Talk:Microprocessor Design/Computer Architecture

CPU part picture
I was thinking to create a picture about the main component inside the CPU plus its connection to memory. It would contain the data bus, address bus, arithmetic unit plus program counter and so on. Ervinn 02:32, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Something's wrong with endianness!
The error I'm pointing out is so common that I've always been completely unable to clearly know the difference between each endianness. I mean, it's clear that the in-memory representation of multi-byte data on a LE computer will look reversed when compared with a BE computer; however, the definition given here (as well as in every other reference document I've consulted) is equivalent for both cases, so one of the definitions must be wrong. To put this issue clear, according to the definitions given: Computers that order data with the  LS byte in the lowest address  are known as "Little Endian", and computers that order the data with the  MS byte in the highest address  are known as "Big Endian". let's look at what would be putting each machine at the lowest address: the Little Endian machine is putting, as explicitly stated in the definition, the LS byte. For the Big Endian machine, a bit of reasoning is required: it's putting the MS byte in the highest address, so on the opposite (lowest) address it'd be putting the opposite (LS) byte. Hence both machines are puting the LS byte in the lowest address? Something's wrong here. I'd like to fix that myself, but since this error is so common (that thing that is wrong here is, unfortunately, wrong almost everywhere), I don't know which would be the right definition and which the one that has to be fixed.

Suggestion to the author (or to who decides to fix it): make a table showing the storing of a 16-byte (or larger) value in the memory for each case, so ambiguity would completely disappear. For example: 0x--34: MS: 00110011 (0x33) 0x--35: LS: 10101010 (0xAA) The actual data would be 0011 0011 1010 1010 (0x33AA), while interpreted in the other endianness (which one is this and which is the other??) would be 1010 1010 0011 0011 (0xAA33). If somebody can tell me if this example is either Little or Big endian I could fix the article myself (and even add some examples). Actually, since this example doesn't put either the LS byte in the lowest address nor the MS byte in the highest address, it wouldn't be any endianness according to the current definition.

Herenvardo 20:32, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, too many people are confused by this. I hope you and I can write something that will eliminate the confusion. Your example. increasing address > 0x33(MSB) 0xAA(LSB) to represent 0x33AA is big-endian -- the "big end" (MSB) comes first.

Allow me to quote "ON HOLY WARS AND A PLEA FOR PEACE" by Danny Cohen 1980 :

 * The first word  in  memory  is  designated  as  W0,  by  both  regimes.
 * Unfortunately, the harmony goes no further.

 * The Little-Endians assign B0 to the LSB of the words and B31 is the MSB.
 * The Big-Endians do just the opposite, B0 is the MSB and B31 is the LSB.

It all focuses on which end comes first. Computers that put the least-significant byte in the lowest ("first") address are little-endian. Computers that put the most-significant byte in the lowest ("first") address are big-endian.

I've added a little more explanation to the module. Does it make sense? Does it conform to Cohen's definition? Please do edit that section to make it easier to understand. Certainly we need to say it several different ways -- because too many people are confused, and just saying it once isn't enough to un-confuse them -- but also avoid making it sound more complicated and confusing than it really is. --DavidCary (talk) 17:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

"RISC and CISC and DSP" section
I've added another external link to where Phil Koopman's "Stack Machines" book can be read (or downloaded) online at no cost. Please note that he retains copyright & asks people to not pass on their copy but instead refer them to his website. Also, the book has been little changed since 1989, unlike it's subject. Phil's attention has moved on to other subjects, mostly robust OS security.

One reason I added this link is that Jeff Fox, the creator of the Ultratechnology website used in the previous link, died in 2011. I recall some discussion on comp.lang.forth about hosting his website. website.http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.forth/browse_thread/thread/622263caccba35b5/a1f9671f53b8cf78?lnk=gst&q=%22Jeff+Fox%22#a1f9671f53b8cf78 According to this, Jeff's lease on the Ultratechnology domain name will run out on May 12th, 2012 & unless the complang.forth can solve the problem link 2 will no longer work.

With another link it's less likely both won't work before someone can replace them. Spyk (discuss • contribs) 05:42, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Von Neuman, Harvard & Princeton Architectures.
Are Harvard & Princeton architectures 2 different types of Von Neumann architecture (as I suspect) , or are they 3 different architectures?, or is Princeton Architecture an impure Harvard Architecture ?

As I've found in my own writing, we really need better ways of illustrating the hierarchy of categories than size & boldness of text & scored lines.

Also we have to be very careful making statements about the history of ideas;- eg. was Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, (chiefly conceived but unbuilt by him, partly? built by others), a Von Neumann architecture machine? John nee Janos Von wasn't conceived at that point in time!

Previous | Production Process Overview

Development
Honestly how many different ways can one put an idea on paper? Scripting is scripting no matter what the recording medium is. DV may tend to use more AV side-by-side style scripting over the classical movie script, but other than that the conception stage is not where the differences lie.

That being said, solid development and planning leads to a superior final product. The script is the absolute bare rock foundation for a project. A bad script can ruin even the best production while even the best script can not save a bad production. Like a damaged seed will create a damaged plant, a bad script will create a damaged film. Evaluating a script for quality and production feasibility is the skill and art of a Producer.

To help filmmakers create scripts easier do not use Microsoft Word. Formatting and all that mess is a major hassle. There are a variety of great pay for software programs out there that will format a script to industry standards. The following options are presented in alphabetical order:
 * Celtx.
 * Final Draft. This is the program I (user:film8ker) but really that’s only because I had a friend that shared it with me.  It’s very easy to use and works well.  The new Final Draft AV looks very promising and I hope to get it soon.
 * Movie Magic. Some people swear that they will never use another program and other people hate it and will never touch it.  Personally I think it’s just as functional as the other programs, however if you pay the extra money to buy Movie Magic Budgeting, Movie Magic Scheduler, and Movie Magic Contracts, the products work well as a package.
 * Page2Stage. It’s now FREE!  Other than that it looks comparable to Final Draft.  You have to have a torrent client to download it, but you can’t beat legally Free!

Hello, Welcome to wikibooks!

