I have an android streaming client application which uses Java and cpp code. I want to port my application to Roku. I understand that Roku recommends only BrightScript for apps development.
1) According to this link (C/C++ development in Roku), gaming application can be written in cpp using marmalade and compiled for Roku.
2) But this link (How feasible is Roku app development with Marmalade?) clearly says marmalade can not be used for streaming application.
3) My questions are
(A) Is it possible to compile cpp for for roku?
(B) Where can I find the toolchain for building?
(C) If UI is developed using BrightScript, how can I call cpp functions from it?
You can't. Not independently from Roku Inc anyway - you will need a very close collaboration from them, which means you should be able to persuade their business development/partners department you are worth time and money. In other words, your company better be a household name.
You cannot "find" the C toolchain, it may only be bestowed to you by the Co on individual basis, after approval and under NDA.
If you don't have special relationship (project/contract) with Roku Inc, for non-games you can only develop in BrightScript. It's a mandate, not recommendation.
Specifically for your case, best option seems to be to use the already existing streaming formats/components the Roku API already provides. BrightScript is a script language, not fast enough to write a codec.
You have to use brightscript for Roku Streaming applications.

I am building a mobile dating app and plan to leverage google's cloud infrastructure.
I'm trying to figure out whether the entire application should live in a single GCP project or not.
On reading the best practices documentation I can see they advise the following naming convention:
[company tag]-[group tag]-[system name]-[environment (dev, test, uat, stage, prod)]
So should I split all the core components of the application between different projects? For example one for the data science matching algorithm (fizz-ds-matching-dev) and one for the android application? Or should I jam it all in one project?
Looking to follow best practices...
You're asking for some heat here. What to call things is probably as confrontational as asking vim or emacs!
As an employee of a large company where I oversee like 50 GCP projects my advice would be pick a naming scheme that lets your i-dont-have-time-for-this-kubernetes-gke-yaml-shit developer/pm/boss man find the project they want in 8 key presses or less.
A scheme which has worked well for me is: org-app-environment which is fairly close to what google recommends. I imagine your ops, so dont try to be clever with your naming scheme. Even though your users are dev, they're still users. If it takes them more than 5 seconds to find their project, they will do whatever the equivalent of an Arab spring is in the software world.
You need to find the nirvana of if the new guy is using this, is it easy to filter and find and is it quick to identify wtf is running there.
I recommend org-app-environment. Drop the org if you only have one, otherwise keep it.
Gods speed ops man.

I'm having some trouble starting out with PSP Homebrew. I purchased a PSP 1001 model and successfully hacked it, but I'm having some trouble getting some information about how to start out creating a custom homebrew app.
I want to create an app that mimics the 'TV-B-Gone' - essentially, it just goes through each of the codes for turning TV's off, or on, and throws the code out through the IR reciever on the 1000 model.
I've found information that you can use Javascript, but don't get any REAL native functions, Actionscript, Lua, and C/C++. I know C and C++, and both apparently offer the ability to access all aspects of the hardware.
I was wondering if anyone would have any advice on how to create a homebrew app. I've created some C++/C applications, but am I able to just put those onto my PSP, or is there a sdk or protocol I have to go through?
I've done some looking around, and all of the sites that people recommend are a couple of years old, and most are now owned by different people and don't offer the tutorials anymore.
Also, would anyone know how to code the transmission out through the IR transceiver on PSP?
Thanks a ton guys, I know this is an old topic that not many people are looking into currently, so any help is appreciated.
TL:DR - Does anyone know any good tutorials for starting PSP homebrew app creation in C++ or C, and does anyone know how to send a code out of the IR module on PSP 1000's in C++ or C?

