I need to get the last day of the month, I've tried to run a VB script but I might be using this tool wrong or maybe I'm really bad with VB...
I highly recommend looking into https://botstore.automationanywhere.com/bot/change-date-and-time-format/
This metabot is provided by AA and comes with the functionality you're looking for and then some. Integrating metabots early will aid you in the future when you begin needing them.

As I'm a newbie, I'm kinda stucked in the logic and/or syntax of RoR at times - and so am wondering if any of y'all know a website where I can just schedule training sessions as and when I need it with tuition paid on an hourly basis?
I know it's not code related question, but searching on google didn't really help me much in finding reliable tutors (with proper credentials).
Thanks.
I am new to stackoverflow, so please forgive me.
I am trying to create a student timetable for a student information system as part of a University project that will display the times, dates, details of modules as well as the location of the events.
I have done endless research and I haven't found a solution to my problem. I know there are the likes of the DHTMLX scheduler and Daypilot scheduler (Which is exactly the sort of thing I have been looking for) but these do not really suit for a number of reasons:
Both only offer 30 day trials and I would need it for slightly longer than that as the project is needed right up to July
I have tried to follow the tutorials for the DayPilot scheduler lite version but it just does not seem to load for me no matter what I try.
I have looked everywhere but nothing seems to be working for me and that's why I would love some feedback/advice if there are any other methods that I should explore.
I am using MVC 4 in Visual Studio 2012.
Thanking you in advance :)
You can try JavaScript DHTMLX Scheduler. It is free under GPL license, which should be ok for a university project. You'll need to manually implement loading and saving of calendar data (which is done by helpers in ASP.NET version of the component), although it should be not that difficult. You can check this tutorial, it's quite outdated but still may be useful
http://www.dhtmlx.com/blog/dhtmlxscheduler-for-net-mvc/
Note that starting from the latest version the GPL package does not include several modes, such as Timeline or Units(resources) views
However, if you need them you can grab the previus version from a GitHub https://github.com/DHTMLX/scheduler/tree/v4.2.0
Currently we're experimenting with TFS2012. We're new to agile, but love it right away. Anyway, what we're looking for is cross-project / cross-sprint resource planning facility.
To be more specific, if I work in multiple projects simultaneously, I need a view for my superiors to show them how busy I am. Something very much like this :
Now I know that TFS has all the data required for that. Does such a thing exist? Or would I have to develop a plugin myself?
EDIT: Since this has been answered, I posted a follow-up detail question.
I haven't seen anything with such a feature, however using the api to access iteration dates to generate an iCal which can be imported to an exchange calendar seems fairly easy.
I am looking at Quartz.Net and it seems to be almost a year ago.
I am wondering if they stopped development on it or it the next versions is just taking a while to do?
I am asking this because I really don't like to invest time in something that is at the end of its life or not being developed on anymore because I just know in the future I going to have to upgrade to something different so might as well just start with something else.
Of course whatever I choose might not be developed on in the future either but I like to see new versions to be a few months within the time I start to use that product.
If it is dead anyone have any other alternatives that are being still worked on and have the same features as Quartz?
Quartz.NET development hasn't stopped at all, it just moved to github. If you check the source repository at sourceforge, the last commit was 4 months ago and it clearly says "Source moved to GitHub, removing trunk as it's misleading at the moment".
The github repository has currently 28 watchers and 8 forks, and active contributors (i.e. it's not a one-man show) so the project is definitely not going to die any time soon.
By the way, the latest release was 1.0.3 (August 2010), at the time of this writing this is much less than a year ago.
Quartz.net is actually very active. I've written to #lahma a couple of time for bugs and he fixed it in a very short time.
A couple of months ago I had tried the 2.0 and it was a little bit buggy.
I know there's a new API. You might give it a go.
When you are facing with this kind of dilemma, what do you usually do, and why?
In my case, I want to create a user authorization system that works with facebook connect and openID.
Authlogic is working, but unfortunately authlogic-openid is no longer supported (they really should clean up ancient codes on github!)
Thanks!
It's better to use whatever works.
During the time you're building website, luck of continuous development shouldn't be a problem: you just need to see whether this version works.
And if later in production, for example, facebook outdates part of its API, you'll have lots of time to find solution.
There's general philosophy behind it, which I summarize as "do not solve problem before it appears" :)
I I think the best way is to contribute to the existing plugin with your required code implementation. Advantages are
1 - you will get what you want
2 - Plugin will be more rich and active
3 - You will not repeat the work that plugin authors has done already (which saves your time)
Thanks
cheers

You're just going to have to make an assessment. It's not like the plugin is going to stop working one day (barring changes to OpenID or something), but it may limit which versions of Rails you'll be able to use it with. If you think that its limitations are a problem, then find another solution.
Thankfully, most plugins aren't that big. You can usually extract the functionality you need and keep it up to date yourself without that much work. But it is work, and it takes time. So whether it's worth it to you is really up to you.