I see that you've already joined our fledgling Counter-Vandalism Unit, and you've already helped with some vandalism. Thanks! My name is Whiteknight, and I'm an active wikibookian, and a bureaucrat here on en.wikibooks. If you need any thing, or if you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message on my user talk page. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 02:47, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

IP Vandal
I blocked that IP address for 1 week, I dont have time tody to clean up his mess. If you tag the things that need to be deleted, I will take care of it later. Thanks for the heads up. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 22:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Good to have some more help on RC stuff thanks (& you seem to be around when I'n not!). I notice your monobook.js has some interesting stuff in - mind if I take a look/test drive? Feel free to browse mine tho I'll be updating the editor to WikiEd fairly soon I think. Equally did AWB work at all - something I've been meaning to try out? Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 13:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

As a ps - noting the spam project box, feel free to delve in my history - WB has a very different approach to ELs compared to WP - could look at Staff_lounge --H

 * Great to come on in the morning for me and find the place clean - thanks a lot for the help. I looked at your .js but on wp I preferred Nav popups and they are working well for me here.  Regards -- Herby  talk thyme 08:07, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Ah, didn't realise that. I would not be without them, saves going to the page so often - trouble is I expect it to work with conventional web links .  This place is a little short of active "staff" users to do housekeeping type stuff so stick around - there is plenty to do!  What timezone are u BTW, I'm UK based - cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 09:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Spell checking is neat too! -- Herby talk thyme 19:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

In case you miss it!
Take a look at this maybe Staff_lounge, I'm sure you could help tho I realise that you may be busy which is fine - cheers -- Herby talk thyme 19:37, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

AWB
Maybe should look at planning any "runs" so that we cover different places and try and cover all the cleanups needed? My pet peeve is the absence of alpha cats around tho I'm working on them. Equally loads of pages lacks cats. Not around for a bit but catch you sometime - Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 18:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd tried AWB earlier in the day and got nowhere then realised that I had an old version. I'd forgotten how useful it was - and there are plenty of uncat'd pages in Wikibooks, never mind alpha cat'd!  Have you managed to get the spelling bit to work - it gave me a message about not finding the file and I could see anything in the default.xml about changing the file location?  As to the staff lounge stuff I guess I looked on you as "staff" in the sense that you appear interested in the whole project not just one topic (my definition only in case anyone gets upset!).  I now have quite a number of general pages (VfD, vandalism, RfA, etc) on my watch list.  Cheers -- Herby  talk thyme 12:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

 * When you do get back - typos should work with AWB now! Cheers -- Herby talk thyme 11:40, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Mumfum!!
Big thanks for the work - appreciated -- Herby talk thyme 08:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm at work  so can't really deal with it for a bit (put a note on both vandal and another admin page tho). I did have fun "finding" your talk page tho - had me worried for a bit.  The triple move idea is a bugger to deal with - I got in a tangle yesterday with one.  The decision making one looks like fun! The help you give is very welcome -- Herby  talk thyme 09:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Well you did have fun - lunchtime for me and a chance to wander with the broom. Pretty much head to head conflict there looking at the trail (I got so irritated by a similar one I self nom'd for admin!).  I think I've caught the bits that the others didn't catch and I did find one of the missing pages, just don't ask me how.  Again thanks it was good work, Wikibooks owes you -- Herby  talk thyme 13:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Your monobook
Az, I noticed on your monobook that you include every javascript manually. You may want to consider a shortened function to do it. So your first script could look like the following: function winc(s) { document.write(' '); }

winc('User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js'); // Script from User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js extra edit buttons And the rest of your funcitons would just be a list afterwards. Your Rollback functions one would have to be done manually, tho, since it is on Wikibooks. Just a thought. Cheers, User:Iamunknown 23:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Biblical Studies/New Testament Commentaries/The Gospel of John/Chapter 4

Introduction to Chapter 4
In chapter 4, the Baptism introduces the reader to a prominent theme of Wisdom (water) throughout John. First, Jesus reveals himself to a Samaritan woman at the well, which is remarkable since Samaritan women were regarded by Jews as impure. Therefore, Jews were forbidden to drink from any vessel they had handled. In addition, for Jesus to share a drinking vessel with the Samaritan woman was considered unclean and very dramatic.

At the end of chapter 4, Jesus returns to the territory around Cana where he’ll work his second sign by curing a Royal official’s son simply by his word. Jesus told the official to go home and his son would live. The man believed and on arriving home found his son well and that he had been healed at the hour when Jesus spoke his words. This sign may be one of the most vital and significant to us. It shows us that although Jesus is not physically present with us he is able to be spiritually with us. The significance for us is that Jesus is adoni of life. Also, these two revelations are meant to show that Jesus’ mission is to all people.

An important factor to consider before looking at the chapter is the relationship between the people of Judea and the people of Samaria.

The Samaritans also looked down on the Jews as unclean. When Joshuah entered the land he halted between two mountains Ebal and Gerizim. Ebal was named the mountain of cursing and Gerizim the mountain of blessing. Where would you say they placed that ark? Yes that's what the Samaritan scriptures say Mt. Gerizim. But the Hebrew scriptures inexplicably say Mt. Ebal. The Samaritans blame it on the wicked high priest Eli who they say usurped the priesthood and the ark. He also set up a counterfeit tabernacle at Shiloh.

Some Samaritans had intermarried with Assyrians and thus the Jews despised them as traitors and idolaters. The Jews of Judea looked down upon the Samaritans for that reason, among others.

The Samaritans also believe their Bible (the Pentateuch) is the pure one for it is written ion the ancient Hebrew. When the Jews returned from Babylon Ezra had rewritten the Hebrew scriptures from memory using new rounded letters. Jeremiah seems to agree with the Samaritans he wrote:

“How can you say that you are wise and that you know my laws? Look, the Word of Yah has been changed by dishonest scribes.”  (Jerm.8:8)

There was great deal of animosity among the Judeans and the Samaritans, and often Judeans would not travel through Samaria to get to Galilee. While this might be an issue of personal safety, it is more likely a result of the utter disdain felt for Samaritans by the Judeans. Also, travelers in those times stayed with relations and friends while on the road, and it was not likely for Judeans to find either of those in Samaria.

This is the first glimpse in the book of John where someone who is not Jewish is promised the opportunity for eternal life. It shows that Jesus is not merely there for the Jews, but for all the peoples of earth who are willing to listen to his message. The Samaritan woman also speaks of the Christ coming, and Jesus reveals himself to her as the messiah. This is the first person he told he was the Messiah.

