A bunch of people have been asking me to do an “Ask Me Anything”, so today I did just that.
I basically answered every question I received over a 1 hour and 45 minute period. Sorry about the lighting, but that is the best I could do for $50 🙂 Thank you to everyone that contributed to this video. It was a ton of fun for me!
If you like videos like this feel free to share on google+ [googleplusone]
I’m really really really really really really glad you will be focusing on android development this year!!!! Looking forward to the webservices tutorials as well since I believe that it will be important to the android tutorials just as you said about inkscape.Thank you for all youve done.
Yes web services will definitely be covered. It will be fun.
missed it as it was too late for me . i am in India .. but luv this recording !
Thank you 🙂 It was fun to do.
Hello Derek,
First I want to thank you for all of your sharing. We are lucky to have u :).
I have a couple of questions that I hope u can advice on them. I am wondering what is your approach ( steps) when u start in a project , I mean starting from gathering business needs to build interfaces. And second what is best java java web framework ?
Thanks again for ur time.
Hello Mohamed,
You’re very welcome 🙂 I’m very happy that I can help. I start every project by modeling everything in UML. I demonstrate exactly what I do in my Object Oriented Design tutorial. Spring is pretty much the most common java framework.
Thank you Derek.very helpful
When are the android game tutorials coming? So looking forward to it…
As soon as possible. Sorry it is taking so long.
take your time Derek thank you for all your hard work
You’re very welcome 🙂
I’ve been learning quite a bit from your Inkscape Tutes. I appreciate them. Two quick comments or questions though.
Just a minor suggestion. On all your tutorials it might be helpful to let viewers know which release your using since things change from version to version. I’m using 0.48 in Inkscape and it seems from the screen icons in the video you seem to be using an earlier version. Just a bit confusing until I figured it out.
Also I’ve tried several ways to keep my default settings, (layers swatches etc)for the next time I open Inkscape… so far nothing works. Do you have any surefire way to do that?
Thanks and keep up the good work. I’m contributing, not much but hope it helps.

Thank you 🙂 I should have another Inkscape tutorial up tonight. I’m using .48. You may see different things because I enlarge all the icons so they are easier to see. Sorry about any confusion that may have caused.
Sorry I missed this. There is no way to save default settings. I’ve tried everything.
Hi Derek,
Just wondering if you have covered tutorials on creating Java Web Applications. Involves being able to save files on the web-server such that users can access it?
Kind Regards,
Dheeraj
Hi Dheeraj,
Sorry, but I have not covered Java enterprise yet. I will do so as soon as possible.
I have left a question in JTrees some 15 days ago do u mind answering it plz!!
I’m sorry, but I didn’t get it. Did you leave it on youTube?
no on the JTree i guess video no 28 or 30
great videos and very helpful …. thanx
in MVC video you add an inner class, why ?
how about concert, abstract etc.
again many thanx
Thank you 🙂 I often write these programs out of my head and at the time an inner class made sense. I do tend to use inner classes a lot though.
Hi Derek,
I google and find this website today,
http://www.sanfoundry.com/java-android-program-parse-xml-dom/
There’re a lot of contents as same as yours!
It looks are without your consent? or you did teach in India before…
Hi Sarah,
Yes that is definitely my code, but I don’t care. I always tell people they can do anything they want with my code. Thanks for pointing that out 🙂
Will you cover blender eventually with android game programming?
I definitely can, but it will be a while till I get to it.
Hi derek,
I saw few android videos of yours it is just awesome n helped me a lot thanks for making such type of videos.
I am making a simple android app in which i have an image and i wanted this image to be displayed in circular shape so if possible help me for this. thanking you…
Thank you 🙂 I’m glad you are enjoying them. You can use transparent pngs which would help. I plan on spending more time on interface design soon after covering App Inventor.
I want to do an application of common rail injector with java swing and C#
how can I make an initiation in that kind of app development
I’m not sure what you mean by rail injector?
Thank you for your tutorials ! You are really a great developer !
I am asking you to make some video tutorial about some PHP Frameworks, specially Symfony and Zend, please.
Thank you 🙂 I have a Zend tutorial in the planning stages right now. I’ll get to it as soon as possible.
Hey Derek, how are things?
I am having a little issue and was wondering if you could help or point me in the right direction.
I have a Search box on an online printer cartridge store that I designed. The Search works just fine, but almost too well.
Let’s say I type, Laserjet 4 into the box. I get everything that has Laserjet and 4 in it, such as Laserjet Pro M451.
If I use quotes and type, “Laserjet 4” it narrows it a lot further but I’ll still get stuff like Laserjet 4500.
Is there some sneaky way to just get the results with Laserjet 4 in them? If it helps, the website is http://www.theonlinetonerstore.com You wont see the printers for the cartridge unless you are on the Single Product page, reached by clicking a product.
As always thank you for your help, as this site would not have been possible without your amazing tutorials.
Hey Scott,
Thank you 🙂 You could do a bunch on things. You could make your SQL queries more specific. You could use limit in your queries to limit results. Are you using MySQL? I have a bunch of tutorials on it that may help.
Hello Sir
what is the harder task in software campany ?
I want to ask which is the complicated task an IT company deals with ?
Plz replay
Hi,
That depends. I have been brought in as a consultant to many companies and the worst part for me is poor documentation. Most failed projects I have been involved with occurred because a lead programmer didn’t document their code or create understandable sequence diagrams. Then when they leave the whole project collapses.
Aside from that solving problems in a flexible way and creativity.
Hi Derek,
Just want to say awesome work and i really appreciate all the tutorials you have made i have seriously learnt a lot from you and you truely deserve my thank you.
I wanted some advice from you, i want to start developing iphone apps and wanted to know which programming languages would i need to start learning? Also i wanted to ask you, you must have heard of the app ‘instagram’ i wanted to know is that a actual mobile app or is that a html5 app if you knew? Any ways best of luck and keep up the good work.
Hi Alex,
I’m very happy that I could help 🙂 To make iPhone apps you can either get one of the graphical tools like Titanium, PhoneGap, etc. or you could learn Objective C. That is basically all you need to learn.
As per Instagram, it looks like it was made using Objective C. There isn’t much to Instagram except they were lucky enough to get popular. I wish you all the best.
