AUTO IT

AutoIt is a free BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI and general scripting. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages (e.g. VBScript and SendKeys). AutoIt is very small, self-contained and runs on all versions of Windows out-of-the-box with no annoying “runtimes” required!

AutoIt is a stand-alone application with no external .dll files or registry entries required making it safe to use on Servers. Scripts can be compiled into stand-alone executable with Aut2Exe.

Also there is a combined COM and DLL version of AutoIt called AutoItX that allows to add the unique features of AutoIt to our favorite scripting or programming languages!

Features :

Basic-like Syntax and Rich Function Set
AutoIt has a BASIC-like syntax which means that most people who have ever written a script or used a high-level language should be able to pick it up easily.

Built-in Editor with Syntax Highlighting
AutoIt comes with a customized “lite” version of SciTe that makes editing scripts easy. Users can also download a complete version of SciTe that includes additional tools to make things even easier.

Standalone and Small
AutoIt is a very small and standalone application with no reliance on massive run times like .NET or VB. All you need to run AutoIt scripts are the main AutoIt executable (AutoIt3.exe) and the script. Scripts can also be encoded into standalone executable with the built-in script compiler Aut2Exe.

International and 64-bit Support
AutoIt is fully Unicode aware and also includes x64 versions of all the main components!

Key and Mouse Simulation
Much time has been spent optimizing the keystroke and mouse simulation functions to be as accurate as possible on all versions of Windows. All the mouse and keyboard routines are highly configurable both in terms of simulation “speed” and functionality.

Window Management
You can expect to move, hide, show, resize, activate, close and pretty much do what you want with windows. Windows can be referenced by title, text on the window, size, position, class and even internal Win32 API handles.

Controls
Directly get information on and interact with edit boxes, check boxes, list boxes, combos, buttons, status bars without the risk of keystrokes getting lost. Even work with controls in windows that aren’t active!

Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)
AutoIt provides facility to create some complex GUIs – just like those below :

Exploring Node.js Internals

I found a great article explaining Node JS internals, must read : https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/04/nodejs-internals/ Some other articles : Introduction to Node.js Being an official website, Node.dev explains what Node.js is, as well as its package managers, and lists web frameworks built on top of it. “ JavaScript & Node.js ”,  The Node Beginner Book This book by  Manuel Kiessling  does a fantastic job of explaining Node.js, after warning that JavaScript in the browser is not the same as the one in Node.js, even though both are written in the same language. Beginning Node.js This beginner book goes beyond an explanation of the runtime. It teaches about packages and streams and creating a web server with the Express framework. LibUV This is the official documentation of the supporting C++ code of the Node.js runtime. V8 This is the official documentation of the JavaScript engine that makes it possible to write Node.js with JavaScript.

Hibernate Object Conversations

Session methods to use for object conversations Save() A new instance being attached to the session. An insert will be scheduled. Update() Call Update to make a transient object persistent again. It will force a SQL update on the transient object. This is because Hibernate does not know whether the object is dirty or not and to be safe by default schedules an update. This method will throw an exception, if the entity is already registered with the session. - NonUniqueObjectException is thrown. saveOrUpdate() Either a save or an update will be called based on whether the identifier exists or not. No identifier - save is called, else update is called. Or for a better understanding, if the object is transient, then a save is called, if the object is persistent, then an update is called. Reattaching an unmodified instance - If you know for sure that an object is not modified and you just want to make it persistent again - Session.lock(item, LockMode.No