=John 4:1-42=

Verses 1-42 in Chapter 4 of John seems to point out a simple outline of evangelism through the example of Jesus. Jesus has a definite direction toward which he influences this dialogue between himself and the Samaritan woman. First of all, by asking for water, he engages in a conversation based on the context and circumstances of the moment. In asking for a drink of water at a well, Jesus mirrors scenarios seen in Genesis 24, 1 Samuel 9:11, and 1 Kings 17:10. The prophet Elijah also asked for a drink of water from the widow Zarephath while at at a well (1 Kings 17:10). After establishing the event as biblical, Jesus begins to talk with the woman. The odd part of this action is the woman's status. She is not only a woman (a widow, or divorcee), but a Samaritan, a people which were generally looked down by the Jews as apostates and outcasts. Jesus not only engages in conversation, but directs the topic toward spiritual matters, which serve as. His direction is immediately shown by the mention of God and the metaphor of "living water" (v. 10). Jesus offers a source of refreshment, life-giving water (the woman takes to mean literal flowing water). The significance of living-water offered by Jesus is not obvious to the woman, she does not think of something more than physical water even after Jesus mentions in (v.10) 'the gift of God.' Third, Jesus tells her what he has to give her (v. 14), explained by the living water metaphor (wisdom) which leads to eternal life.

After a conversation about the differences in worship, Jesus points the woman the idea of one truth. The author of the gospel is directly contrasting the earlier conversation with Nicodemus with Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well. Irony, interestingly, plays a role as a Samaritan woman grasps who and what Jesus is while 'the learned teacher of Israel' is unable to do this. Living in a world full of pluralism, she seems to ask which way is the correct way to worship. Jesus points out that her people by rejecting the prophets cannot know the way, but the Jews (who refused to live it) at least had preserved the wisdom that the prophets spoke. Salvation come from the Southern Kingdom of Judah.

Lastly, Jesus reveals himself as The Way, or The Messiah. This declaration is astounding. He finds a poor woman among outcasts who has a hunger to know God and he reveals himself to her first. That's why the poor are said to be rich in faith.

There is also some controversy as to who the Samaritan woman was. The traditional reading of this text seems to be that the Samaritan woman was some sort of harlot, yet such was not necessarily the case. As was mentioned before, the possibility exists that she had been divorced or widowed. In the culture of Jesus' day the woman had no power over whether or not to divorce and it was always initiated by the husband. If this was the case it is possible that Jesus was questioning her inability to maintain a husband, which would be shameful. Also it could be that she had been widowed 5 times, which sounds absurd except for the fact that a story popular around that time outlined just such a scenario in which a woman was tormented by the deaths of multiple husbands. Yet the man she was presently with was not her husband. If she was living in adultery she would have been stoned by the Samaritans, so the only answer is that she was in a tryst with a single man.If read in this way it is possible that Jesus was actually sympathetic to her difficult past but not willing to overlook her current sinful state. Whatever the case may be it is clear that this line of questioning was intended to show that Jesus had a knowledge of the woman's situation and thus could speak to her directly. It might also have been a continuation of a motif found elsewhere in John as well as in the Synoptic gospels, that of Jesus conversing and spending time with people who were seen as unclean or sinful by society.

On a whole new level the Northern Kingdom with Samaria as its capital had become the center of Bull worship. Baal, the bull god's name means husband.

Jesus says go call your husband. This woman may have been involved in 5 previous Baal cults and was with her sixth. She seems to not see any condemnation of her marital state but instead, responds as  a sincere truth seeker and admits she is not happy with her current Baal cult. Then she asks isn't the El that you Jews worship in Jerusalem the same bull god that we worship on our mountain?

Jesus amazes her by saying they are both wrong. Yah is worshiped in spirit, not in rituals, in temples, on mountains, with sacraments, priests, priestesses, sacrifices, baptisms, ceremonies, tithes and offering etc. It takes place in secret in your closet. The kingdom comes without observation. You can't see it. You cannot go to it, it is in your heart.

The use of spirit here show the weakness of the Greek language. John 1:32 says, "I saw the spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him" refers to the angel. Worshiping in spirit means devoid of any externals.

The idea of evangelism is continued once the disciples return from their hunt for food. The Samaritan woman returns to her town and tells the people in the town about this man who knew her so well without ever having met her. This act adds to the process of evangelism because Jesus has inspired the woman to also assist in spreading this good news (v. 28-29). The disciples are then told that the "Fields are ripe for harvest," as Jesus instructs them to evangelize also (v. 35). He explains that "One sows and another reaps," thus sharing the concept that the laborers - such as the fathers of the religion - had already paved the way. Verses 39-42 explain the success of the evangelism in the numbers who believed. It is also important to not leave out verse 38 when analyzing these passages. Jesus states, "I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." (NAS) Some believe that Jesus was referencing his own labor. Predicting that it is He who has "labored" or better yet will sacrifice his life and that he has sent you, the believers, to "reap" the benefits of his life with out laboring. In other words, Jesus did the work, and the believers could reap the benefits. For instance look back at verse 36 "Already he who reaps is receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for life eternal; that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together." (NAS) Those who "reap" these benefits are promised eternal life so that he who sows, Jesus, and he who reaps, believers, will "rejoice together." (NAS)

The water and food metaphor are to show that though the flesh has needs, so does the spirit. The parallel between water and food are in turn Jesus' ways of showing eternal life and the yearning to serve God. The living water metaphor (see v. 10) shows the earthly mentality of the woman. Water was something which she had to work for through the flesh in order to get for the flesh. Jesus, however, gives her this water through his grace. This brings us back to John 1:14 which foreshadows this grace. Aside from grace, truth can be abrasive and hurtful. The combined effort of Jesus' grace and truth are found when Jesus knew the truth about the Samaritan woman, and did not condemn her, but rather guided her in graciousness.

This passage emphasizes some important messages in the form of women and the idea of cultural crossover. The fact that Jesus stops to talk with the Samaritan woman raises questions of Jesus' role and his mission. "In obvious respects it is parallel to the description of the Samaritan mission in Acts 8, which is an important transitional moment in the movement of the gospel preaching from Judaism to the broader world, (Smith 109). Furthermore, the author as well gives the woman justice by showing a breakthrough in understanding Jesus.   This contradicts Nicodemus who did not understand Jesus.

This passage shows that God is the God of all people and not just the Jews. When Jesus talks with the Samaritan woman and tells her that a time will come when it will not matter where people worship shows the reader that God loves all people and not just the Jews. Also, this passage is important because of Jesus breaking two cultural norms for that time by talking to a Samaritan who also happened to be a woman.

John 4:43-54
Faith in Chapter 4 When Christ returns to Galilee and meets the man whose son is dying, He remarks, "Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe." (Verse 48) The NIV translation seems to suggest that Galileans as a people struggle with faith, but the non-prejudicial allusion here could be that humanity as a whole struggles with the concept. Accuracy is also extremely important to this point, as 'you people' is one of the thousands of places in the Bible where precise translation is absolutely essential to the intended meaning of the text.

