Thanks,
Pieter
Isn't the whole point of using Air and upgrading the technology is that you DON'T need to use a terminal anymore? Seems a bit redundant.
I don't think you'll find anyone that has already created the emulator, but it can't be that hard to implement if you really need the functionality. I know I've seen an AJAX implementation of it (anyterm.org) that uses the ROTE library for the virtual emulator. You might want to look into that.

Is there an IDE for CSS with code validation?

What's a good IDE for CSS that makes validation of the code as you type?
Netbeans also has that and is free. And for what its worth there is also dreamweaver but I have no idea how good it is compared to more "serious" ide's.
I would suggest Aptana or Visual Web Developer Express 2010
Aptana is Eclipse-based, cross-platform, needs no installation, just JRE. Pretty neat, I use it. In CSS it even provides code completion for selectors (based on what you have in HTML). If a line is invalid an error sign appears next to it, hover your cursor and read what's wrong.
Visual Web Developer is harder for me because I spent too few hours CSSing in it. From what I've seen it does a pretty decent job, but I still prefer Aptana.
All of the jetbrains IDE products (with the exception of the free CE edition) include a every good CSS editor.
If you use a Mac for any development then I would advise CSS Edit although I expect that is not the case.

What's the best way for me to learn how to use Subversion as a source code control for my Asp.Net Web Projects?
I haven't had much contact with source control before; however I have a very basic understanding of its features, so I'm looking for a way to learn the best practices.
Any tip will be very appreciated.
Once you've setup SVN you'll need to setup your repository structure. A common setup is to have a Branch, Tag, Trunk setup however there are others that may suit your needs.
Once you've setup your server you'll need a client. The most common one is TortoiseSVN. It doesn't integrate with Visual Studio, however it's extremely powerful.
Once you install tortoise, you'll want to setup your exclusion list to make sure you only commit files that are relevant to your project.
Then for a better understanding of how to use source control in general check out Eric Sinks Source Control HOWTO
TortoiseSVN?
Pretty easy to use...
It's integrated into the windows shell so basically it works from Windows Explorer.. I'm not sure if its integrated into VisualStudio 2008, but it's so easy to use anyway that I dont think you'd need it.. :)
EDIT: Plus, it's free.. :) And it's got a bunch of tools like Diff/Merge.. :) Although for that I think WinMerge is better.. But that's beside the point.. :)
I really recommend VisualSVN. It is a great product for integrating Subversion with Visual Studio.
http://www.visualsvn.com/
I would recommend ankhsvn for integrating with visual studio. I works nicely and looks similar to TFS. I also use tortoise svn for windows shell integration. Both complement each other nicely.
Not strictly related to Subversion, but Eric Sink has an excellent source control primer if you need to review the basics. Don't forget that the Subversion book is free, and it's probably the most complete (and yet still quite practical) resource on Subversion.
Like Web and Jerry, I generally like AnkhSvn for Visual Studio integration, and also make use of TortoiseSvn as a complementary tool. (For example, Tortoise's log viewer is still a bit more advanced, so sometimes I'll go in with that.)
That said, I'm not totally sure I would suggest using AnkhSvn for ASP.NET Web Site Projects. (I use it for ASP.NET Web Application Projects, Class Library Projects, and Console Applications.) There are some quirks that you might find frustrating. See this message in particular and this thread in general, from the AnkhSvn mailing list:
http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=582&dsMessageId=132185
You could probably live with the quirks, and maybe the AnkhSvn will eventually eliminate them all, but in my case I chose to move to Web Application Projects (instead of Web Site Projects) partly because they work better with AnkhSvn.
Also, if you do go with AnkhSvn, I suggest running one of the nightly builds, rather than the latest stable release; the nightly builds seem to have many fewer bugs and to be more useful.
I didnt get any answers when i was getting my first svn set-up for php development... so i would like to help you but i dont know any visual studio integration.
I used tortoise(btw is great and is for windows, i could help you im sure) and theres a couple of tutorials on how to set up a small repo in your own pc
Get familiar with source control terms and concepts first. Eric Sink has written a great guide for getting up to speed.
I know someone has already said "AnkhSVN", but I'd like to second that nomination. I use AnkhSVN for my department, and I love it. It integrates completely with VS2008, and gives me almost no trouble.
I also use TortiseSVN for its "Repo Browser" functionality... but I rarely ever have to go into that anymore.
Both are EXCELLENT solutions, and used jointly, should be all you need. And both are free.
