Is there a difference in themes for the Magento Community, Professional and Enterprise editions? If I develop a theme and test it using the Community edition, will it work on the other commercially available editions?
Enterprise edition does come with it's own theme, but it is based on the Modern theme from Community. Your problem in developing it only on Community is that you won't be able to predict the layout/format of Enterprise only features such as Gift Cards, etc. You can make some reasonable assumptions, but no guarantees.
I would try to find an instance of EE that you can use to develop in, and then test in CE afterwards.
The system under the EE hood is the same that is in Magento 1.4 series and it will most definitely work to some level. What will not work and is used as default are the functionality that is not in CE edition.
They are not the same, and your theme will not work without modification in both editions. Aside from bonus features (which you won't have in community), many of the standard libraries in Magento are not in sync between the two versions, so there is a marked difference in the way that some functions are handled.
Agree w/ Jon that you need to find an EE instance to test on.
Your theme will mostly work on Enterprise and Pro editions, but there will be a lot of places with errors, lacking functionality and visual defects.
As a Magento Core developer I know the EE and Pro themes so I guarantee that :)

Can I distribute any Directx based application commercially? Do I need to get any permission from Microsoft? Actually I'm developing a software such like "Rendering Engine". But I don't know much about the EULA.
I also have the same issue with OPENGL and Metal.
Note: I'm not using Visual Studio for the development.
Can I distribute any Directx based application commercially?
Yes.
Do I need to get any permission from Microsoft?
No.
I also have the same issue with OpenGL and Metal.
It's not an issue at all. DirectX, OpenGL, Metal, and so on are merely APIs. For one it has been legally ruled out that the use of publicly documented APIs can be subjected to licensing. A particular implementation of an API may have licensing strings atteched to it. But just the interface itself, not so much.
As of writing this there's a lawsuit between Oracle and Google if independently reimplementing an API without permission is a copyright violation (in this case the Java runtime implemented in Android vs. the original Java runtime of the Sun/Oracle). But a lot of people agree, that it's probably not copyright-able.
As for APIs like DirectX, OpenGL, Metal and so on: There is a very stong interest for the creators of these APIs for them to be actually used. So there are no roalities attached to them.

I have a Windows Desktop application that is written in C++/MFC/COM technologies. This application relies heavily on CHTMLEditView (MSHTML Editing platform) and extensively uses IHTMLxxx COM interfaces.
It seems to be working fine on Windows 10 right now, but I want to know if MS will switch to EdgeHTML anytime soon. If that happens, will IHTMLxxx interfaces stop working with EdgeHTML?
I am not an official MS representative. But I may have some helpful insight.
Edge is a Universal Window App. As far as I know, this makes it generally inaccessible from COM, or even managed code (.NET). Consequently, you won't be able to use COM interfaces to interact with the underlying rendering engine (might be WebKit? I'm not sure).
On the other hand, IE uses the Trident rendering engine, which is completely built with COM. Trident is an integral part of the OS, so I really doubt it will go away anytime soon. It's used for so many UI parts (including Windows Explorer) that I don't think Microsoft will have a compelling reason to obsolete it, at least not for a long, long time.
And, there isn't really a good interoperability story at the level of COM for working with Edge. Universal Apps interoperate via contracts, and to some degree, URL protocol handlers, command line arguments, and other "safer" ways of isolating the app. I suspect that it won't be long before actual containerization technology is used for UWAs.
So, no, I wouldn't hold my breath on IHtmlXXX being implemented using EdgeHTML in any timeframe that could be useful for you. Stick with Trident. While Microsoft will probably make sure Edge has the very, very latest in web standards compliance, I don't think they will let IE languish so far behind that you find it unusable.