Jesus ministry thus far seems to have been the biggest benefit to the lower classes - to people who seem to have the biggest need. His previous miracles had been visible to minimal people - particularly the servants at the wedding in Cana. Even his conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well had been out of contextual norm due to His association with those viewed with a lesser tolerance. However, knowledge about His identity spreads already, as pointed out by verse 45, which says, “They had seen all that He had done in Jerusalem.” Jesus’ ministry turns now to others who have faith, such as the royal official in this section. Despite Jesus’ claim that the people will not believe “unless (they) see miraculous signs” (v 48), the royal official shows faith in Jesus simply by “begging him to come and heal his son” (v 47). The idea that a man would request Jesus to do something shows signs of faith that something good will come of His actions.

The Jewish Passover Feast (a festival) is mentioned in John 2:13 and 2:23. In 2:23 it is noted that "many people saw the miraculous signs he (Jesus) was doing and believed in his name". Most likely, people from Galilee followed him to Jerusalem after his miracle in Cana (John 2:1-11) and then returned to Cana after the Passover Feast, as mentioned later (John 4:45). After going through Samaria, Jesus returns to Galilee at the close of chapter 4 and it clearly states that they welcomed him on the basis that, "they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they had also been there(John 4:45)". There is harmony in chronology of events here.

Cookbook:Tava

| Pots and Pans

A tava, also thava, tawa, tawah, is a shallow frying pan used widely in South Asian cooking. It has no sides, and is sometimes slightly concave, much like a wok that is nearly flat. It is usually quite sturdy, often cast iron, as it must retain and spread the heat evenly.

It is very commonly used to make the many types of flatbread popular through South Asia, especially chapati or roti, as well as several other fried foods.

ASP.NET/Membership

= ASP.Net Membership Provider = As of ASP.Net Version 2.0 Microsoft has included a membership system, or Membership Provider, that can be easily integrated into any ASP.Net 2.0 web site that has a MSSql Database back-end. The new system is not limited to just logins but also integrates role based authentication, and profiles and takes away much of the hassle of having to create your own system to do the same thing.

= First Steps: Setting Up The Database = Since the new Membership system relies on a MSSql Database back-end the first step is to make the necessary additions/changes to your web.config file.

If you do not currently have a connection string entry to your MSSql database inside your web.config file please reference the ASP.Net Database section first before continuing on to this next step.

Assuming that you have your database connecting string properly entered into your web.config file we will now configure your database and add the appropriate tables, stored procedures, etc... that are required. Fortunately Microsoft makes this fairly painless by providing a tool that will do the job for us! The tool is called aspnet_regsql.exe and is found at the following path normally: C:\windows\microsoft.net\Framework\v2.0.xxxxx\aspnet_regsql.exe. After you start the ASP.Net SQL Server Setup Wizard click Next. Select the option Configure SQL Server for application services from the next page, then click Next. At this point the Wizard is asking you for the path/location of your MSSQL Database. In the Server box type in the full path to the MSSQL server that you are using. If the SQL server is located on the current machine then type localhost into the box. If your server is located on a remote machine then you will most likely have to enter in a SQL authentication, unless you are using Windows Authentication.

Once you have all of the authentication information entered and you have selected the database that you wish to use from the drop down list click Next. The next screen will simply give you a summary of the information you have selected showing you the name of the server and database that the Wizard will install the Membership schema information onto. Click Next to install the Schema into your database. If all goes well you should get a success screen and you may click Finish.

= Enabling Membership in Web.config = After the database schema has been updated the next step is to modify our Web.config file and enable the Membership Provider.

First open up your Web.config file. At the top of the page, or near the top, should be your Database Connection string that we entered in the Database section. Note the name that this connection has, such as LocalSqlServer, or whatever you have named it.

Inside the  section of the Web.config file we copy and paste the following piece of code:

Also inside the  section of your Web.config file you will need to change your Authentication entry to look like the following:

Assuming that your connection string is correct, that you installed the Membership Schema correct, and you copied, pasted, and modified the above code appropriately there shouldn't be much left before it will work. So let's save our Web.config file and test it out.

= Creating A New User = The best way to test our system is to try creating a user. Included in ASP.Net 2.0 are several Web Controls that should be in your Tool Box that are specifically designed for working with the Membership Provider. So let's make a new Web Form in the root directory of our website. Drag and drop and CreateUserWizard from the Tool Box onto your new page. Save the page and then click the preview page button/load the page by hand in your web browser, then try filling in all the fields and making a new user. If all goes as it should you should be displayed a User Created Successfully box in your browser.

=Logging in as Your New User= Now that we can make users let's try logging in as our user. In the Tool Box there is also a Login Control that we can drag and drop onto the same page we made earlier. We will also want to add a LoginName Control so that after we are logged in we can verify who we are logged in as. After you have added these controls to the page save the page and load it in your web browser once again. Using the login box try to login using the account you made earlier. If all goes well you should login and the LoginName Control will be displaying your user name.

=Overview Of Included Login/Authentication Related Controls= Login - Standard User name & Password login box. The Login Control is very customizable. When the login button is clicked the default action is to Post-Back the page and verify the users credentials. LoginView - Allows you to show different content in a part of the page based upon whether the user is logged in or not logged in. The LoginView can also be used to display different content to Users based upon the Roles they are in (whether the user has logged in or not). PasswordRecovery - Provides users access to recover their own passwords. Requires an answer to a password question. LoginStatus - Shows the currently status of the user. If the user is logged in then this control will display a Logout link. If the user is not logged in the this user will display a Login link. LoginName - Will display the user name of the currently logged in User. If no user is logged in then it will display nothing. CreateUserWizard - A wizard that helps you create a new user account. ChangePassword - Change password Control that allows users to change their own passwords, requires that you enter the old password.

Cookbook:Flatbread

| Bread

Flatbread is a type of bread that is cooked flat, typically on a flat pan or other flat surface. Flatbreads are featured in many different cuisines around the world, and can be made from a wide range of cereals and other starchy foods.

Some flatbreads are fermented before cooking (e.g., dosa), whilst others are just mixes of flour, water, and sometimes other ingredients (e.g., roti). The mixture can be a thin batter (e.g., appam) or a dough (e.g., pita).