I have created an app (some kind of "client" app) that will have a "bug report" feature. The feature consists with pure text area from which the text should be sent and saved to a text file on the free host. Is it possible? If so, which c++ library could give me such ability?
EDIT:
In my intentions it had to be a simple application that a user has on his own computer. After finding some bug in my app there should be the "bug report" feature that will allow him to send the data (pure text) to some place that only I could reach. I was just thinking about free hosting (because it's... free), and save the data into a text file there. I'm sorry if my question wasn't appropriate.
If your free hosting permits it (and you should check that) you might code a CGI program, or a fastCGI application. There are several C++ libraries which might help, like libcgicc etc.
If you can afford a web server, there exist C++ libraries providing HTTP service, in particular Wt or (in C) Onion etc.
You could also consider other technologies, like OpaLang or Ocsigen (but I would not recommend PHP, even if it is a lot used).
MAybe your hosting enable ssh so you could use scp ....
And if your application is free software (e.g. GPL licensed), several free software hosting (freecode, sourceforge, github, gitorious ...) may offer also a bug database facility.

I have had contact with Google Chromium Code and that’s terrific for building applications with. The problem now lies that no-one has tried to use it outside Google Chromium Project. What I have in mind is to develop an open source project which may be used for this purpose. The fundamental goals would be:
Guarantee Linux-Windows support for the same code.
Take advantage of all resources available like thread control, stats, unit test…
Make it clearer how to use Skia for graphic effects and customizations.
Present a useful application doing the most of this.
Integrate C++ and JavaScript code using V8
Use Webkit for rendering html content
There’s a chance of it get off the paper. What do YOU think?

Developer.
see https://github.com/lianliuwei/chromium_base
I create it for the same reason like you.
chromium is great project. It's code could be useful to using in other project. but It need time to extract it. I see one project to extract the ui part, but it change too many for noreason for example it change the .cc to .cpp. my project extract the base, ui, view part for the origin project, rm the ICU (it's so big) and gurl(you can add it quick) keep the gyp, gclient, grit-i18n, gtest, gmock... change the code little. and keep the extract history. I add a new type of messageloop for using it in the MFC(for company project :( ) now it can only work on Windows but it's no so hard to make it work on linux.(google do it all)
for use the browser in you project you can see the http://code.google.com/p/chromium/ for help.
It's great this project help you a litte. I at first think it's a no one care project.
I'm assuming you have looked at the extensively documented and developed QtWebkit and know why you don't want to use that?
I'm sure it will be easier to use V8 in a QtWebkit application than to somehow tear out Chromium's "View project".
Qt has the bonus that as long as you operate within the framework, everything will work on a lot of different platforms (more than Chomium now supports I think).

I have been working on a web services related project for about the last year. Our team found soapUI near the start of our project and we have been mostly(*) satisfied with it (the free version, that is).
My question is: are there other tools/clients/frameworks that you have used/currently use for web services testing and would recommend?
(*) There are some weird GUI glitches that appear once in a while. As is mentioned by some of the answers, we attributed this to a memory leak.
I use soapUI, and it's generally pretty good. Be aware that it seems to leak memory, and eventually it will no longer save your project, so save regularly!
This is about the only hassle I have with it (other than the general ugliness that almost every Java application has!), and I can't live without it.
There's an eclipse plugin that allows you to do web service discovery, testing, etc - see Eclipse Web Services Tools.
I think it's much better than SoapUI, at least on Mac OS X.
Call it laziness but I kind of gave up looking a while after I found SoapUI - its not perfect (what is) but it does its job very well (especially given the price).
More importantly given that there is scripting to allow you to set up automated tests we're heading towards an investment in the product.
Might be nice if it was better on Windows (we do .NET development, mostly ASP.NET) but for the price... (-:
I've released an open source project for generating web service requests and making calls.
Whether something is the best is pretty subjective but give the program a try and compare it for yourself
Download it at http://drexyia.github.io/WsdlUI/
We've been using SoapUI since 1.x (will soon be adopting 3.0 from 2.5.1) and are all happy.
It's much more stable when running with native LnF (File - Preferences - UI Settings - Native LF).
I know it's available as an Eclipse plugin as well, but last I tried I failed to find how to add JAR-files to it (i.e. bin/ext in the stand-alone variant).
