I am currently in the process of trying to set up a freeboard and I was wondering if there were any plugins for better calendar integration.
MRD
As far as I know, there isn't any calendar plugin available to be downloaded and integrated to Freeboard. Since it doesn't work using database, you won't be able to connect the Freeboard to such applications.
They recommend you to develop your own plugin and widget, by following this quick and easy tutorial. I would recommend you to give it a look and maybe try it, since for now, unfortunately, there isn't such type of plugin available for integration.
Hope this clarifies!

I has created eshop in shopify and I want to add a functionality ( with the framework .net ) in shopify but I don't know how....
I searched on the internet but I didn't find anything just I found this link from the ShopifySharp github but I didn't understand how to use it.
Who can help me?

There are several possible ways to add functionalities to a Shopify shop depending on what you want to do.
They range from editing your shop's theme (mostly for simple needs) using html and/or js and/or and/or css and/or the liquid templating language (be careful though that any theme update may override your edits), to developing and hosting a custom app that would interact with your shop via a set of APIs (for more complex needs). Both techniques require a certain level of expertise (especially the later). See this very complete blog article for more info about how to build a Shopify app.
Basically you can build an app using any language and framework. The repo you found on Github looks like a C# SDK implementation of Shopify API. You are free to structure your app as you want provided you authenticate and communicate with Shopify using the possibilities offered by the API.
I'm looking to start a new WordPress API based project. I want to make sure I'm starting with the best tools at hand so that I'm not changing my mind half way through. What I want to know is; What is the best supported API framework for WordPress? What is the default API that comes as part of WordPress core and how does it compare to other WP API plugins.
I'm leaning towards the WP REST API however I would like to know if the XML-RPC interface 'WordPress API' would alternatively be the right way to go.
Any feedback would be great.
The official wordpress API is still under ongoing development. You can find the old legacy REST api here, which will work, but might be broken in the future: http://wp-api.org/index-deprecated.html
As for the new and improved version 2 found here http://v2.wp-api.org/ this is the version that will be supported and used in the future. I would recommend using this API, as there will most likely not be any huge breaking changes in the future, and this is being actively maintained and developed by a considerable amount of contributors.
There's still a lot missing from the official API, but they're working away on these issues as we speak. In it's current state, it's still quite powerful.
By default WordPress come with REST-API. If you don't want to use WordPress REST-API then You can use API-Framework and access the wordpress functions.
There are small api framework like slim api framework, fat-free api framework you can use for API's.
I found that most sample codes are read-only in the app, without post creation and response functionality.
I would like to create a mobile app (with titanium or phonegap) with post creation and response functionalities.
Any idea on how to implement it? Or any sample code that shows this functionality?
If you are enough skilled you can use Apppresser ( http://apppresser.com - https://wordpress.org/plugins/apppresser/).
It is a framework that allows you to build your app in wordpress and publish it through PhoneGap. It allows also to integrate and use many PhoneGap libraries.
I used it on couple of project and it is great, but again, you have to be quite skilled because it is a framework and not a visual builder.
They also have lots of video tutorial in documentation section that can make your life easier.
The framework is free but there are some useful paid add ons. For a blog app free framework has all you need.
Hope this helps!
Do anyone know if there's a way to programatically get the latest version of a Google hosted library?
The reason why I'm asking this is to use it in a template generator. IMHO, it's good to download latest library at the time the template is being applied to the project and it's slightly annoying having to update the repo just because the library released a new version.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't meant to always use the latest while your app is working. It's meant to always give you the latest version available at the time of coming up with your project.
Thanks! :)
If you use cdnjs: http://cdnjs.com/packages.json
Also available via HTTPS: https://cdnjs.com/packages.json
I couldn't find a suitable solution so I went out there and built one. Would you give CDN.io a go and share your thoughts?
Objective? Always have the latest reference to a CDN hosted library, programatically.
Why could this be useful? I.e., to be used in template generators. In that way we can always rest assured that the user will get the latest version of their CDNed library and we don't have to worry about updating helpers anymore.
Why did I even bother? Because CDN services don't offer an API to access their list of hosted libraries!
What if you don't want to use the Web Service? No problem, just use it as a library.
Thanks! :)

I'd like to learn how to create modules in drupal- modules which can interact with the user, database, assign permissions, views.
Is there any good video tutorial or a simple sample module which covers these things?
Thanks.
My suggestion would be to pick up a copy of Pro Drupal Development and start working your way through. I think that book is the best one stop option for providing an easy to follow, yet in depth start for learning Drupal development.
If you really wanted to get by without purchasing a book, I would suggest checking out the Lullabot site for whatever free content they have available.
After an initial background, the Drupal api pages should be helpful for you, . Hit the search box in the upper left hand corner for type ahead search to find detailed info on drupal functions. This would be a great resource for getting some more background on the functions googletorp listed. I agree with googletorp that those are a good list of functions to get started with.
It requires some effort to learn how to develop in Drupal. You might be able to find some good videos, but you will only really master this when you get your hands dirty and start coding.
How hard this will be for you, is also highly dependent on your background. A seasoned PHP developer wont find it that difficult to develop with Drupal.
There are some key points that you need to understand though.
The hook system. This is Drupal's way to do OOP. The idea is that modules or Drupal core can define and run hooks when an event happen that other modules want to react to. An example could be the creation of a user or the display of a node. To implement a hook, you simply create a function with the correct name. You need replace the "hook" in the name of the hook with your module name.
Drupal has a lot of API functions and it takes time to find them and learn how to use them. Take your time, as using the right API functions can make a big difference. Drupal has a nice API site
From your description you should take a look at these functions:
hook_user
hook_perms
hook_menu
db_query
In addition to what googletorp and mike munroe already said, check out the module developers guide on drupal.org. On the api site, check out the well documented example modules.
I have learnt drupal from beginner to advanced with CodeKarate. its one of the best website for drupal.

There is a very good, easy to follow tutorial on developing JQuery/Javascript modules on Drupal. Check it out as well.