Usually, flatbreads are cooked with a minimum of oil or fat in the pan, if any. This helps the flatbread to steam on the pan, rather than fry – the water in the batter or dough becomes steam and cooks the flatbread from the inside.

Flatbreads can be eaten by tearing off a piece to eat, by rolling up other food inside (e.g. masala dosa, döner kebab, burrito), or by folding around food. In many cultures, flatbreads are used as utensils, by tearing off a piece and using it like tweezers to pick up other food.

This cookbook has recipes for the following flatbreads:

 * Afghan bread – Afghan, from wheat
 * appam – South Asian, from rice, often with coconut, urad dal
 * batooru – Indian, from wheat
 * bhatoora – Indian, from wheat, with yoghurt
 * chapati (roti) – Indian, usually from wheat
 * dosa – Indian, from rice and ural dal
 * faina – Urugayan, from chickpea and wheat flour
 * flour tortilla – Mexican, from wheat
 * fry bread – Native American, from wheat
 * gözleme – Turkish
 * hard tack – from wheat
 * injera – Ethiopian, from teff
 * lepinja – Serbian
 * makki di roti (cornmeal roti) – Indian, from maize
 * maitorieska – Finnish, from barley
 * naan – Indian, from wheat
 * pancake – European, from wheat
 * papadum
 * pita – Middle Eastern, from wheat
 * ragi dosa – Indian, from millet and urad dal
 * shirmal – South Asian, from wheat, with milk
 * socca – European, from chickpeas
 * tortilla – Mexican, from maize

ASP.NET/About ASP.NET

= Development Tools = Many ASP.NET developers use Microsoft's Visual Studio to develop ASP.NET sites. But there are less expensive and free alternatives as well. Microsoft's Visual Web Developer Express Edition is free. Web Matrix is useful in that it also provides a simplified version of the Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft's web server. The version of IIS included with Web Matrix allows you to test locally hosted applications. Since January 2006 Microsoft has made available free Express Editions of Visual Studio, including Visual Web Developer, which uses the later ASP.NET 2.0, and also has the same local IIS (called Cassini). All require in addition the appropriate .NET framework also available from Microsoft, and for development the appropriate .NET framework SDK as well.

It is also possible to develop ASP.NET web applications using open source tools, or even simple text editors like Notepad.

= Hosting = While most ASP.NET web applications are hosted using Microsoft's IIS web server, the Mono Project provides a way to host ASP.NET projects on open source web servers such as Apache.

= Languages = An unusual feature of ASP.NET is that it supports more than one programming language. There is, in fact, no language called "ASP" but rather a programming platform. The two most popular languages for ASP.NET development are Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) and C# (pronounced "C sharp").

= Approaches to Coding = ASP.NET pages can include their VB.NET or C# code inline with the HTML/CSS. We will explore this method of creating ASP.NET pages first. But ASP.NET pages also offer the ability to greatly separate the logic of the web application from the presentation layer of the page. In this latter style, the C# or VB.NET code is kept in a separate file (called a "code-behind" file). Thus, ASP.NET pages using the code-behind method will actually contain two files: one a fairly traditional HTML file and a second file containing the bulk of the page logic.

A significant advantage of using code behind is that the code behind file must be pre-compiled. Pre-compiling the file allows it to execute faster and forces the person designing it to fix errors at compile-time, rather than run-time.

Miskito/Templates

Template basics
Some elementary instructions for using the course's templates are provided for authors/contributors here. For further information about templates in Wikibooks, see the general Help pages.

Templates without parameters
Some templates require that certain parameters be specified. Before discussing these, let us look at the simplest templates to use: those which have no parameters.

Such a template is placed on the page simply by enclosing the name of the template in double curly braces:

All the templates specially developed for this course have names beginning with Miskito/, so once we know that we can talk informally about those templates here by only mentioning the part after Miskito/. For example, when we say "Later" we are actually referring to the template whose name is Miskito/Later. Therefore we can say that the way to call up a Miskito course template is by writing the following:

Let's try one. If we place this on a page:

then this is what we shall get:

Notice that this is the template listed below (in the template index) as "Later".

One-parameter templates
However, most of the course's templates have at least one parameter. A parameter is like a field, a place where we specify "something" when calling up a template, and that "something" is then incorporated into the way the template shows. We'll start with templates that just have one such parameter. The syntax is then as follows:

Thus the parameter is placed after the name, with a pipe symbol (|) in between. An example of a template taking one parameter is "Review_head". This template places a title bar at the beginning of a review exercise. The parameter represents the instructions to appear at the top of the exercise; whatever we write in the parameter position will appear as the instruction. So for example we can write:

to produce:

or

to produce:

In this case the way the template is formatted can be improved to make it more legible and easier to edit, by inserting a line break after the separator for convenience, and another one before the closing curly braces, as follows (this will make no difference to the final appearance on the page):

We can leave a parameter blank (i.e. specify "nothing" for a parameter) by putting either a blank space or a line break in the position corresponding to that parameter. So if we don't want to include any instructions in this template we may write either:

or:

These both produce:

Parameters can have many different functions; these are specific to each template, as we shall now see.

Templates with two parameters
When a template has two parameters, these are also separated by a pipe symbol:

So for example:

specifies the "related" template, with "Contents" as first parameter and "Table of contents" as second parameter. Which gives this result:

Observe that this element says "Table of contents" (the second parameter) but has a link to the "Contents" page (actually "Miskito/Contents", but referred to as "Contents" for short) - the first parameter. Here are two more examples of templates with two parameters:

gives this result:

and

produces:

Templates with more than two parameters
Other templates work in the same way, but there are more parameters, each with a defined function. Let us take one example: the "lesson" template which is used to insert a new lesson in the table of contents in the following format:

This template has four parameters:

 * 1) lesson number
 * 2) lesson name
 * 3) translation of name
 * 4) list of sections

The example shown is written as follows:

Template limitations

 * 1) Apparently templates will not work properly if a parameter contains an equals sign. --A R King 08:38, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

ASP.NET/Examining The Page Structure

= Basic Page Structure = Besides the similarity that an ASP.NET page has with a standard HTML page you will notice a few extra features. The first of these is the first line of the page, which includes a "page directive" with three attributes:

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

If the page were coded in C#, the page directive would take this form:

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

Page directives are used to specify settings that affect the entire ASP.NET page. ASP.NET pages can be written in many different languages, so we must specify which is used for this page. The debug attribute tells the IIS webserver (or any other webserver capable of understanding it) to print debug information after the bottom of our page. The trace attribute tells IIS to print more detailed information about the execution of the page, including tracing variables. Page directives are included using special delimiters:

