Silver Light Chat - silverlight-5.0

I want to build a chat system in Silver Light(Video, Audio both).Though I have experience of Asp.Net in C# using Sql Server. Since I am new to Silver Light, so I need some basic guidance related to it. Some good references , Latest version of Silver Light , or anything that may be helpful for me.
I want to integrate this chat in my Asp.Net Web Application. Should I create a new Silver Light Application in the existing solution. Read different articles, have a confusion that using WCF is neccessary ?
I need to accomplish the following :
Text chat, video calling , voice calling, saving chat , popup on user request, blocking a user, group chat.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you want to do a chat application, signalR is your best friend. Here is an article to get you started http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/619376/SignalR-with-Silverlight

Google Home API for going to a URL and login

I am a very new developer who can write basic HTML (yes I know it's English), and is looking for a solution to a problem that I basically invented.
I recently bought a product called Doorbird, a very cool and well engineered IP Doorbell. The reason I bought it, is because it has an App, and integrates with IP phones and support video, and has a few bells and whistles, if you're not familiar with this product, I highly recommend looking at it.
The "problem" is that it does not integrate with Google Home, or Amazon Echo. However, it does have an API that allows you to go to the URL, login and unlock the door. I was looking into creating my own action that would have the Google Home login to the Doorbell and go to the unlock URL.
My issue is, I have no experience with this, but I pick things up very quickly, and believe in myself!
I already looked at the api.ai site from Google, and have signed up. It looked simple, but upon further investigation looks very complicated.
If anyone would be able to point me in the right direction I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks in advance,

You need them to publish their REST api so that you can call the 'action' to unlock directly vs. having to go to a login page. You would probably set up oauth to have your server talk to theirs or use web headers. Ask their tech support if they support direct REST api using a security model.

Implementing Chat with us functionality in my Ruby on Rails website

I want to implement chat with functionality for my website. Not chat application which allows chatting among the users. User can chat to the website only. Exactly like Amcat livechat. How do I achieve this? Any suggestions please. I have googled a lot. But got only ideas and tutorials for chat application only.
Your best bet is probably to find an off-the-shelf solution that provides some kind of widget that you drop in to your site. Building this kind of thing yourself is usually a bad idea.

Connecting chrome plugin to Java code that calculates values gathered by the plugin

I have a very similar, yet more high level question to Connecting Google APIs to Chrome extension , meaning - how to connect a chrome plugin to a "java code" - i.e. an app that analyses information gathered by the plugin, then connects back to plugin with updated information, so that the plugin can display a relevant message?
I am completely new to any kind of development so please forgive me my question, I'm very embarrassed that I don't even know what to research! Can I think of this as a mini "web service" to understand how the two could communicate?
I'll be grateful for any nudge :(

Using this API, you can invoke an external program from a Chrome extension to pass data back and forth.

XMPP/Jabber on Django (chat server)

I'm looking to write a real time chat server in Django using XMPP/Jabber protocol (with mobile clients). Django will handle the user profile and inbox (non-real time part) through HTTP while the real time component should go through XMPP. I was wondering if anybody's had experience with this and could provide some tips, or if there is a better way to do this (Django + some other framework to handle XMPP maybe). Thanks in advance!
Writing an XMPP server more-or-less from scratch is a task of love that will take you quite a bit more effort to get right than you expect right now. Please look at this list to see if there's an existing project you could contribute to instead.
