This TIBCO tutorial teaches you how to formulate a routine definition that writes the words “Hello, World!” into a file using TIBCO Designer. You will actually be grateful for how easy this is to do with TIBCO. The neat thing regarding application development with TIBCO Designer is that you do not have to know the programming syntax on how to carry out most of the tasks. Take, for example, the syntax for writing to a file so that you may output “Hello, World!” into the file. This task requires psychological result of perception learning and reasoning of the file writing syntax specific to the programming language being used. With the TIBCO Designer tool, all you have to do is place the suitable action (in this case, the Write File activity) into the process. After that, you provide the file path and text content of “Hello, World!” into the action configuration. Then you’re done! No need to recognise the syntax and the use of the suitable classes behind the scenes. This tutorial is a good activity of formally presenting something of how TIBCO increments developer productivity. Enjoy!

The writing of output into a file may be achieved by creating and configuring a Write File action in TIBCO Designer. The steps to do this are as follows:

1. Create a new empty project called XmarterTIBCOTutorials.
2. Inside the XmarterTIBCOTutorials root folder, manufacture a new folder called BusinessProcesses.
3. Inside the BusinessProcesses folder, develop a new folder called HelloWorld.
4. Inside the HelloWorld folder, add a procedure definition called HelloWorld.
5. Add a Write File action into the routine definition. Configure the Write File action as follows:
   • Go to the Input tab of the activity:
     • In the fileName field, type “C:/HelloWorld.txt”.
     • In the textContent field, type “Hello, World!”
   • When done, click the Apply button in the Write File action and save the whole project.
6. Create a transition line from the Start action to the Write File action and another from the Write File action to the End activity.
7. Validate the resource and make sure there are no faults before testing the process.
   • To do this, deselect all the activenesses by clicking on a white space inside the procedure definition. Then click on the Validate Resource button on the top section of TIBCO Designer.
8. Go to the Tester tab on the left-hand side of TIBCO Designer. Click on the Start testing button. In the dialog box that comes up, click on the Load & Start Current button.
   • The routine must now execute.
9. To check the output, go to My Computer, and open the C drive. Check to see that it holds a HelloWorld.txt file with a “Hello, World!” text written to the file.

I hope this TIBCO tutorial has been helpful to you. As you may see in the steps above, no coding is required for you to write text into a file. The main bulk of the work is genuinely in the Write File activity. The steps where I had you develop the project folders were just for good project organization. Those steps were not necessary to the actual functionality.

This is just one of a lot of instances in which TIBCO dramatically boosts developer productivity. In my opinion, developer productivity is one of the reasons that make TIBCO such a spectacular tool for application development.

Hello World

“Computer programming is a powerful tool for children to ‘learn learning,’ that is, to learn the achievements of thinking and problem-solving…Children who engage in programming transfer that kind of learning to other things.”–Nicholas Negroponte, the man behind the One Laptop Per Child project that hopes to put a computer in the hands of each child on earth, January 2008

Your computer won’t respond when you yell at it. Why not learn to talk to your computer in it is own language? Whether you want to write games, start out a business, or you’re just curious, learning to program is a great place to start. Plus, programming is fun!

Hello World! provides a tame but indepth introduction to the world of computer programming. It’s written in language a 12-year-old may follow, but any individual who wants to learn how to program a computer may use it. Even adults. Written by Warren Sande and his son, Carter, and reviewed by professional educators, this book is kid-tested and parent-approved.

You don’t need to know anything when it comes to programming to use the book. But you will have to know the fundamental principle of using a computer–e-mail, surfing the web, listening to music, and so forth. If you may commence a program and save a file, you ought to have no disturb using this book.

The Excellent Teach Your Kids (Or Teach Yourself) Programming In The Python Language Book.
By Ira Laefsky
This attractive and moderately-sized volume gets elementary through high school education in programming computers right, and makes the best use of the universally available (and free) “batteries-included” language–Python. In the early days of personal computers (about 1978), everyone and his brother had a Teach Yourself Basic on the TRS-80 or Apple-II programming book that got you and your kids up to speed in the Dartmouth-developed (Digital Equipment Corporation-improved) BASIC computer programming language. At that time, you were lucky if at the conclusion of the book you could produce a simple-minded character-based Tic-Tac-Toe game (or self-prompted lessons in the multiplication tables). With excellent pedagogy and the libraries (like PYGAME) now available for the modern Python programming language this book enables the home-schooled student (or timid grandparent) to build sophisticated simulations and graphical entertainment (like a virtual pet) at least equivalent to the commercial games available in that era.

Due to the excellent tools and step-by-step examples given by Warren and Carter Sande the young reader, or his/her parent, is well prepared for a modern college level course in Data Structures or Algorithms with well illustrated examples of Lists, Modules, Event-driven and Object-Oriented Programming. The use of GUI-builders and programming libraries enable the novice to achieve impressive results within the course of a few short months of self-instruction.

The book is well illustrated, and the examples and tools downloadable from the book’s web site run correctly without the need to fix typo’s.

All in all, the book is an excellent read for a 12-year old, or an adult novice, and will provide superb instruction and entertainment for its readers.

Excellent but designed for PC not Mac
By I Teach Typing
I have been programming and teaching programming at the university level for 25 years and I have been looking for years to find a book for children, like my 10 year old son, who wanted to learn about programming but were not up to the high school reading level. This book perfectly fills the niche. With clear writing, well thought through examples and gentle humor, it is superb for the young learner. My son has taken over my PC since I gave him the book. So, it is safe to say it can hold a child’s attention.

The fact that it is good for a young audience does not mean that it is dumbed down too far to be useful for any age. The depth and pace of the material is appropriate for anyone, starting from scratch, who wants to learn to program from lots of examples. Actually, it sets the stage nicely for someone who is anxious about needing to learn programming at the university level.

The only real down side is the support for Mac. The book uses Python which works on Mac, Windows and Linux but a couple of the components used in the book do not have good instructions for the Mac on the books website. For example, they are written for older Mac OS or require you to dig deep in the system files to find the directories where things belong. The forums on the website will help but expect to need to dig around a bit, especially if you use Mac OS 10.5 (Leopard), until the author(s) fix the main Mac instructions.

Even though I had to poke around a bit to make sure the Mac would behave, I still love this book. Setting aside the fact that this fills a badly need gap in programming instruction for kids, this book is just great with a wonderful ratio of code snippets to explanations and clear concise discussions of both basic and fairly advanced concepts (like object oriented programming).

What a great book for kids!
By Lisa Hartjes
My husband’s a computer programmer, and my nine year old son told us he wants to learn how to write computer programs too. I did a lot of looking around for something that would be suitable for my son to use, and finally discovered this book.

We had to wait a while for this book, as the release date was changed and there were other problems, but this was definitely worth the wait. My son read through the book in no time flat, and definitely understands what’s in it.

The next step is for the two of them to sit down and go through the code examples together.

Mr. Sande (young and old), thank you so much for writing this book!