<%@ %>

The next thing you'll notice that sets this page apart from a regular HTML-based page is the script block immediately following the page directive:

' ASP.NET page code goes here Sub Page_Load

End Sub

While script blocks themselves are not uncommon in web pages, this one is unusual because it contains the attribute runat="server". This attribute is specific to ASP.NET and indicates that this script block will contain server-side code. Within the script block, we see a few examples of Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) code structures. The first is a comment. Comments in Visual Basic are prefixed by an apostrophe. Everything following the apostrophe will be ignored:

VB.NET

' this is a comment in VB.NET

C#

// this is a comment in C#

There is no multi-line comment delimiter in VB.NET. Each comment line must be prefixed with an apostrophe:

VB.NET

' this is a multiline comment ' in VB.NET

C#

/*       this is a multiline comment in C#   */ Beneath the first comment, we see the Page_Load method:

Sub Page_Load End Sub

Methods (also known as "subroutines", "subs", or "functions") are named blocks of code that can be executed by calling their name.

 * Subroutine - encapsulates code, but returns no value to the upstream caller.
 * Function - encapsulates code, can return a value to the upstream caller.

The Page_Load method is a special method that executes whenever the page is loaded in a browser. Because this method is executed every time the page is loaded, it is a useful place to define variables and start many processes. Within the Page_Load subroutine, we can see a VB.NET If/Then structure:

If Page.IsPostBack Then End If

In C#, it looks like this:

if (Page.IsPostback) { }

This conditional statement tests to see if the page is a "postback" page. We will discuss the postback mechanism in more detail later. For the time being, know that nothing in this block will execute the first time the page is loaded. But it will execute if a submit button on the page has been pressed.

Finally the script block concludes. Notice that all the code we've discussed so far happens before the opening HTML tag of the page. All of this code will be executed on the server before any of the page output is sent to the browser.

The only thing out of the ordinary in the body of the page is the form tag. Form tags are common in HTML, but this one contains the same runat="server" attribute that we saw in the script tag. This should be an indication to you that this tag, too, has a special significance in ASP.NET

= Defining & Displaying Variables =

Here's a fully functional ASP.NET page in both VB.NET and C#. It demonstrates a few concepts that we will discuss below: variable declaration, variable assignment, outputting variables, and using CSS to format output. Here it is in VB.NET:

<%@ Page Language="VB" trace="false" %> Sub Page_Load ' declare variables Dim strCarMake as String Dim strCarModel as String ' assign variables strCarMake = "Mini" strCarModel = "Cooper" ' set label text values lblCarMake.Text = strCarMake lblCarModel.Text = strCarModel If Page.IsPostBack ' postback code goes here End If  End Sub  .box001 { font-family: "trebuchet ms", verdana, sans-serif; }

And the same page in C#:

<%@ Page Language="C#" trace="false" %> void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){ // declare variables string strCarMake; string strCarModel; // assign variables strCarMake = "Mini"; strCarModel = "Cooper"; // set label text values lblCarMake.Text = strCarMake; lblCarModel.Text = strCarModel; if(Page.IsPostBack){ // postback code goes here }   }        .box001 { font-family: "trebuchet ms", verdana, sans-serif; }

Save this page on your server as variable_test.aspx and load it in your browser. You should see the following displayed:

Mini Cooper

That's a lot of code to print out two words, but it demonstrates some useful concepts. So let's take a closer look at it by examining each part separately. We'll begin with the Page_Load subroutine (or void method, in C# jargon). Three important things happen in that block. First we declare two variables. In VB.NET:

' declare variables Dim strCarMake as String Dim strCarModel as String

And in C#:

// declare variables string strCarMake; string strCarModel;

In VB.NET the keyword "Dim" is short for "Dimension." Using it indicates that we want to define the dimensions of a variable, which means we want to create a name for a variable and define its type. In C# we have to precede the name of the variable it's "type" (in our case - "string"), nothing else is needed (and don't forget semicolon at the end of the line). Our first variable is "strCarMake." Since we want to store text in this variable, we define it as a string (literally, a string of characters). We do the same for strCarModel. In both cases, we've chosen to prefix the variable name with a three-letter prefix indicating its type. So, when we see strCarMake in our code, we know that strCarMake should contain a string. This is a handy practice, but is not required (in C# it is, of course).

Declaring a variable means that memory is set aside for it and a name is associated with it so we can easily reference it later. But we still haven't put anything into our variables. In the next few lines we assign values to them. In VB.NET:

' assign variables strCarMake = "Mini" strCarModel = "Cooper"

And in C#:

// assign variables strCarMake = "Mini"; strCarModel = "Cooper";

The equals sign is, here as in most programming languages, known as the "assignment operator." So, until we say differently, strCarMake will contain the string "Mini" and strCarModel will contain the string "Cooper".

Now our variables are declared and assigned, but we need a way to display them on our page (this isn't always necessary, but it is in our example). An easy way to echo the contents of our variables to the screen is by associating them with labels. The following lines create two labels and assign their ".Text" attributes to be equal to our variables. The prefix "lbl" is short for "label" and is optional, but useful. VB.NET:

' set label text values lblCarMake.Text = strCarMake lblCarModel.Text = strCarModel

C#:

// set label text values lblCarMake.Text = strCarMake; lblCarModel.Text = strCarModel; Glance down into the body of the page, and you'll see where these labels are placed:

The above are examples of special HTML-ish tags called "ASP Controls." There are many types of ASP controls. This type is called a "label". Think of labels as simple placeholders which you can programatically control. The important thing to notice here is that the ID attribute of each label uses the same name we defined previously. When the ASP.NET engine sees a label control, it uses the ID attribute to decide what to do with the label (in this case, what text should go in it). We've already told it that lblCarMake should contain whatever strCarMake contains. So the first label becomes "Mini". We've also told it that lblCarModel should contain whatever strCarModel contains. So the second label is replaced by the string "Cooper".

You'll notice that our  has two other attributes. One is called RUNAT, which is set to "server". This is a required attribute that lets ASP.NET know to process the label. The other attribute is CSSCLASS. We can use this class to associate a CSS class with our label. The CSS for this page is defined inside the HTML header:

 .box001 { font-family: "trebuchet ms", verdana, sans-serif; }

While CSS is beyond the scope of this book, you can probably tell easily enough that the style named "box001" has an attribute called "font-family" which tells any CSS-capable browser to display anything associated with "box001" in "trebuchet ms" (if that's available on the system), or verdana (ditto), or whatever is defined as the system's generic sans-serif font (if neither of the previous two exist).