I am a software developer of having 3 year exp. in coldfusion.
May be this question is the most silliest one.
Is there is any future of coldfusion ?
Some points which force me to ask this Question
Very small developer community.
Coldfusion 10 looks not so impressive [Lots of performance related problem with this version]
only 1.1 % share of CF in web application.
Very expensive
I Just want to know the experience of different people about coldfusion future.
Is it a good decision to continue as coldfusion developer / should I start learning some other technology to secure my future.
Please share your opinion on this.
This isn't really a programming question. However:
1) Small Developer Community - True. But I think the community is pretty high quality.
2) I would like to hear more about what performance issues you are aware with ColdFusion 10. CF10 was mostly a rework of its internal deployment on Tomcat versus the antiquated JRUN server. I have heard about various bugs, but most haven't affected me to be honest and Adobe does have a patching mechanism built into CF now, but it still needs work.
3) I think you can see a very low share in many different languages that aren't the big 2: .NET/PHP. However, Adobe has reported that they've now recovered to 2008 sales levels for ColdFusion Server.
4) There are Open Source servers available in the form of Railo and Open Blue Dragon if the cost is an issue for you. Adobe also gives the developer edition of CF Server for free, and there are free licenses available for education/students as well.
Adobe has committed to regular release cycles and have committed releases/support for a number of years to come. But of course, that can change any time.
I think it would be best to learn another language, I would highly recommend learning JavaScript since it would be complementary to your ColdFusion skills and you could venture into back-end JavaScript programming using NodeJS
Here's an interesting article:
http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/1/16/what-if-cars-were-rented-like-we-hire-programmers.html
I think if you learn skills that can be applied to most languages, you will still be valuable as a developer and changing languages should mostly be a matter of symantics. I recently watched both a Java and C# web development presentation and I was really smiling at how similar the languages were to my current knowledge... they used classes, ORM, tests, etc and I could easily see myself transitioning to any of those languages given a bit of time.

I am finding a commercial C++ library that provides licensing API to use within my product. It should be:
Generate license based on hardware information (e.g MAC, hard disk...)
License could carry additional custom information
Provide both standalone mode and client/server mode
License for selected features ( my product has several features and I want to control issuing license for them separately)
Stable and cross-platform (Windows 32/64, Linux 32/64)
Good supporting service
I found a product of Nglogic: http://nglogic.com/products/LicenceLib/product_master that is pretty close matching to my requirements but I don't know anything about this company. If anyone have used it before, please give me your comments.
I welcome another suggestions. Thanks in advance.
We use LM-X License Manager by X-Formation. It provides all features that you list. Customer support is excellent with very fast response times.
I believe FlexNet Publisher (formerly FlexLM) would fit these criteria. They've been around for ages (10+ years) and are very widely used.

I'm looking for a C++ libraries that can work with Visual Studio 2008/2010, but not MS-SQL. Since MySql is the first database application that I used, it would be much helpful if it also can work with MySql. I had a bad experience with setting up MySqlConnector in Visual Studio. It was such a nightmare, it was so difficult to set up the environment. The reason that I like Visual Studio because of Visual Assist and ViEmu. I feel very unproductive without these two tools. So my priority will follow this order:
Update
0. Cross platform, not specific to Windows. ( I only like Visual Studio not MS )
1. Easy to set up with Visual Studio.
2. Has similar design to STL C++. I'm a fan of STL C++.
3. Light weight since I'm still a student, and I only want to experiment.
Thanks,
Chan
I think SQLite might be a good choice, it's massively supported with ADO.NET.
Read this post, it might give you few aspects on data access from C++.
Update
Read this post to have more on SQLite~C/C++ (no MS).
BTW, many big companies use SQLite.
I am not sure if it stays in the same criteria with MySql.
If MySQL is what you are familiar with, then perhaps you should use MySQL++. The FAQ section discusses using it on VC++.
It seems to fit all your requirements except possibly "Easy to set up with Visual Studio" since that is entirely subjective, but download the code - compile the code - link the code seems fairly straightforward to me.
MySQL's native client has a C API (and therefore easily usable from C++)
