FLEX PLM with integration of Windchill - apache-flex

Do any one know what is FLEX PLM with integration of Windchill..
I need to learn it quickly becuase this will be implementing in one of our project.What is the programming language used in this? i have zero knowledge about this.
Thanks in advance!!!!!

FlexPLM is a Product Lifecycle Management solution from PTC that addresses the need of the footwear and apparel industry. This solution is build on Windchill, which is a j2ee application . For more information on FlexPLM, see PTC University Learning Exchange
Hope this helps,
Ricardo.

There is no support for direct integration of CAD software in a manner similar to Creo/Windchill integration or FlexPLM AI integration
Supports associated/reference document for library objects
Supports CAD data into Product Specification
Both are PLM Products you can Integrate ALM with PLM.
Eg. ALM Integrity Lifecycle Manager with PTC Windchill

Need suggestion regarding SCORM compliant leaning solutions

We are building an m-learning solution[IOS and Android compatible] at our company. The product needs to be SCORM compliant. I would like to know whether it should be developed in-house by the developers or other paid options should be pursued? What are other ways of making our product SCORM compliant? We are not rally positive about using SCORM Engine for this due to its high cost solution to our problem here.Any suggestion/help is appreciated.
You can include SCORM within content using a number of open source options available on GitHub.
Getting SCORM in the content (free) is step 1.
Packaging, bundling and deploying is really step 2.
This typically has a close relationship to how Curriculum defines a structure of lessons, modules, units etc. Not knowing exactly how they want to organize this, I can speculate that you may just have a simple "I want to know that the student viewed the content" approach. If you get into a more rich dependency on how the student performs dictating what they see or do next, that requires a much for up front design so you can bridge the design, development, and deployment of your content.
Including SCORM Support in content -
Like mentioned if you search google for my SCOBot project or Pipwerks you'll hit the ground running.
Requires JavaScript friendly developer and some base SCORM knowledge attained thru reading. This could be outsourced.
Knowing the version of SCORM you wish to support can help. Consult the LMS to find out that info.
Far as presenting / creating content; if you are doing this from scratch you'd need a HTML/JS developer or if its more interactive your dipping into WebGL, Canvas or beyond. There are other paid services like iSpring, Captivate and others that offer content creation with SCORM Standards support. They may even take care of the packaging for you (covered below).
Packaging -
This requires a zip (CAM content aggregated model) which includes a imsmanifest.xml file to describe a one to many relationship of a TOC. Again simple is 1, many begins to allow you to group tiers and add objectives and other things increasing complexity but doable.
You can perform creating this package with XML, Zip and specification knowledge. I have a Packaging app on my site and a Mac (free) applescript which can also perform very basic packaging. I am not away of any other free options.
Deployment
Commonly performed thru FTP/FileShare by uploading these CAM (zip) packages. LMS decompresses and reads the manifest. Sometimes you can just copy the raw files up to the LMS thru a media / content server but this greatly depends on the options.

Google-analytics framework for predictive analysis

I'm trying to use the google-analytics framework to create predictive analysis tools. For example I would like to cluster my webpage visitors, etc.
In general, is there any list of machine learning algorithms implemented by this framework? for example: regression, clustering, classification, feature selection, etc.
Thank you for any help
Depending upon your language of choice, you might want to export your Google Analytics Metrics to flat files or a database and then start experimenting with ML models. Two popular languages with stable ML Implementations are Python and R. R's caret package includes tools for building a predictive model pipeline. Python's scikit-learn also contains implementations of all major classes of ML algorithms.
When you say GA framework I'll assume you're referring to the set of Google Analytics APIs listed here. The framework by itself doesn't provide machine learning capabilities. It merely provides access to the processed and aggregated GA data stored in Google's servers. You can use the API and feed the data to a machine learning application/system/program that does all of the stuff you mentioned.

Tools and practices for small group collaboration?

I will be starting a senior design project in a week with 2 or 3 other engineers. We are electrical engineers but we will need to do some coding for our project.
Right now, I think using Google Code + Visual Studio + AnkhSVN is a good solution on the code side. We also need to:
Maintain design documents
Have a smooth way of communicating
Would you recommend anything in particular beyond a central network storage, and e-mail?
Edit: We are not going to set up or configure anything. I would rather just pay for cheap (
Yes, a good wiki such as Atlassian's Confluence.
Wikipedia has a great list of Collaborative Software. I think a decent content management system would be essential for maintaining design documents (especially over plain network storage).
You might try Basecamp , the basic plan is enough for you already.

ASP.NET Application Development – Tools

We are building an ASP.NET website using C#.NET language and VSTS 2008.
Would you please let me know which are all the third-party tools those can help us in the complete SDLC of this project?
Thank you..
Regards,
Karina.
Try Microsoft Team Foundation Server. It will handle your source control, work item tracking, bug tracking, reports, and provide you with a Sharepoint project portal.
Phew! There's lots that you can use, basically a complete eco-system has been constructed around this.
Much depends on
the process you'll use to develop the software (waterfall? agile? a mix?)
where your people are (if you have remote folks, you'll need good collaboration)
how many you are (small projects won't need quite as much project tracking software)
the kind of project you're on (a large complex site might need a comprehensive database management system, a small one can just use free tools)
what metrics you need to report
how experienced your developers are
the kind of graphic design expertise you have and need
your budget!
And that's just off the top of my head.
More specifically, here's some third-party tools I've used successfully that I'd not consider starting a project of any size without:
A source code repository: Subversion is a good one, TFS is expensive but does the job
A continuous integration server: I prefer Hudson, others like CruiseControl.NET
A refactoring tool for software developers (Refactor!, Resharper)
A virtual machine system for hosting test systems on a server (I use VMWare)
For larger teams where you're using Agile methodologies and need to report progress, consider Scrumworks.
Putting it another way, I'd suggest that you budget at least $500 per developer for tools, add-ons and geegaws beyond Visual Studio.
At home I use:
tortoises - Source Control - http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/
ankhsvn - VS Integration - http://ankhsvn.open.collab.net/
CruiseControl.Net - Continuous Integration - http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/Welcome+to+CruiseControl.NET
Screwturn wiki - wiki for knowledge sharing - http://www.screwturn.eu/
At work I use TFS.

Examples of SOA "enabled" software products?

Can somebody provide real world examples of software products or applications (commercial or open source) that have SOA in them?
Like for example some X company claiming that the latest released version of their software product is now SOA compatible.
SOA is not a specification that a software product could be claimed to be SOA compatible. Read more on what SOA is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture
SOA is basically an architecture/implementation technique which aims towards loose-coupling of the presentation layer with the data layer. Thus, multiple services/modules/applications could access the same data and use it as per their need. This loose-coupling can lead to more of distributed programming. The day you see that a particular service is more in demand, you could add nodes to your cluster for the particular service.
Examples per se would be applications that were build with SOA architecture. Liferay (an open source Java CMS) is a service-based application. All application that expose some sort of an API (see programmableweb.com) can be termed as SOA-enabled where in you pull data and consume it the way you want.
But yes, for sure, SOA is not a specification.
