Scala FAQ: Can you share some examples of the Scala for loop syntax?

Sure. I'm going to start with a comparison to Java for loops, because that's what I was just thinking about.

In Java you might write a for loop like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  System.out.println(i);
}

The equivalent for loop in Scala looks like this:

for (i <- 1 to 10) {
  println(i)
}

(The use of parentheses isn't necessary in either example, but most for loops will be longer.)

Scala Actors FAQ: Can you share a Scala Akka Actors example/tutorial?

Sure. Most of the Scala Akka Actor tutorials I see jump right into the deep end, throwing you into some tough concepts right away. Personally I'm more into the "crawl before you walk approach", and to that end, here are some simple Akka Actor examples, of the "Hello, world" variety.

A simple Akka "Hello, world" example

My first Akka Actor example is about as simple as I can make it:

This page serves as an index to all of my Drupal module, form, and databases tutorials and examples. In an effort to help supplement the documentation on the Drupal.org website, over time I hope to have good examples for every Drupal module and form problem you'll run into.

Drupal 6 SQL insert FAQ: Can you share an example of how to write a Drupal 6 SQL insert statement?

There are at least two ways to write a SQL insert statement in Drupal 6, and I'll demonstrate both of those here.

A Drupal 6 SQL INSERT example using db_query

The first method involves writing an old-fashioned SQL INSERT statement with the Drupal 6 db_query function, like this:

This page is an index to the Unix and Linux command tutorials and examples we've created. We've found that while Unix and Linux are powerful operating systems, its cryptic commands can sometimes be hard to remember, so hopefully these "Learn Unix by Example" tutorials will help make your Unix and Linux life easier.

Linux commands, organized by category

To make it easier to find the Linux command tutorials you're looking for, we've broken them down into the following sections:
