My company wants users to be able to gather different documents from our website (for instance, manuals, installation instructions, etc) and put them all in one place (kind of like a shopping cart) to then print out all at once when their visit is over. Are there any applications that I can leverage to do this? We want something that's fairly plug-and-play because this is a late-stage requirement. I feel like I've come across something like this before but can't remember where.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
There should be scripts where it bunches all of the selected documents into a zipfile for you. I've seen it on Joomla sites where you select different modules you want to download and it puts it into one package. Sorry I can't help with actual code.
You say "shopping cart" but are users paying for these documents?
If so, you can outsource the downloads to a third party like PayPal to handle the digital downloads. PayPal API will let you handle a shopping cart.
If not, why not just have a link to a PDF on the document's description page? Then they can save, print, whatever. (My two cents, of course, but I don't see the big advantage to bundling a bunch of documents just to unbundle them on the other end.)

I'm very new in building web application using ember.js. I went through the ember.js official guide and found ember.js is very much interesting. I have learned the basic structure of ember.js. But I need a tutorial which will help me to go through building a complete web application using ember.js describing different part of its development process. That may be in document or video tutorial. Please help me to find out the best tutorial to learn ember.js.
You can find a lot of material on EmberWatch, I'd suggest starting with the one which considered to be the official guide by Tom Dale.
I think we are yet to discover complete Ember.js tutorial, nevertheless you can use these resources to help get you started.
I would definitely start with Official Guide
If you do not want to use Ember Data which is still in early stages you can read this blog
A lot of useful information have been presented on EmberCamp 2013

Is there any way to find out if I am within village/city or out the village/city using iOS SDK (geocoder information) or Overpass API for OSM?
I know there are commercially APIs providing this feature, but I am wondering if it exists any API or service for free? I am working on pseudo-navigation app and I need this info about my current location.
Edit: For now I am using geocoding - placemark info about location - if thouroughfare is null or some number (street or road No.) - I am out the town. If there is some 'string' - it is street name and I am in the city. But this approach is very inaccurate. I am also considering using Overpass API for Open Street Maps and I am wondering if OSM provides such information. Thanks for any sugestions.
Thank you
iOS location services provide information about the device's position, but not information about the context of the position, such as which city they are near and how close they are to it. Geographic data such as what you're interested in comes at a price, which is why there are commercial SDKs providing it.

I installed django-imagekit, which works well for me, but would like to implement user custom image-cropping (https://github.com/jonasundderwolf/django-image-cropping) which has integration with easy_thumbnails.
Which one is better to use for Django project to show images in different sizes? What are benefits and disadvantages of each?
All of these apps serve (slightly) different purposes so you can't really compare them. And if one is better than the other depends on your use case and is quite subjective which is not a good fit for SO.
easy_thumbnails helps you to quickly generate thumbnails. And of course you can specify the dimensions, scale images and even use PIL to do all kinds of processing (via Processors). If you "only" need thumbnails i'd say this is the way to go.
django-image-cropping lets you select a part of your image (crop) in the admin and helps you to display the cropped selection (using an easy_thumbnail thumbnail processor) across your page.
I haven't use ImageKit but it is advertised as follows:
ImageKit is a Django app that helps you to add variations of uploaded
images to your models. These variations are called “specs” and can
include things like different sizes.
So it seems to be similiar to easy_thumbnails as it also comes with Processors and the ability for thumbnail generation.
To me ImageKit seems to be the more powerful option if you need lots of image processing in the backend while the focus of easy_thumbnails seems to be quick generation of thumbnails.

Ok here it goes, hope this is an original idea. Scenario is this. I have hosted a personal website, which contains a wordpress blog as well. I have a windows mobile connected to internet via GPRS.
I want to write an application for my windows mobile, which would track my current GPS coordinates (I don't have GPS but have figured out a way to find out the coordinates), and upload them to my site, where I'd provide a web service which can get or set GPS coordinates. Then I want to display my current location in my blog (as a wordpress plugin) or in another page, where it talks with my web service again to obtain my latest GPS coordinates.
So am I reinventing the wheel or there's a complete solution available for me to achieve such a thing?
Any pointers please. It's not directly programming related, but it sure involves programming!!!
Sounds like Google Latitude.
There are quite few of these types of applications/systems.
I myself have written a similar system to try to recover my phone if it gets stolen.
On codeplex you can find This (not mine).

Where can I find a Qt tutorial in PDF format. I have looked all over google but can't find one. I need to be able to read it offline as I can't always be on the internet. Thanks!
If you're looking for a tutorial or a book, rather than QT docs have a look at this free ebook :
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4
The author has released the first edition with an open license. If you like it You can still buy the printed second edition in amazon.
There is no PDF directly from trolltech that I know of, but all of the docs are under
Qt\200x.xx\qt\doc\html
where 200x.xx represents the version of the Qt SDK. Mine is 2009.01 for example.
You could use one of many HTML to PDF converters to achieve what you're looking for.
You can actually use an html to pdf converter created with QT... http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
am i too late?
you can also use an html spider that downloads an entire website.
The second edition is also freely available (but only in HTML format):
C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4, second edition. Click the Sample Content tab to access them. The chapters are all there (but in the wrong order---however, the table of contents is listed at the bottom of the page so you can see the correct order). All the examples are available from the Downloads tab.
A more advanced book is also available (but it is not free): Advanced Qt Programming
