Hola Jose, Primero que nada, felicidades por conseguir un proyecto, en especial si es el primero (o el primero en el que te van a pagar por el), en Mexico es difícil que la gente que no es de IT se interese por soluciones de IT para sus problemas. Segundo, el precio de un proyecto depende mucho de lo que le vas a invertir en hacerlo y a tu nivel de experiencia, si no tienes experiencia considera que le vas a invertir mucho (tiempo) al mismo, consecuentemente, tu precio seria bajo por la misma falta de experiencia; si ya eres un desarrollador experimentado, el proyecto seria mas sencillo porque la experiencia te ayuda a encontrar atajos, pero por lo mismo cobrarías mas caro tu tiempo. Por ejemplo, en el caso de tu proyecto, por ese precio yo (un desarrollador experimentado) buscaría algo que ya existiera y que cumpliera el 99% de lo que el cliente quiere y que se pudiera implementar en una semana a lo mucho, si el cliente quiere algo a la medida, me temo que el precio es muy bajo, como 4 o 5 veces muy bajo y si no tienen un idea clara de lo que quiere yo les cobraría por hora. Tercero, no malbarates el trabajo por conseguir el cliente, el hacerlo acostumbra al cliente a que le cobres barato y cuando subas los precios refunfuñara y buscara al siguiente que le ofrezca un precio bajo, lo que a su vez perpetua el ciclo; ademas en mi experiencia, los clientes dispuestos a pagar poco son los que mas lata dan (requieren mas soporte, y disponibilidad de ti). Finalmente, mucha suerte en tu proyecto y recuerda, hacemos magia y la magia no es barata. Definitely not Google Translated: Hi Jose, First of all, congratulations for your new project, especially if it's the first one (or the first one you'll be paid for), in Mexico is hard for not IT people to be interested in IT solutions for their problems. Second, the price of the project depends into how much you'll invest into doing it, and your experience level, if you're inexperienced you'll invest too much (time), and therefore, you'll charge very little because you're inexperienced; if you're an experimented developer, the project will be easier because experience helps you to find shortcuts, but consequently, you will charge a lot more for your time. For example, with your project, for that price, I (an experienced developer) would look for an existing solution that does 99% of what the customer wants and that i would be able to implement in a week at most, if the customer wants something custom, then I'm afraid the price is too low, like

How about Windows Movie Maker?, it's discontinued, but if you can find in the internet the installer for Windows Essentials or Windows Live Essentials, then you can install it from there. According to Wikipedia it was officially replaced with Video Editor (included in the Microsoft Photos app) and/or with Clipchamp.

I learned Java using Deitel books, (Java How to Program), so that's what i would recommend.

If you're able to boot from the old drive, try getting the drivers with Double Driver, this is an old program that lets you grab the drivers your current Windows set up has, this is a very old program (Works fine even on Windows 11 last time i tried) so you won't find a official download site, but you can find it floating in the net.

Not in Visual Basic... (Run away laughing maniacally) :laugh:

I no longer depend on Recovery Partitions, as most of the time i would just nuke the partitions in the drive anyway, also i no longer trust the drivers available in manufacturers web sites to install properly in later versions of Windows, so i just extract them using Double Driver and i'm able to simply install whatever version of Windows i fancy and restore most of the drivers shortly after.

I barely trust Google to be my search engine, and honestly most of it out of habit, so no, i don't trust my passwords to them. If you're super paranoid, you can use an open source password manager like KeePass, or if you want some more convenience something like Bitwarden, which can also be self hosted.

Actually in one evening, but i didn't learn it in deep, just the basic, how to declare variables functions, calling conventions, arrays, etc.; just enough to be able to do the interview, read code and perhaps make a simple example or two. In the end it wasn't how deep i knew VB.NET, it was my willingness to learn and to keep going, what really impressed them and got me that job.

I think you're trying to encompass too much, part of being a software developer/programmer, is be able to know when something is feasible or not given the time and resources available (time and/or money) and prioritize based on that, and while learning above the curriculum is fine, your primary target is to get your degree, which is what will make you marketable in your firsts jobs. Moreover, whatever language/tooling you learn in your school days might not be applicable to your future jobs, in my case, i learned C++ and Java at school (those were the languages the school liked to use), and when i got my first development job i had to learn VB.NET, for the interview, one day before, as that was the technology they used.

Hi. If you don't mind using a standalone software for reporting, i recommend you to try [DBxtra](https://dbxtra.com/), it's easy to use (drag and drop!), and let you edit queries if you know what you're doing (SQL code). Disclaimer: I work for them.

The point of reimplementing well known algorithms at your stage is not that you copy and paste the solution, is that you learn how to solve a problem, being it well known helps you and the teacher to verify that your solution is correct, so even if you reach the same solution the book does (which may not be the only way to do it, as there may be better and more optimized solutions), you have learned how to think about the problem and solve it, and those that copy and paste are not learning anything besides how to copy and paste, and hopefully, how to Google the solution. Also, even if the teacher can't differentiate your solution from a copied one, if you're asked to explain it, he will quickly realize that you dind't do it, or that even bothered to understand what it does (Interviews are a different bag, especially when done by non technical people).

In my experience, changing the cooling policy to passive will slow down the computer to avoid it overheating and then will try to enable the fan when this is insufficient, also lowering the maximum processor state will avoid your computer reaching peak performance, so basically, you're trading performance for quietness.

Windows Photo Gallery from Windows Live Essentials 2012, it's discontinued and unsupported but works flawlessly in Windows 10, however, you must look for the installer in some "unofficial" sources.

Don't worry, it's raining season here, so my parade is ready for it :laugh: . I actually purchased it for all the extra buttons (and they're mapped to a lot of navigation shortcuts in Visual Studio), my previous mouse (a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000) had an extra "zoom" button, that at first though it was was a fancy gimmick, but proved pretty useful as i could remap it to do something more useful, so when it started to fail i look for another one or something similar, but all the ones i could find where wireless, which i didn't like, so i waited until i found one wired and with more buttons. However, i still miss the solid feeling of that Microsoft mouse, as the Logitech one feels too light for my tastes.

Recently, i switched from a Microsoft mouse to a Logitech Gaming one (a G300S if you're interested), which is both inexpensive and pretty useful as it has a lot of programmable buttons, unfortunately, to program them you need Logitech drivers, but once you do so, and the profile is stored in the mouse itself you shouldn't need them.

Neither, it was Salvador Dali.

Most likely is still a drivers issue, also i recommend you to verify how many cores your virtual machine has, given that, since Windows Vista, Windows is not happy with anything less than 2 cores. To be honest, i would try doing a clean install from within Parallels in a Virtual Hard Drive.

Use HandBrake, is almost dead easy to use, if your DVDs are encrypted, DVD Decrypter, MakeMKV or AnyDVD should help you with that.

Last time i developed for an iDevice i used WeinRe for debugging, it works pretty fine with Chrome.

Wait until they do a major upgrade, and then let me know how much love you still have for them... ;P