There are a few other things to notice about our example. First, looking back at the top of the page, notice that our postback block is empty, except for a comment. VB.NET:

If Page.IsPostBack ' postback code goes here End If

C#: if(Page.IsPostBack){ // postback code goes here }

For this page, everything happens on page load (which in C#, good coding habits require it to contain inside the parentheses the two parameters - "object sender, EventArgs e"). We don't even have a submit button on the page, so there's no way to post anything. We include the conditional statement just for completeness, in case we intend to expand the page later (which we will do).

In the body of the page, notice that our  tags are nested inside some special form tags which have the same RUNAT attribute:

It seems redundant that both the tag and the  tag both contain the RUNAT attribute. It is redundant. Get used to that, too.

= Examining the Output Page =

If you view the page above in your browser and then choose to view the page's source code there, you'll notice some things common to server-side scripting languages and a few things specific to ASP.NET. I've simplified the VALUE attribute of the INPUT tag for sake of formatting. Where you see "[...]" below there will be a long, incomprehensible string of characters:

 .box001 { font-family: "trebuchet ms", verdana, sans-serif; }       <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="[...]" /> Mini Cooper

A big perk, in terms of security and, for those proprietary projects, secrecy, is that server-side languages hide a lot of code from the browser. When a web browser requests a page from the web server, the server examines the page. If the server recognizes the page as one that needs to be processed by a server-side scripting engine, it hands the page off to that engine for processing. The processing engine (here, ASP.NET) does its work and hands the page back to the webserver, which, in turn hands off the finished product to the browser. The code you see above is all that the browser gets. Note that all the ASP.NET-specific code is gone, though there are some indications that this is an ASP.NET page.

Web servers usually decide which pages go with which sort of processing engines based on their file-name extensions. ASP.NET pages generally end in .aspx (though you can define most anything else by custom configurations of your web server). PHP pages end in .php. HTML pages generally end in .html or .htm.

Notice a few of the changes that happen once our page is processed. The <asp:label> tags have turned into ordinary  tags. Their CSSCLASS attributes have become simple CLASS attributes. Their ID attributes remain the same. And the mysterious RUNAT attribute disappears entirely. Our tag is still here, though its RUNAT attribute is gone and several other attributes, common to form tags, have emerged.

Interestingly, along with our  tags, a new tag has been added the form. Note that it's attribute is "hidden". Hidden input tags are used in web programming to carry the values of variables from one page to another. If this form contained a submit button, the values of our labels would be passed to the page defined in the tag's ACTION attribute via this tag's NAME and VALUE attributes. In many server-side programming languages, you have to code this feature in yourself. ASP.NET does it for you, if a bit cryptically.

ASP.NET/Your First Page

=Your First ASP.NET Page= No programming book is complete without a Hello World example as the first project/example.

In ASP.NET creating a quick Hello World example is painless and easy. At the same time we are going to explore the structure of a basic ASP.NET page.

Let's look at the basic structure of an ASP.NET page. Doing so will give us a chance to introduce several important aspects relevant to coding ASP.NET pages.

VB.NET

<%@ Page Language="VB" %> ' ASP.NET page code goes here Sub Page_Load 'On Page Load Run this code End Sub

C#

<%@ Page Language="C#" debug="true" trace="false"%> // ASP.NET page code goes here void Page_Load { //On Page Load Run this Code }

As you can see, an ASP.NET page has a lot in common with a regular HTML-based page. Now in order to make our Hello World example we just need to add one line of code to the above examples.

VB.Net Sub Page_Load 'On Page Load Run this code Response.Write ("Hello World") End Sub

C# void Page_Load { //On Page Load Run this Code Response.Write("Hello World"); }

Copy the original code into a new file with the extension aspx. Then make the above modification. When the file is run, assuming it is being hosted on an ASP.NET compatible web server, you will see the words Hello World on your web browser when you access the page.

Miskito/Introduction

Welcome to Miskitu Aisas!

Miskitu Aisas! ("Speak Miskito!"), a language course in Wikibooks, is an elementary introduction to the Miskito language, spoken in parts of Nicaragua and Honduras. The course focuses primarily on presenting the grammar basics through carefully graded and didactically presented lessons. Miskitu Aisas! assumes no prior knowledge of the language and no specialised knowledge of linguistics, although at least a general background in "school grammar" will no doubt be helpful, as will any previous experience at learning foreign languages.

As well as an understanding of the language's overall structure, Miskitu Aisas! will also provide you with a knowledge of some basic vocabulary, and will give you the essential preparation needed to continue studying Miskito by other means, if you should wish to do so. A variety of exercises at every step in the learning path will help you gradually to assimilate both grammar and vocabulary, and to check your progress through comparison of the answers provided. A handy feature that makes this on-line course more interactive is found in the Show/Hide toggle switches that accompany model sentences, exercises and vocabularies. These allow you to customise each page and adapt it to your progress and learning pace by either displaying or concealing translations, answers and meanings.

In the rest of this introduction you can read about who the Miskito people are and what their language is, and how to use this course, as well as quick links to some key pages in the course.

The Miskito people and their language

The Miskito people inhabit an area along the Caribbean (Atlantic) coast of Central America. This area, known as the Mosquito Coast, is mostly within the state of Nicaragua, with a northern section in a neighbouring region of Honduras. The territory extends from Cape Cameron in the north to Río Grande in the south. In origin the Miskitos were a local indigenous people, but in the post-colonial era a great deal of racial mixing occurred. A major component of the present population is descended from escaped slaves from other areas who sought refuge among the Miskito people.

Because of the inaccessibility of the Miskitos' territory, Spanish settlers did not begin to arrive until 1787 and even after this the Miskitos, who already had an experienced army and an established political structure, continued to dominate the land, which consequently suffered only limited influence from the Spanish conquest. The Miskitos remained independent until 1894 when their land became part of Nicaragua, but the Nicaraguans, like the Spanish before them, exercised little control and many Miskitos, even today, do not consider themselves Nicaraguan. On the other hand, the Miskito people entered into contact with British colonists as early as the beginning of the seventeenth century, and during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries they continued to be influenced by the British, who had economic interests in the area, particularly in the territory of Belize to the northwest (the colonial name for which was British Honduras). As allies of the British the Miskitos were sucked into the slave trade, often being involved in raids against Spanish settlements in Honduras. Such activities brought the Miskitos into contact with other indigenous groups, to whom the Miskitos tended to consider themselves culturally superior. The Miskitos were ruled by their own kings who took on English names (the earliest recorded king, named Oldman, received an audience with king Charles I), and emulated European dress. Following a formal Treaty of Friendship and Alliance between the Miskitos and Britain in 1740, the Miskito Nation was formally a British protectorate until 1787, and British interest in the region continued until the mid-nineteenth century.

