Getting started (again) with DevForce - windows-store

Getting started again after some years of inactivity.
Is there a sample, or documentation to get started with DevForce 2012 Windows Store Apps?
Thanks

The DevForce Resource Center has all available resources for DevForce 2012. There is a simple "app tour" sample available here.

SnScrape not working. Says unable to find guest token

I've been using snscrape to scrape Tweets and it's been working fine for a month now. This morning I woke up and it's stopped. It says "unable to find guest token"
Did you happen to upgrade your Python version?
Snscrape will only work for 3.8. You need to use the developer version of Snscrape if you're working with a higher version of Python.
I have no experience whatsoever with the Twitter API, but last night a lot of third party Twitter apps stopped working. It sounds like the Twitter API is the culprit.
This may not be a software bug on your end.
Twitter API has now been closed to third party apps. This includes your application as well.

SignalR general questions

I have in fact couple question regarding that library, hopefully anyone to answer avoiding create separated topics. If that's not the place to ask let me know where please. Nevertheless i think your answer find other people to get knowledge as well because saw lot of confusions on internet regarding that staff.
Q's:
I see that current SignalR version is 2.2.3 however i cannot find any relase notes for that - only for 2.2.2, does somebody knows why?
Is there any risk updating from 2.2.1 to 2.2.3? I have such big appliation in my current version would all work as it was or is there
anything that has to be changed migrating to most recent version?
Is there any diffrence with SignalR, SignalR2 and SignalR ASP.NET? I am bit confused
Is SignalR also permitted to be developed in commercial use or do i need any specific license?
I've found lot of samples based on signalR howeever could you provide most up to date sample showing all recent feature from current
release.
Last question: Is there any significant change comparing version 2.2.1 and 2.2.3 especially related to async usage or it's more like almost the same creating server/client apps?
On this page i see nice tutorial how to use signalr, however is this page official always updating to the current signalr release?https://www.asp.net/signalr . Aksing because saw also github page any others. If not could you direct me to correct one please.
Is this sample up to date regarding new features?
There was chat saple available JabR if recall, is there still a working link to this sample?
As far as i was able to create some chat i wonder how JabR stores chat conversations history in the way that every client whom joined chat could see conversation which was done when he was not connected. In other words how to make every new joiner to chat to see all conversations already in chat by other users is this possible in signalR engine itself?
Many thanks to whoever answer.
I'm trying to answer your questions.
Already mentioned, only a single fix.
It worked for my application, can't really tell if it works for yours. More infos regarding the 2.2.2 release: https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/releases/tag/2.2.2
I'm not quite sure what you mean. But yes there were different versions of SignalR other the last years:
SignalR 1 (2012-2014)
SignalR 2 (2014-now | Current version: 2.2.3 | Github: https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR)
SignalR '3' (aka ASP.NET Core SignalR | Release: mid 2018 | Current pre version: 1.0.0-rc1-final | Github: https://github.com/aspnet/SignalR)
I guess, not that I'm aware of. See https://www.microsoft.com/web/webpi/eula/net_library_eula_ENU.htm (SignalR 2)
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/2.0.0/LICENSE.txt (SignalR 3)
Checkout the samples here: https://www.asp.net/signalr They all target SignalR 2 currently and will be updated as soon as ASP.NET Core 2.1 and SignalR '3' is released.
Don't know, I haven't changed anything in my code.
As already mentioned in 5., they will update the page as soon as ASP.NET Core 2.1 is released (see comment section in https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/05/07/asp-net-core-2-1-0-rc1-now-available/ )
I guess?
Do you mean this one: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/signalr/overview/getting-started/tutorial-getting-started-with-signalr ?
I'm not aware of a SignalR feature which stores messages. I think you have to implement this yourself.

Advice for Web Site Development (WinCE)

I need to set up a web server on WinCE (7.0) and the following are some of the features that I need to implement through this web site:
be able to update the device software (run an exe) and display output
start/end process
display the run-time of device
Should I use ASP or ISAPI on my web server on WinCE 7(WEC 7) platform? If you include some reasons for your response, it would be great.
I was planning on using ASP because of its simplicity compared to ISAPI; however, when I tested a simple Hello World(hello.asp) page on the device, it took around 30 seconds to load the page. For testing purposes, I am using Windows Virtual PC. So I am not sure what is causing it to be so slow. If you could please enlighten me on this topic too, it would be great.
I looked up ASP .NET Compact framework but I am concerned about performance again.
I am beginner on WinCE development and web development so any answers would be greatly appreciated.
If you need any other information to better answer the question, please let me know and I will provide it.
Classic ASP on CE is really, really limited. You're not going to be able to hit your targets without a custom COM control, which is not very fun to write or debug and it will have to be installed on the service device. Out of the two you've proposed, ISAPI is the only one that will reasonably do what you want.
It's a side note, but from experience I'd not use either due to the absolute pain of debugging either one. I'd use a separate commercial ASP.NET web server for Windows CE. Of course I created it, so I'm biased, but really, even creating your own port 80 server is going to be less painful than the piss-poor out-of-box offerings in CE.
I found out the problem with the slow loading ASP. It is an error with the WinCE 7 web server. Microsoft has released an update that fixes that problem.
Windows Embedded Compact 7 Monthly Update July 2011
So I think I will go ahead and use ASP. I'll see if I can add the features that I need to implement.

Is support for ASP.Net in mono being discontinued?

I was listening to a recent stack exchange podcast episode 11 and sometime during it Joel stated that ASP.Net was officially no longer supported by mono.
I've been looking around and haven't been able to find anything officially stating this.
Mailing list still seems active
XSP has commits as recent as July 6
Is asp.net support(or active core team development) actually stopping or was that statement inaccurate?
Perhaps this was related to Attachmate laying off all the Mono developers? Luckily that issue has been resolved.
ASP.NET is still actively developed, especially ASP.NET MVC 3. Don't know why Joel stated this.

Learning Windows Workflow Foundation 4, where to start?

I have been playing around with wf4 for a while. I found various articles, videos(channel 9), blog posts and sites about wf4, but couldn't able to organize it in a proper way.
I look forward to create a Learning Catalog for
Windows Workflow 4 with VS 2010 and IIS 7 (without AppFabric )
Windows Workflow 4 with VS 2010 and IIS 7 (with AppFabric)
Please help me to create it...
post your answers
where to start?
what to learn first?
must learn topics - in the order of importance
publishing as WCF Service
hosting
The Windows Workflow Foundation Developer Center is a good place to start.
And if you want to take a course go here (shameless self plug)
I recommend a great book by Bruce Bukovics "Pro WF" (rewritten for WF4). Also check Microsoft's Ron Jacobs online video series.
