For my recent project I need to work with as1.
The problem is that I have a little bit forgotten as1, I think my last coding in as1 was nearly 8 years ago.
My first question is, is there any web site to refererence as1 syntax or an as2 to as1 guide?
Second one is about eval(). Is there is any difference between as2 eval to as1 eval.
A great place to start is the As1 reference:

I am adding some features to a legacy web application, which has a JavaScript snippet equivalent to the following, for constructing the path of a relative URL. A comment in the original code implies the document.all call might be for Internet Explorer 6 detection:
var url = document.all ? 'path;' : 'path?';
// followed by code adding query parameters separated by &
I've searched and read around the web, and understand that using document.all for browser detection is passé. I don't have access to IE 6, and think anybody that uses it should stop. At the same time, I don't want to cause problems for any users out there that may still be using it.
My question here: Are there any current browsers (I'm liberally including IE 6 in this group) that, for any reason, would need a semicolon rather than a question mark to separate the path from the query.
Hell no man. The question mark is how it's been since CGI came on the scene in at least the early ninties, maybe earlier. It's part of RFC 1738. I don't think any browser ever has used a semicolon instead of a question mark.
Edit: Looks like there was a ;params feature in HTTP/1.0, but that's in addition to the ?query part. Seems to have gone away in HTTP/1.1 though which has long been the standard. I'd be curious to hear if anyone's ever used it? I've been doing web development for 10 years and never heard of anyone using it.

Do I really need version control?
My question is simple enough. When I am in Xcode and right click a file and go down to "Source Control>Commit Selected File...", it brings up a new screen.
My question is this:
What is committing files for? I'm simply trying to understand the pros and cons.
Thanks!
Jake
EDIT: Now I understand, thanks for the responses!
Sometimes, it is possible to draw yourself into a corner: You have a great idea, you change many things, and you notice your idea wasn't as good as you thought. If you had source control, you could just go back to the last working version easily, cleanly, reliably and quickly.
Version control is also a way to back up a working copy of your code. If you don't understand the benefits, you definitely need it.

Tips for an iOS developer to learn Mac programming?
After having spent a year in IOS-development, I'd like to broaden my horizon and jump into OSX-development. Does anyone have a good ressource, book, online or otherwise? I'm looking for: 'the differneces in short and fast are', instead of 'first, download xcode'. Any tipps appreciated!
I advice to use learning resources from http://developer.apple.com
This is the standard for learning Cocoa on Mac OSX. I went through it and found it to be very good:
http://www.bignerdranch.com/book/cocoa_programming_for_mac_os_x_rd_edition_
Also, this book was good but felt more like a reference and less like a tutorial which the previous book was:
http://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-Developers-Handbook-Chisnall/dp/0321639634/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1316367686&sr=8-3
After those, this advanced book is good:

I also recommend the WWDC videos if you pay for the dev program. Good hands on practical advice and walk throughs on good topics.

We are working on a hiring application and need the ability to easily parse resumes. Before trying to build one, was wondering what resume parsing tools are available out there and what is the best one, in your opinion? We need to be able to parse both Word and TXT files.
I suggest looking at some AI tools. Three that I'm aware of are
ALEX
Sovren
Resume Mirror
I think all the products handle Word, txt, and pdf along with a bunch of other document types. Although I've never used it, I've heard unfavorable things about Resume Mirror's accuracy and customer support. I'm a contract recruiter and have used both Sovren's and Hireability's parsers in different ATS's. From my view I thought Hireability did a better job, with Sovren it seemed like I was always fixing errors. And when there was a goof with Hire's I gave it to my ATS vendor and it seemed like it was fixed pretty quickly. Good luck.
Don't try to build one unless you want to dedicate your life to it. Don't re-invent wheels!
We build and sell a recruitment system. I did a long evaluation a few years ago and went for Daxtra - the other one in the frame was Burning Glass but I got the impression that Daxtra did non-US resumes better.
Anyway, we're re-evaluating it. Some parts it does brilliantly (name, address, phone numbers, work history) as long as the resume is culturally OK. But if it's not then it fails. What do I mean: Well, if the resume has as the first line:
Name: Sun Yat Sen
then Daxtra is smart enough to figure out that Sun Yat Sen is the guy's name. (Girl's?)
But if it has as the first line:
Sun Yat Sen
It can't figure it out.
On the other hand if the first line is
Johnny Rotten
then Daxtra works out his name.
Also, it works really well on UK addresses, fairly well on Australian addresses, crashes and burns on Indonesian addresses. That said, we've just parsed 35,000 Indonesian resumes relatively well - CERTAINLY far better than not doing it at all, or doing it manually!
On Skilling: I reckon if someone really tried to make the Skills section work then it would take 3 man-months or so and it would work really well.
Summary: Don't write it yourself, do some really good research on real resumes that you want parsing and dive in.
The key thing is: Don't expect any tool to be anywhere near 100% accurate - but it's a lot better than not having it.

