I have a web application with adobe flex 4.6 with php as backend. The application allows collaboration of multiple users. Currently, changes made by one user are reflected to the other users only on refresh. I have taken a look at Adobe's BlazeDS requiring a java backend. This would require me to change some of the php code to java code. Is this the right way to go about it or can anyone suggest a better framework which does a server push on db update rather than having to do a refresh everytime?

Am Exploring Amazon Honeycode Beta version for web/Mobile app development. Am able to develop an app in Amazon Honeycode Portal. Am trying to understand that is there any possibility to move the honeycode app to Android Play store or Amazon restrict only to Team members who has installed Honeycode app ?
You can invite users to the app however are you asking for an Android Native app?
It depends how easy it is to jump out of the walled garden. If your app is a fully fledged website then you're good to go directly to the app and use a thin wrapper like electron. However based on the documentation you're app is making api calls, the HoneyCode app is doing the heavy lifting for the frontend.
To build your own you would need a frontend to make the same api calls and render it.
The api only has two apis. Probably check if you can get the data you want working first before building the frontend.
Something like amplify handles the frontend better.
I just started learning Django and wanted to make an application with API (probably REST) endpoints so that other developers can use it as well (like GitHub API), and I could connect it to my react app and android app. I want my backend to be on a different server and do not want to build my react app integrated with Django backend using the REST Framework.
Can anyone just give me the general idea of what I need to do?
P.S. Sorry in advance if my question sounds silly, I am still new to backend.
Creating a Django REST API should be your first step. This is pretty simple if you already have a Django app running, and will allow your React app or Android app to connect and access data.
Authentication is a step beyond. You may want to look into implementing authentication on the server you will be hosting your back end on. You can also read through this article for some guidance on implementing auth on the DRF side.
Best of luck!
First off all you can start from this.

I want build site using Sitecore(7.2) and also make it offline. Our requirement is not to use headless CMS. Is there any way to build or make it offline?
Internet websites cannot be delivered 'offline' without having all possible data delivered to the device so that it no longer needs to connect to the internet. This sounds less like a website, and more like an app that somebody would install?
If so, you probably DO need to look at headless and building an app that connects to the APIs for updates.
You might need to be more specific about the business use case because it seems contradictory to want to use a web application software that delivers web content, without using headless, and works without the web.
As already suggested that internet websites cannot work offline so either you have an app or intranet website.
Considering as an app you can consume sitecore OData apis for Content/Media however it will not work for Presentations and you have to implement your own mobile designs based on Xamarin or native.
For odata related information you can refer below link:
https://doc.sitecore.com/developers/90/sitecore-experience-manager/en/the-odata-item-service.html
Once you get the response from api, you can locally store it in your local db of app
I am very new to SharePoint development as well as SharePoint overall, so I apologize if this question seems like a no-brainer. I'm currently working on a SharePoint 2013 app and I'm wondering if it's possible to make a call out to some URL from within the SharePoint environment. Basically, I want to do this within an event receiver after some action is done to a list, and from there I want to make a call to some web service on my server to update my system. Using the REST API to poll the SharePoint server isn't a good option for this scenario since it won't scale very well.
When dealing with SharePoint 2013 apps you can access any resource using standardized APIs. In addition to REST SharePoint is offering the JS Client Object Model (CSOM).
In order to access data from another web than the current one, your app needs the permission to interact with the entire tenant.
If you're trying to query data from another host, you have to use JSONP because of the same origin policy.
if you are building an app using the "new App Model" for wiring up Remote Event Receivers it is possible to do anything, in which your app hosting framework/environment allows you to. If you are building a Classic App (Farm Solutions) you'll have access to perform operations which are allowable from the SharePoint servers directly...typically this is a lot as GAC deployed assemblies are granted full trust.
depending on what you are trying to do and what kind of resources you app will consume. I'd consider moving the dependancies away from SharePoint and building using the new App Model versus the older farm solutions. As you sound like you are starting in SharePoint, this gives you an opportunity to learn the new ways of doing development for SharePoint.
Lastly, you might consider building a workflow. Not sure what kind of app you are building but the new workflow capabilities include actions which can make RESTful calls. Potentially making your application a "no code" solution. Again it all really depends.
According to my requirement I need to provide a communication between a Desktop application developed on C++(QT Framework) and Web application developing on Rails 3.
The requirement is, User can able to upload/download files from Desktop application to Rails application. These files I need to save in live database.
For this requirement, I'm planning to develop an API(Possibly Web Service). First of all is it possible to complete this requirement through Web Services using SOAP/WSDL/REST.
Please let me know the different ways to achieve this.
Thanks,
Kalyan
Rails provides a really nice way of developing an API with it's supported REST protocol. This way you can easy develop a web front end while essentially completing the API at the same time, this way your desktop application can communicate via the API.
As long as you keep your code DRY(Don't Repeat Yourself), your API can co-exist within your same web project. This way you don't have two separate code projects to maintain. This will help with consistency.
