I am pretty new to Sitecore SPEAK and i am looking for some of the basics to start with. Basics like even which version of Sitecore Supports SPEAK. I see that many places they mention that it is supported in 7.0 and few places say 7.1 version. I have a Sitecore 7.0 Version and when i open the Core database, i would like to know if i need to install any particular module as i dont see anything related to SPEAK.
This link is the sitecore's Official blog where they speak about it. But fail to mention the requirements.
Sitecore SPEAK Blog- Introduction
Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated
According to the release notes, the SPEAK UI framework was introduced in Sitecore 7.1. At least you need this version and the Sitecore Rocks Visual Studio plugin, as building SPEAK applications are not very handy to build within the Content Editor.
Here you find a summary of SPEAK documentations.
I would personally recommend to start with the blog post series from Martina Welander.
I recommend using the later versions of Sitecore 7.1 or preferably Sitecore 7.2. A lot of bugs have been fixed since the initial release of SPEAK.
I have two open source SPEAK applications, if you want to see examples of SPEAK applications are built.

I have also created Visual Studio 2013 Templates for creating blank Visual Studio Projects for SPEAK.

I am planning to migrate site core 6.5 to site core 8.1. So here i am using below dlls sample
Sitecore.nexus
Sitecore.NVelocity
Sitecore.Analytics
Sitecore.Marketing.Wildcards and etc.
While i am doing POC i got understand Sitecore.Marketing.Wildcards is changed because of vast changes in Rules Engine.I figured out by compile time errors in my code after code has setup with sitecore 8.1. So i planned for another work around.
My question is how can I find a way to discover deprecated or changed functions from one version to another version of site core migrations? I'm trying to fgire this out before I dive into development.
The best way is to go through the release notes and find what is changed.
https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore%20Experience%20Platform/Sitecore%2081/Sitecore%20Experience%20Platform%2081%20Initial%20Release/Release%20Notes
For example, on the release notes for Sitecore 8.1 on above link, you will find certain deprecated features, functionality, framework like SPEAK 1.1 framework etc. So with every release, some features or components may get deprecated and you need to fix the code break due to this.
Facing design issues in my application, I have installed Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 Vol 1 and Intersoft Webcombo.NET 3.0 SP3 Build 18 in my system, if I run the application getting design issues.
Example: I couldn't navigate into the tab.Currently I am using.NET 3.5 framework. Do I need to install any other later versions?
I assume the reason that you are having issues at design time is because there is an exception thrown in the designer for one of the controls though it would be best if you expanded on your question to include more details if this isn't the case.
For your specific question, do you want to install any later versions, that is up to you.
For resolving the design time issue, if it is caused by the Infragistics controls make sure that you have the exact version installed that you are using in the project so that the design assemblies are in your GAC. It is important that you have the correct service release installed. Also there are known issues using the .NET 1.x controls in .NET 2.0 or later at design time so you will want to make sure you are using the .NET 2.0 controls unless you are using Visual Studio 2003.
Please note that NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 1 has been retired since the spring of 2009 and wasn't tested with any version of Visual Studio later than 2005. The WebCombo was also retired in 2011 and was only ever supported in IE and Firefox when it was supporter. This control isn't expected to work in any modern browser and you should upgrade your application.
I've recently made a Windows Forms Application in VS 2010 Express. When running on my machine it works fine but on other machines it needs to install the .NET framework first. Is there anyway around this? By including the library in my executable? By not using the .NET framework?
I would really appreciate some help.
Typically this kind of problem would be handled by your Windows Forms Application's installation package.
Opinions vary but I'd suggest the safest/most polite thing to do is to treat .NET as a prerequisite. If .NET is not present, display a message that it is required before the install will succeed and perhaps point to a Microsoft download page like this one or this one. The risk is that you point them to an obsolete download page or that the page moves and invalidates your link.
That said, I would have expected most machines to have some version of the .NET Framework installed (by Windows Update for example) so it's a bit surprising that you're being told it needs to be installed.
I suggest you follow the instructions in How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed to check one of your failing machines to confirm that .NET is not installed (very unlikely) or to determine which version (or versions) of .NET is (are) installed.
Update 6/21/2015 From the comment below, we have evidence of two systems without .NET installed so my "very unlikely" comment above is a bit off base!
Update 7/4/2015 I have a bad habit of forgetting that not everyone configures their Windows systems exactly the same way I configure mine. From this blog post it seems that the .NET Framework is 'only' a Recommended Update.
What Installation package would you suggest for both IDE for C++ with CLang on Linux as of now 2013? Fresh Start.
I would want to test Modern C++ 11 feature complete syntax . Ease of installation of components is a concern. Console output is fine for now. GUI rendering is secondary.
1. IDE Graphical with the luxury of menus and panels
2. LLVM Clang tool chain
I am aware of SourceForge but I may not understand their summary and documentation to find what I want. A specific link on which I can click in a web page would be appreciated.
I tend to believe this is a rather ordinary question. Please tell me if it is not.
I want to experience the more expressive error messages with Clang. I am not concerned with MS Windows compatibilty.
Thanks for you suggestions.
I know coldfusion builder is released for developing coldfusion 9 applications. Now my question is whether coldfusion builder support COLDFUSION 8 development?
Great thanks.
You can change the ColdFusion version for code assist, etc in the preferences. Under ColdFusion > Editor Profiles > Editor > Code Assist.
The options are version 7 through 9.
I am sure it supports it, in that you can write code that works just fine. In fact, I have used it to develop CF7 code - you just need to be aware that by default the hinting and helping mechanisms will probably target the features of 9 and you might get some errors from that. At least in CFEclipse you can change the version you are targetting - I would imagine CFBuilder allows for the same thing, but alas, I don't have it handy to hunt for the setting.
Give the demo a shot and see what you think.
In case you work with visual studio code, it maybe is worth mentoning the newest version of the "coldfusion builder plugin" for visual studio code. It's free and from adobe and very useful. Just search for "ColdFusion" or "CFML" in your marketplace tab in VS Code. Also, there is a pre-release document / whitepaper about it.