FWIW I just ran 650 international resumes through Rchilli and found the accuracy to be very poor. Names & addresses were mangled and the detail fields were hit and miss.
This was a mix of pdfs & Word docs, primarily from Europe & Asia.
I have seen a lot of resumes in PDF format. Are you sure you don't care about them?
I'd recommend something simple:
Download google desktop search or
similar tool (i.e. Copernic)
Drop the files in a directory
Point the index tool to that
directory, and punch in your search
terms.
You may want to have a look at egrabber and rchilli these are two best tools out in the market.
I was wondering if any one update these list. Seems all are 2010 old almost 3 yrs old.
We integrated RChilli, and found them no flaw, support is best, and product is easier to use.
We tested RChilli, Hireability, and Daxtra. Sovren never responded to our emails.
Integration was smooth, and support is best in there.

Since the keyboard is the interface we use to the computer, I've always thought touch typing should be something I should learn, but I've always been, well, lazy is the word. So, anyone recommend any good touch typing software?
It's easy enough to google, but I'ld like to hear recommendations.
Typing of the Dead!
It's a good few years old so you may have to hunt around, but it's a lot of fun and as well as the main game there are numerous minigames to practice specific areas you may be weak on.
I trained my typing on GNU Typist. It comes with exercises for various languages and keyboard layouts, if you're so inclined.
One of the most fun typing programs I used is dvorak7min. It has a nastiness mode where for each typo you make, the cursor goes back by 1. So if you don't watch your typing, you'll be back to square 1….
If you want some motivation to learn to touch type read Steve Yegge's Blog rant:
Programming's Dirtiest Little Secret
Find a long document on the web, using Firefox
Press CTRL+F
Type along with the document. Try it, it works.
Mavis Beacon.
Although not nearly as fun as Typing of the Dead!
I've been touchtyping since I was 10 years old (on a real typewriter at that!) but one thing that helped my sister learn touchtyping is hanging out in IRC channels. You want to be able to "talk" as fast as you can speak and that trained her in typing a lot faster.
I know it's a lame answer and not really a software solution or what, but it worked for a lot of people I know. :)
Try http://keybr.com/? It is a little different from the usual format of free typing tutors. If you create an account, it keeps track of your progress as well. No add-ware and no pop-ups, or other useless junk.
If you want to learn by getting thrown in the deep end... DasKeyboard ultimate will have you touch typing in no time :)
I use Rapid Typing to learn touch typing. It has excellent visuals and it's even somewhat relaxing to type.
About the recommendation to use the DasKeyboard, I just started using one today! But be aware that it makes a lot of noise. I was mortified how much noise it was making in my super quiet office filled with other people, who are engineers but mostly not developers. I asked the person across from me if it was too noisy. She hesitated for a fraction of a second before insisting it was fine, and when I said I would put it away she barely protested. So I packed it up. Maybe if you are just surrounded by other devs it would be OK. I'd love to hear of contrary experiences. I'm banging away from home right now though, as loud as possible, and loving it!
Oh, and you will definitely learn to touch type! Right now I have a picture of a labeled keyboard as my desktop image, but am referring to it less and less.

I have a really weird habitual way of typing where I use several fingers on my left hand but only one or two on the right. This has served me for years and apparently gives me 80+ words per minute, but it does seem an incredibly weird way to type. This is touch typing but not using the "standard" finger arrangement. While it's probably not a great idea to try and fix something that already works, I thought I'd try and relearn to type the proper way (left fingers on asdf and right fingers on jkl;).
I've been trying out Mavis Beacon and it seems alright, it slowly adds more and more letters to your repertoire allowing you to gain the muscle memory or whatever, and then focuses on speed. The "games" seem a little pointless (is this program designed for kids?), but I guess for someone who doesn't know where the keys are it does a good job showing you which fingers to use and where to move them. As I already knew where the keys are most of the program didn't really aid me. Once you know where the keys are you probably just want to practice typing out text and a program like that won't really aid any more than notepad apart from counting your words per minute and giving you something to type. I agree with Typing of the dead being pretty awesome though, and will definitely help with your speed once you've got the finger arrangement down.
Do all you touch typers use the standard finger arrangement or do you just do your own thing? I think I've come to the conclusion I'll just stick with what I know, it seems to work anyway.
For the sake of completeness, my wife used KP Typing Tutor, worked great.
+1 on chatting more
I used the TTCoach plugin for Vim and have been very happy with it. It doesnt come with any exercises for numbers and symbols however, but it is easy to just make some text files yourself and write :TTCustom file.txt to use it for exercising.
Just learn a couple of characters at a time and when you got them nailed, learn a couple more and so on...
I've been using TypeFaster. It's not pretty, but one nice feature is that it can load lessons in different keyboard layouts, like Colemak (layout files here) or Dvorak.
