Adobe Cirrus can it be used for commercial use? - adobe

can anyone tell me for certain if are you allowed to use Adobe Cirrus service (p2p) in commercial applications or websites? for instance you have a online game.
all the threads and articles i have found are over 4years old (stating that) so was wondering if things had changed since then?

have done bit more digging the only thing i have found was on the Adobe Cirrus labs page:
What are my options to use RTMFP in my commercial application?
Developers can use Adobe Media Server to develop and deploy RTMFP
applications.

Is apiary.io available as non-hosted solution?

Can apiary.io be used as a purely private on-premise solution as opposed to a hosted solution that is offered?
Doesn't appear so. Here's the press release from Oracle regarding the acquisition of Apiary:
https://www.oracle.com/corporate/acquisitions/apiary/index.html
It states:
"Apiary’s pioneering APIFlow solution provides the framework and tools for developing application programming interfaces (APIs) that share enterprise services and data and help create modern, cloud-based applications and experiences."

write a skype plugin for this requirements

I'm starting some research on skype programming. Is there one technologie for skype plugins or are there multiple frameworks or apis?
I'd like to make a plugin where user from my database can communicate with each other (video, audio, chat) over skype without seeing each others' real skype id's - is it possible? (I guess yes, I tried skycandy a couple years ago and it was actually the same)
any hints for realization?
primary platform would be windows, but maybe android/ios as well (are mobile versions plugin enabled?)
Is skype a good choice for the requirements or is there a better solution for a small project without budget?
Skype offers an API for its Desktop clients, Desktop API and an SDK for you build your own client.
The Desktop API is in maintenance mode and doesn't support newer features in the client and has a number of known bugs.
SkypeKit is fully supported but doesn't currently support Multi Part Video, at the time of writing.
Neither of these technologies can be used on mobile devices, in the case of SkypeKit its specifically prohibited in the licence terms, and you may never obscure the sending or receiving parties Skype name as this is prohibited.

Alternative to 51degrees.mobi?

Since the mobile detection solution for ASP.NET 51degrees.mobi became commercial (the lite version isn't really useful anymore), I'm looking for an alternative solution.
Are there any other OpenSource or free projects, that enhance the detection of mobile devices with ASP.NET?
There is a free version of DeviceAtlas available for web developers who need an easy and reliable way to distinguish between mobile, tablet, desktop, TV etc. Also identifies OS and browser. It's available to your web application as a web service built on the DeviceAtlas Cloud infrastructure -
Completely free to use and available in Java .NET PHP Python Ruby
https://deviceatlas.com/blog/announcing-deviceatlas-cloud-free-version
Developers, hobbyists and micro-companies may find the free WURFL OnSite or Cloud offering sufficient for their needs.
WURFL Cloud: http://scientiamobile.com/wurflCloud/gettingStarted
WURFL OnSite: http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/dotnet_index.php
In free edition they allow any 2 free properties/capabilities which you can select like-
ux_full_desktop
is_wireless_device
is_tablet
brand_name
model_name
device_os
device_os_version
and many more...
This would help in getting just and much more required requesting device info. Hope this helps somebody in need.
Check out Apache DeviceMap for .NET: http://devicemap.apache.org
The best (and probably only) Open Source alternative that exists in that area.
After Apache showed too little interest in Mobile projects (there are only 2 active projects in this category, essentially all dominated by client-side Phonegap) especially on the server side, we put DeviceMap to rest in January 2017.
You can find the only true Open Source alternative in this field, free to use both for non-profit and commercial sites at OpenDDR.
WURFL should handle your needs: http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/

Books Regarding Flash Media Server development

What is the best book out there reagrding Flash Media Server development using flex 4/ Action script. There are many books or resources out there on Flex and action script but nothing specialized on Flash Media Server.
I have yet to find any good definitive guides out there.... I usually end up going and looking at the developer blogs of the Adobe staff at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/
Sorry.. not the answer you were looking for.

How do you load-test your ASP.NET applications?

I'm not sure where to start when it comes to load-testing ASP.NET applications. My team doesn't use VSTS so that option is out. Does anyone have any good suggestions or experience they can share?
I'ved used Microsoft's free Web Application Stress Tool. It lets you record a browsing session, then replay it using multiple clients.
It seems that Microsoft has pulled this application from the download center, but you can use this alternative download (it may require 7-Zip to unpack).
Red Gate Software has a product called ANTS that can be used to do this.

Using BrowserMob.com is quite cheap for what it provides. You can listen to an interview with the founder of Browser Mob on Startup Success Podcast #18.
You can use Grinder.
Its a nice Java Based Opensource tool, to load test webapps. Pretty lean as well.
