I would like to build a Java EE server, that server many different kind of clients. Most of them are mobile clients, but there also can be a browser application.
I would like to choose between REST and SOAP web services. What do you think? Which is better for this approach? Which is more optimal. I would like to see pros/cons if you know.
What do you think about this?
I would use SOAP, because REST works only over HTTP, while SOAP can use HTTP,TCP, Named pipes, SMTP, MSMQ etc.

Does anyone know of any security libraries for ASP.NET web applications?
I am looking for libraries that provide basic authentication, logging into accounts, protection against SQL injection and cross-site scripting, input validation, encyrption and the like.
I have come across a library called Rhino Security. Does anyone know of any similar libraries?
Edit:
An example of another library is CryptoSharp http://www.9rays.net/Category/63-cryptosharp.aspx
Microsoft Enterprise Library: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff632023.aspx

I'm looking for web services which use GitHub's API to implement additional functionality missing the the GitHub.
Know only two of them:
CodeShelver — A service to bookmark repositories.
Calendar About Nothing — A motivating service which build a calendar of your commitment to opensource.
The question. Are there any other such services?
DocumentUp is a tool to help you build automatic documentation for your GitHub projects
GitHub Markdown Preview is a pretty useful little app to instantly preview what your GitHub flavored Markdown will look like.
Are those the type of things that you are looking for?

I am currently working on a webapp and am wondering about the trade-offs of using browserID vs OpenId.
It seems to me that many more users have accounts with google or facebook than with browserID, so it might be easier for them to login. On the other hand some people don't like logging in with their credentials on some other sites for privacy reasons.
The account creation / login flow in browserID is arguably more similar to the traditional username/password login so there might be a lower barrier to entry for some users.
In my first iteration, should I ditch everything and just use browserID? Use openID as well, or go all out and use all three methods of authentication straight away?

I have a website. I was wondering if Apple exposed its Game Center data via a web api. If would be cool if I could show users their Game Center info right in my website!
Let me know folks.
I think it may still be under NDA as I had to log on to look at the game center docs...
I did find a non apple site with a getting started pdf. it contains an interesting passage:
The data maintained by the Game Center
service should only be used to provide
the services and functionality
necessary for your application, and
may not be transferred or copied to
other services. For example, you may
not download Game Center leaderboard
data to post on your app website or to
another service.

Is anyone familiar with a service or open-source scripts that can import contacts from Gmail, Yahoo mail, AOL, Hotmail and other prominent webmail services? (Not plaxo, it has a problem in IE7)
If it's just a one off operation. Linkedn can, but I'm not sure if you could do anything useful afterwards with the list.
