Where to download nsrdb weather data - weather

I want to explore PVLib on nsrdb datasets, but I can't figure out where to download (or access) them.

NSRDB data can be downloaded manually from the NSRDB Viewer, or programmatically through their API using pvlib.iotools.get_psm3.

Content Management Api to POST media files from external source

I am looking for a solution in episerver to add media files from external sources into episerver.I am aware that episerver has recently released Episerver Content Management API to post contents within Episerver.Is it possible to use this for media files as well.As this is newly introduced in episerver, i cant find any references other than the documentation within epi which has more of CRUD operations on Content.Can someone please point out some reference links for me to get this started?
Any input is appreciated.
Regards,
The content management API is useful if you want to create a headless website that talks to Episerver via an API to get content.
Depending on what you want to use the media for will depend on the optimal approach. I assume you want the content editors to be able to pick these items from within the CMS? If so there are two main appraoches:
You could write a scheduled task using the content repository API to import the media into the Episerver media library
The other option is to create a content provider, so the media is available in the editor, read this to learn how to do it. This option is more fidley so I would go with option 1 if possible.
If you just want to render images on a web page, then call the API using AJAX. Job done!

How to embed excel worksheet in a webpage

I am working on a web application and one of the features I want to add to the application is working with excel within the web app...
the generic idea is basicly : there is an excel file sitting on a server and it can be displayed on the webpage.. people can edit the file and save it back to the server.. (it will have all of the functionality of Excel itself..)..
is there a way to embedd an excel file / any excel plugin exist? or maybe any alternative to excel that will give me the same functionality?
Thank you very much!
*Important - I want to be able to do that on a localhost without a thirdparty like skydrive/google docs or etc... i want their functionality but all within a local host.. (you can edit the sheet, post a save request and it will update the file residing in the server..)
You can use Google Docs. This article explains pretty well, at least, gives
a general idea.

How should images be saved using express? Database, or just file?

I am using basically the mean stack. I'm also using multer but I am trying to see what the best practices are. Using Angular I can upload photos fine and they are going to a folder on my file system. From here I can just view them. However I'm wondering what the best practices are. Should I save the image url to a database along with the size and other properties or should I just pull them from the client? I've seen some solutions but they were from about 2 years ago so I wanted to make sure I'm current.
I have used ng-file-upload upload on the angular part and Multer on the node.js part to handle images for my system.
The method is appropriate and you can go ahead without any doubt.
Most of the websites on the internet follow the same method, they save the images in the file disk system and then they save it's url in the respective database.
Using multer you can have all information required for a photo and the module is really flexible with a lot many options.
I think you should go ahead with what you have in mind. Best of luck.
You just save the image url from the directory, where image is stored. If you need any information, you can get the information from the image where image is stored (Get image from url). So just save image url into database.

store image in a folder form a list in silverlight

I want to store a image in to a folder which I have selected from a list in silverlight
In Silverlight you have only limited access to the file system for security reason.
So everything what you want to save would end up in IsolatedStorage...
Check out this Quickstart Video and let me know if it helps
http://www.silverlight.net/learn/quickstarts/isolatedstorage/
In Silverlight, You have limited access to the client file system. If you are running Out Of Browser application with elevated permission, you can access User folders (My documents in windows).
But you can try some workarounds like using JavaScript u can try to download file. For reference Download a picture OnClick
