What are some of the online resources you have found useful to learn about VxWorks?
Tornado II/VxWorks FAQ is a good source of basic information, related to the 5.x version of VxWorks.
VxWorks Cookbook also has some good stuff
VxWorks Usenet Group is good to see the sort of things that stump people
Collection of VxWorks tutorials links (not all of them are live)
This Google Search brings up a few links to online versions of the reference manuals.

Ok, I know I've asked this in the past (and can no longer find that question), and I know I personally have seen many useful articles, documentation and tutorials on how to do this - yet I can no longer find a single one of them on Google. So, please refrain from marking as a duplicate, unless it really does answer my question.
How can I create my own Windows Scripting Host Language? (I believe they're called "Engines"), and what tools and resources are available to aid in this journey? And is there more than one way to go about it, or are there different approaches that we can take to accomplish this?

Starters for implementation:

How is your organization benefiting from the usage of ARIS bpm designer tool (licensed version features)?
I see a few posts on this site related to modeling being done using ARIS Express free edition. But I am curious to know the added benefit apart from creating a solid repository and methodology for modelling information.
What are the tool's pro's and cons?
0xA3 might be right that this question is slightly off-topic here. Still, lets try to give a short answer:
Using a tool such as ARIS is not about just documenting your processes. This is just the first step. Take those models and analyse them. Try to reveal information, which you were not aware of before. There are many different techniques how to work with models, e.g. simulation and process cost calculation. Also, you can use ARIS' internal scripting engine to create your own custom analysis.
The point is not in just documenting, but on working with those models to solve problems.
May we invite you to post your question to ARIS Community and discuss it with other ARIS users?
Gobby/Sobby is an open source client/server for collaborative edition of plain text file (source code).
My question is 4-fold :
Can you share any real-life usage of Gobby/Sobby for development among a group of physically separated developers ?
Is the project mature enough as a productivity tool ?
What are the working use cases ?
What versions should be used ? (It seems 'undo' feature is not yet officially packaged)
Thanks
Jerome
Yes
Mostly, you encounter issues running Windows clients (random crashes). Find a version that works and stick to it.
I recently started using it with the team I manage. It has definitely increased my productivity when reviewing code, implementation collaboration, and answering general questions. It's great for those "hey, can you take a quick look a this?" questions.
We have only used development release 0.4.93.
I'm looking for some good tools that help to share tips, best practices, company standards, etc. amongs developers in my company. Two tools I'm currently considering are a wiki (screwturn wiki) or Sharepoint 2010. I'm wondering if there is something better suited to the task, or any input anyone has on this subject. I'd prefer something that's windows based (i.e. runs on IIS, can authenticate users against Active Directory etc) but I am open to anything.
Well, you're right, the most suitable computer tool is Wiki. There are many engines available. We use Atlassian Confluence. It is good to write down things that contains many formal details. Like client-server protocol description, or game-design / UI-design documents.
However for sharing tips, best-practices, interesting investigations etc no tool will overcome live talk! I've came to this conclusion for many times. Daily standups and pair programming lead to much much better information circulation than any computer-based tool I ever seen.
At my company we use a private MediaWiki installation. It works very well for our needs.
Publicly we share programming knowledge at DocForge.
I am currently working on a project which requires migration of content from different content management Systems to SharePoint. Are there any good, preferably open source, tools that would help me do this? Also, what are the best practices that I would have to keep in mind when it comes to such projects. One more thing that i would like to factor here is reusablity, because we might have to work on similar migration projects, from other Content Management systems in future.
You can check http://www.codeplex.com/SPMigration (open source, project started by a Microsoft consultant).
This framework gives you an importer tool, as well as some exporter example (FileSystem for example). You'll problably have to code your own exporter.
This MSDN blog also goes into some detail about the Migration API and may be useful as its generally very had to do this sort of thing without getting your hands dirty

Also, IMHO you shouldn't dismiss proprietary products as although they can be expensive they may save you considerable time and therefore cost if you have a large conversion project.

We have had good mileage from going to the nearest university and grabbing some IT students to do a manual migration.
The students like the extra cash and it is sometimes easier when the Information Architectures of the site changes between systems.
