I am building a booking application which requires a calendar for each asset which can be booked for a given time slot. my aim is to assign a calendar to each resource and manage their availability, booking , conflict management.
is this possible? to create unlimited calendar with one account and name each calendar with resource?
how to go about the same?
Thanks

I'm not sure if you can create an unlimited calendar with one account. AFAIK, as stated in this tutorial it is possible for an "app to allow your users to schedule/reschedule Calendar events using one of your Google calendars, you I don’t need the users to authenticate themselves with Google.What you need to use is the Google Calendar API with a service account."
Try the suggestion in this forum, to enable your user to create an event to multiple calendar make your user's email as a value in the attendees this will make your authenticated user be able get the events to their own calendar.
You would create your own implementation for managing availability and conflict management.
Hope this helps.

I am building a platform using NextJS in which I need to grab my users' Google Calendar events and be able to add events to their calendars.
I have a service account set up and would like my service account to access my users' calendar data.
After researching, I have found that one way to do so is to have the user share their calendar manually with my service account.
However, I was wondering if there is a way for my users to be able to give my service account permission without having to do it manually, so for example, pressing a button on my platform that will let them share their calendar with the service account.
service account are intended for use with a calendar that you the developer control. Service accounts also only work with google calendar if you have a google workspace account. You will also need to use a google workspace domain account in order to set up domain wide delegation on your service account to use it with google calendar.
There is no way for a user to share a standard google calendar account with a service account. That was shut down by google a number of years ago. The only option now is domain wide delegation
That being said you will need to use Oauth2 to request consent of your users to access their google calendar accounts. Something like this would be a good place to start Node.js quickstart
Our current plan for Docusign for Salesforce is that we would have the Admin Support for sales to send out contracts for sales, is there a way to have the email to send as if it is from the account/opportunity owner in salesforce? Happy for it to go to the account manager to then sign.
you can achieve that through customization of your system or through the Apex Toolkit or an API call but the user would have to exist in Salesforce/DS - I would suggest the apex toolkit as it would be the easiest and more manageable solution.
As part of creating a service for syncing an internal application's calendar with Outlook Calendar (Exchange) I need a way to get all of the events from the calendars of a list of users. Through EWS I can get access to a user's calendar with their credentials but I won't have access to the password of the users I need to get the calendar's for. Is there any way to get at any user's data using admin credentials and that user's mail address?
Answering my own questions here but the answer is through impersonation. I had come across impersonation early but at first glance it wasn't what I was looking for but after reading more carefully it seems to be exactly what i need.
MSDN article on Impersonation
I'll have the server admin set up an account with impersonation permissions then connect to each account through their username/address and pull the calendar data I need with the GetUserAvailability method.
I have a SalesForce.com account that I use for demos. In many cases, I need the users (anyone on the web) to be able to browse the tables without making any changes.
Is there a way to make the tables public or create a guest account?
You can add a new user and create a special permission set to only allow read access. Dev orgs come with two users, but you can deactivate/re-activate users to get around the limit. Or ask SFDC support to add a few more users to your dev org.
There are several places User log-in time and date are logged so you can track them.

You can't ;)
Think about it, you can store usernames/passwords in your data objects and if they allow you to login and maintain a session for that user and use it to walk around apex pages and builtin forms why would you buy a salesforce license? You could operate a 1000 employees rig with just one administrative license and a site URL. For that reason salesforce does not allow you session control, it grants you one when you buy and expense a license.
For sites, you have to purchase either Customer Portal license or volume-based High Volume Customer Portal set and then use those to "promote" a contact into a login user with the above license. Then, when that user logs into site it has its own session.
This document http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Authenticating_Users_on_Force.com_Sites might be of great help.
This tutorial shows you how to authenticate users on Force.com Sites. It provides a description of Customer Portal, which is needed for the authentication, and shows you how to set up such a site and process to allow site visitors to become authenticated users.
The points on customer portal are correct, and you have to pay for these licences. If you build your own auth on Force.com Sites and salesforce.com finds out they'll be very unhappy. That said you can still do it using cookies (http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_classes_sites_cookie.htm) but it's not perfect because it's client-side.
I highly recommend that you steer clear of this approach though. You're better off building your UI layer on another platform (Google App Engine or Heroku) and using web services created on the Force.com platform through that UI.