In addition to the Miskitos' native language, Miskito, large numbers of Miskitos speak other languages, particularly Miskito Creole English (which arose through contact with the British), neighbouring indigenous languages such as Rama, and Spanish.

With nearly 200,000 speakers, Miskito is the most widely spoken of a family of languages of Nicaragua and Honduras that has come to be known as Misumalpan. This name is formed from parts of the names of the family's subgroups: MIskito, SUmo, MAtagaLPAN. Although some aspects of the internal family tree within this family are uncertain, it is clear that Miskito stands apart from Sumo and Matagalpan, which seem to share a common lower node, and that in the past Miskito was heavily influenced by other Misumalpan languages. Sumo is thought to have been dominant in the area before the period of Miskito ascendancy. Today the relationship has been reversed: many former Sumo speakers have shifted to Miskito, which has in turn heavily influenced the Sumo dialects. Several of these (Tawahka, Panamahka and Tuahka) constitute the Mayangna sub-branch of Sumo, while the Ulwa language is in another sub-branch. The Matagalpan branch of Misumalpan contains two languages that are now extinct: Matagalpa and Cacaopera. The latter was formerly spoken in parts of eastern El Salvador.

In addition to many elements borrowed from other Misumalpan languages, Miskito has a large number of loanwords from English via Creole, such as those in the table on the left. All the above words occur in the first ten lessons of Miskitu Aisas! Notice how their sounds are adapted to the Miskito language, which only has three vowels: a, i, u.

Even though Spanish is the official language of Nicaragua and Honduras, its influence on Miskito is much more recent and hence more superficial.

Contents and navigation
There are basically two ways to move around inside this course: (1) use the Table of Contents, or (2) move from page to page using the navigation links.

The table of contents
You can get to the table of contents from the course's front page, and also from any other page in the course through a navigation link (see below). You can look at the table of contents right now, if you wish. You are recommended to open it up in a separate browser window so that you can continue reading this page while you inspect the table of contents.

Every page that you need to see as part of the course has a link from the table of contents. Notice how the table of contents page is organised. On the right-hand side there is a list with a darker background, with the heading "The project" at the top. This section has information about the project of creating this course which may or may not interest you as a user (rather than an author) of the course. A little lower down you see another section, "Author's workbench", which contains more technical information that is important for people working on development of the course, but probably unnecessary for other readers. The rest of the table of contents, with a paler blue background, includes everything that people using the course to learn (or learn about) Miskito will need. This is also divided into several sections which will now be mentioned.

The "Getting started" section is where you are now, and as well as this introduction it also includes a guide to pronouncing and spelling the language. These are the pages you will probably want to have at least a quick look at before starting on the lessons. You can always come back to them later on for more detailed study whenever you feel the need.

Next comes the biggest and most important section, "The lessons". The links to the first ten lessons are placed where you can't miss them: in the middle of the screen, immediately after the "Getting started" section. When you get through those, you can scroll down a little to see the rest of the lessons currently available.

Near the bottom of the table of contents there are two more sections: "Reference section" (with vocabularies, appendices, a list of abbreviations and a subject index) and "More about Miskito" (an external links page and a discussion page).

Page-to-page navigation
At the top of every page in the course you will see the flag of the historical Miskito Nation, which is the logo of the course, together with the title of the page or lesson. Notice the three links to the left of the flag logo:

 * a "backwards" link which will usually take you to the previous page (assuming you are following the pages of the course in order)
 * a "forwards" link (marked >Next) which takes you to the next page in order
 * a "Contents" link, which takes you back to the table of contents from any page in the course

You can use these to get around the course. If the "backwards" or "forwards" link takes you where you want to go, you are there with one click. If not, you can go to the table of contents and from there to wherever you want (two clicks away!).

Notice too that there are some links over the vocabulary lists in each lesson providing short cuts to the general vocabularies, the list of abbreviations and the subject index. These will often help you to look up things that you can't remember and are not in the lesson's vocabulary list.

Structure of the course
If you are a new user of this course, it would be a good idea to open up Lesson 1 (or any other lesson, if you prefer) in a separate browser window so that you can examine it while reading the following description.

Each lesson consists of several learning points, which form the main part of the lesson. At the end of the lesson there is a final section containing a list of the new words in the lesson (the Vocabulary) and a practice activity (a review exercise or a reading). At the beginning of the lesson the table of contents lists the learning points.

Each learning point consists of three components: (1) model sentences, (2) comments and (3) a short practice activity or exercise. Different people learn in different ways, so it is up to each learner to decide exactly how to use these. If we think of the comments as "rules", then the model sentences act as "examples" to illustrate them. Some people like to study the examples first and read the rules afterwards. If you are able to infer the rule from the model sentences, then the comment will serve to confirm your hypothesis, if it was right, or correct it, if it wasn't. If you follow this procedure, you will probably want to look at the translations of the model sentences, unless you can guess them, by clicking on the "Show" switch on the right.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to work from rules to examples, then leave the translations hidden at first. After reading the comments, see if you can work out what the examples mean before looking up their meanings. You may like to consult the vocabulary at the end of the lesson as you do this; it will give you a better chance of getting them right.

Don't skip the practice activity. You can use it to check whether you understand the point, to test yourself, or to get accustomed to the mechanisms of the language. The exercises will also help you to acquire the vocabulary. Always try the exercise with the answers hidden first before clicking on "Show" to see if you were right.

When you come to the vocabulary list, if you have already worked through the preceding points and gone through the model sentences and exercises you should already know most of the words on the list by now. In fact, you can easily give yourself a vocabulary test, since the meaning of each word will not be visible until you click on the corresponding "Show" button.

The exercise or reading that follows the vocabulary will touch on several of the points you have studied in the lesson and also reviews both old and new vocabulary items. Once again, hide or display the answers as it suits you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Kyalami. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Kyalami~enwikibooks that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * You should sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox.
 * If you're a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI to bring the material over in compliance with the GFDL.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Staff Lounge with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to maintain a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you want to ask a question, visit the Study help desk, the Staff lounge, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be an idea if you add this page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there.

Good luck! -- Herby talk thyme 13:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
