I just started developing a small app for Windows 10 universal.
And I am trying to use Cortana in it.
What I would like for a start is to have Cortana start my app when I say:
Hey Cortana start [myAppName]
It looks like this is not working by default, and I could not find any tutorial about that.
Any ideas what I should do ?
I did a tutorial on this with the Quick Start for UWP guide. You can take a look at it here:
http://microsoft.github.io/UWPQuickStart/docs/challenges/cortana-integration.html
If that's not enough to get you rolling, please let me know where you're running into issues and I'll see if I can help further.

Hope you are doing all ok.
I am new to programming and I've been messing around with some things: javascript in Google app script, some python lines too, and some basic SQL skills too. I managed to create a simple system for a nonprofit organization and now I would like to learn about Wordpress and how to connect a database (phpmyadmin from xampp) to my Wordpress Frankenstein. I managed to create a simple (VERY simple) site and I've been playing a while with xampp, but now i would like to:
1- send data to my database from my Wordpress site (I know how to build a form already).
2- send data from my database to my Wordpress site.
3- edit data stored in my database using a Wordpress form.
I know there are a LOT of things involved in my questions but I just want a... mmmmmm... starting point, maybe? what should I learn, read, study to accomplish this task?
Sorry if this question is too newbie or basic for some people here but as I said before: I am learning. I've been looking around for about one month but I really don't understand how it works.
Thanks a lot guys/girls for taking the time to read my question and, more important, thank you in advance for your advice.
A great way to start learning a language/how to achieve something is to either take a course on coursera/khan academy/youtube or google it!
A few quick resources I found:
1) Working with Databases in Wordpress
2)How to build a Wordpress Database Table
3)Beginners Wordpress Database Guide
Hope it was helpful!
PS:First Answer, if anything is wrong with this please let me know!
The situation each and every of us faced when we have been started !
Lets share my learning from that mistake with you.
Don't focus on too many thing.
First use WordPress and all popular plugins as user and try to understand how its work and what is the usability of the plugin.
try to read some guideline , Obviously w3 school.
If you are not good in PHP , Then try to learn PHP first. Then OOP in PHP from w3 school.
After that try to start developing a small plugin like "A plugin to print Sunshine after each content " or "A Plugin to extend Wp User Profile Info Like to add Facebook link or Twitter Link"
Both having proper tutorial. So check carefully from envato tutus.
Start learning by building things , Not like start learning by only reading. And thats the journey --- let me know if there I can help you in any way :)
Some more days ago I installed MEAN stack application on my system, but I haven't any idea for MEAN stack application. How do make a new website using this MEAN stack application in Windows 10?
First thing I would do is watch some tutorial videos on how to make an AngularJS website on youtube and follow along with what they do. This will give you a basic understanding of how a AngularJS website works. Then I would probably suggest googling for an open source meanJS site. I would probably use something like https://github.com/cornflourblue/mean-stack-registration-login-example set it up on my own server and play around with it. Learn what everything does and how it does it. Then as you deconstruct the site and learn, start to work on your own.
My goal is to write a desktop application created through Visual Studio which uses HTML5 and AngularJS to display a well put together front end to the user but which also allows for me to use VBscript so I can do read/write items, send things to the printer, and compose/send emails from their outlook automatically.
Can this be done and which options should I select when starting my project? I can not have this run through a traditional web browser since I am doing the above mentioned items which browsers won't let me do.
p.s. I just download VS 2015 community today. I have spent the day researching and finding lots of helpful information but nothing which answers this.
You don't need VBScript
You should check out Electron, with which you can develop desktop applications in Javascript / HTML5, and maybe, an AngularJS - Electron seed project to speed things up.
Now if you consider Electron, you can check out this answer about printing with Electron.
If you want to persist in this (which seems to be the best course of action in my opinion), you can find any informations about how to do this and that with electron by reading the docs, tutorials and basic google searches.
Don't hesitate to come back to SO if you have precise questions regarding code you already have.
Sometimes I am away from computer and have some spare time. I would love to do some programming just for fun or experiments. I can imagine something like a web site that can edit and execute JavaScript (or any other language is OK). But it must be ready for keayboardless tablet.
Unfortunately typing to google anything that contains JavaScript and IDE or Website, will give millions of links not suitable for this request. Hence I write here. This is not to start any flame or unproductive discussion. This is really the only option I can think of.
JSFiddle allows you to write HTML/JavaScript/CSS in one editor and immediately run it.
Take a look at TouchDevelop. It's developed by Microsoft Research and allows you to create apps on your iPad, Android device, etc...
i want to try learning GAEJ but i dont know where to start.. do i need to start learning java first? then xml and then proceed to GAEJ? or go straight for GAEJ w/o learning java and xml? any suggestion would be appreciated...
It depends on what you are doing. You actually don't need to know any Java at all to host an application on GAE. HTML and the Eclipse Plugin are good enough.
If you want to do more complex things, though such as using the Datastore or User Authentication, then I suggest learning Java. You can try to use GAE as an outlet to learn Java, i.e. learn them simultaneously.
I don't know if you've seen Google's getting started documentation yet, but it's got a great DIY tutorial for getting an app up and running.
You are going to be at a bit of a disadvantage if you don't know Java yet, but that's no reason not to dive right in to GAEJ -- just make sure you have the Java API handy to look things up as you go.
