I am in need of a tool to show the size of a word according to how many occurrences it has (similar to twitter trending topics),
is there a software to do this?
if not, is Processing a good option for this?
Thanks a lot
edit,
tnx for the response!, no I know this is called tag cloud and can use the proposed software on the answer and others!, cheers!
I recommend wordle, as it organizes de words in different ways

Im looking for a way to add an NPC which sells items based on the achievements a character has. Because of my lack of other coding skills, if at all possible i would like to achieve it with SQL commands, hence modifying the db. I was looking through the conditions page on the wiki but have no idea how to use the provided information.
Also i was backtracing the db regarding the NPC Charles Worth who happens to teach tailors recipes based on achievements they have. I intended to copy this toons conditions, but couldnt find what entries to use.
Any help, clarifying db entries, or pointing to the right direction in another way, is much appreciated.
Please follow this link for the documentation:
https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/conditions
You can use the source type: "SOURCE_TYPE_NPC_VENDOR" and the condition type: "CONDITION_ACHIEVEMENT" for what you need, how to implement this, you can find that in the link above.
Also, one way to make this easier is to use the tool developer by the azerothcore team, Keira3.
This is a very visual Database Editor and can help you understand what each column do as almost each cell is documented and you have links to the full documentation as well.

I know, the question isn't clear in itself. Let me explain.
I want to create a system where a visitor can choose options from different lists and result will be the total amount with all the details of the selected components.
Theoretically it's a simple formula but i have no idea how to apply it on wordpress. i am not even on moderate level in programming.
So, anyone has any idea, how it can be achieved, any plugin or functions.
Thanks in advance!
If your not comfortable coding this is a bit tough. It sounds like you're talking about some type of store (total amount?). A list of items with details and price and lists of add ons or features that change the price and product configuration? Something like that?
Coding this would I think be a bunch of jQuery/javascript. Otherwise try the Gravity Forms plugin (which I've used and should be able to do this for you) or perhaps a straight ecommerce plugin - there are lots. Then I think you just have to learn the plugin to get the setup you want.
When you run an Adobe product in a trial, a window appears each time asking if you have have a serial number yet or if you would like to continue with the trial. Next to that is a lovely 'number ticker', like the ones they used to have at airports (see image).
Does anyone know where I can get one of these, preferably gratis, to use as a component in a flex application?
As promised an version of the flip clock, ready to use on github free of charge. If anyone has request. By all means - ask.

edit: Sorry aboutt he broken link. Some how the .git at the end of the URL buggered.
I made an app that uses such a feature. Download the air app and take a look. Its just a super simple poker game timer, but it has the feature you require.
if you like it, then I'll sift the code out.
http://pokerblind.strangemother.com/app/data/application/versions/0.1/air/PokerBlind.air
Its a heady mixture of OOP class code and front end. The numerals are a Numeric item in the library of which are managed by a timer class and number counting class. Extendable enough and the graphics should be easy enough to rip apart.
A while back I started working on a component like this. It's not super sexy yet. Check out the code on github:
https://github.com/jamesward/FlipClock
There are a few decent components available for close to free that I've found at activeden.net. They generally include source code so you can change them to meet your exact need. Here's a good example of what you can find there: http://activeden.net/item/flip-numbers/104628
Hope that helps.
A very good looking component can be found here:
http://www.flashcomponents.net/component/sense_flip_clock_3d.html
It does cost 8$, though. :)
I am trying to find a list of what ISBNs are in use. I guess I could scrape a website like Amazon but that would waste a lot of bandwidth. Is there a better (free) way?
Maybe you could use the remote API for isbndb.com.
Trying to keep an enormous ISBN list up-to-date yourself is quite a huge task if you ask me.
Just for the record: note that if you actually want an ISBN for your publication, you need to go to the official agency in your country. In the US this is http://www.isbn.org/ , but it varies by country. In Australia, for example, it is here.
This might help: What is the most complete (free) ISBN API?
As the accepted answer states there is also an API to search Amazon but it's not actually supposed to be used in the way you wish to.
ended up using partial list from http://my.linkbaton.com/isbn/
Yes, try isbndb.com
I'm venturing into web programming for the first time and would like a nice way to display a frequency indicator of some data, in the form of a tag cloud.
For example, pretend I have some simple data of three types of pets: Dog, Cat, Monkey.
There are 5 Dogs, 27 Cats and 101 Monkeys.
Given this data, what's the best way to make a tag cloud to visually indicate that I have way too many monkeys, not as many cats, and that I definitely need obtain a few more dogs?
Update: It would be great if the solution was actually discussed and answered on stackoverflow. Linking externally is good to help support the answer, but leaving the links as an answer is not necessarily what stackoverflow is about. Anyone can google to find what has been linked. The hope is that stackoverflow will be the place to find the answer. This is just a request to help make stackoverflow better. :)
I don't believe this is the answer you're looking for, but there is a Cloud Control for ASP.NET available at CodeProject:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/cloud.aspx
It's looks fairly easy to use.

Edit: I should probably credit my source. The link above was found on the following web page:
http://www.technacular.com/2007/04/22/how-to-create-a-tag-cloud/
This page contains some additional general information related to building a Tag Cloud. Best of luck!
You need to first decide your metric (i.e. what you want to measure, in this case number of pets per type), and second how you map that metric onto a set of classes. These classes are equivalent to the styles you attach to the tags.
A quite simple mapping would be x[i] / sum(x) giving a ratio between 0 and 1. Define subranges on the range [0, 1], for example 4 ranges from 0..0.25, 0.25..0.50 and so on. Find the index of the subrange (0,1,2,3) and assign the tag a CSS class "tagX".
There are many approaches and techniques...
