To use google server - google-app-engine

I have a android game designed by me. I want to release it to play store and want to know the name, phone number, mail id and score of the highest scorer at the end of day. How to link the game to google server to make this happen?

This article is a good place to start:

It outlines everything you need to start work on a server-side to a mobile game, including high score tables.

Is there any ready Amazon MWS solution to put ASIN, Address, Box weight and get shipping label?

I'm a Amazon seller and sell dozens of different products.
Everyday I'm doing the same job: choose ASIN, send/replenish inventory, choose address, packing-type, quantity, box weight and dimensions, get UPS shipping label.
Trying to find some service to automate this process or maybe there is some ready script that I can give to my php developer and he could create this product.
By the way, I know about docs.mws .com and manuals (from 2009-2011).
Please advice
We were doing that manually at first, but a couple years ago, I created an application that uses the Fulfillment Inbound Shipment API. We pick the ASIN's, input weight/dimensions, get guidance, create shipping plans, shipments, download .pdf labels, everything from the API. There is a PHP client SDK that can help your developer get started very quickly.

Looking for a bill scanning OCR tool that I can build into a React Native App for an academic project. Any suggestions?

Hey I'm looking for a good ocr api/tool that I could build into my react-native app.
The tool should be able to scan bills and I want to retrieve the name of the place and the total price from the bill.Please help me out in finding a suitable tool or api.
I'm a college student so I'm not able to get my hands onto those commercials tools available online.
Thanks
I did something similar in this blog using React Native Text Detector hope this can help you. It reads the business card and returns all the text on it.
What you can do is to add Regular Expressions for detecting different attributes. Let's say billing amount will have currency logo before or after the text or for more accuracy add expected region where the billing amount should be. RNTextDetector also returns the bounding of the text on the image. There is also a mapping function that translates boundings on an image to boundings on screen for better user experience. This tutorial can be a good point to start from and then keep on adding things on top of it.

Email Response Program

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm pretty new to this, so forgive the newbyness.
I want to creat an auto response email based on what product my customer shows interest in. For example, if I fill out a form on a car dealership website for their Internet Pricing...I get an email telling me what that price is.
Right now when a customer fills out a form I receive an email as administrator that tells me the make, model and stock number.
I'm thinking I want to build a program that can recognize that stock number, affiliate it with a vehicle in a database along with the Internet price and return that value via an Email to the customer.
What direction should I go? Where should I start? Like I said I'm pretty new at this. I would maybe even be willing to hire this out if it's too overwhelming. Thank for the help!
Without any form of disrespect or anything - it probably is a wise idea to hire someone :)
you need to learn about databases, about using for example ASP.NET to develop the website, HTML/CSS for the layout of the website. you need to purchase products like Visual Studio which contains everything you need to start developing your idea/website and also the database engine like SQL Server. It really depends on what your current environment is like (i.e what database engine you are using) and what platform you want to use to develop your idea. This is pretty simple stuff from what you are describing to do but it sounds like you don't know how to start to develop simple code/software.... that's all. I am sure you can do it but requires a lot of training/teaching for you to "get there" :)

Where to get an updated list of video games?

I am currently designing a reviews site for video games similar to gamespot am wondering where and if there is an online database that contains information such as name, publisher, release date etc with an API. I dont really want to have to enter each title manually or let users enter the title manually.
Where do these large sites get information like this? I wouldn't think it would be manually. I know for movies IMDB exists.
How would I go about adding it to my database?
Thanks
May I point you to web scraping?
Be sure to read the section legal issues and on well-behaved bots.
There's always Amazon and their product advertising API. Some older, but interesting code snippets can be found on this page.
If you know Perl, there is an amzing module called WWW::Mechanize
Pretty much you can write a script to get to any website and grab any data you need.
So for example you can go to www.gamespot.com, get list like the one below and put them in your database.

Detecting home country of Windows Phone 7

Is there a way to programmatically find out what country a user's phone is from when my app is opened on their phone?
I have an app I'm developing that can use lbs/kg units and if someone's phone is from the United States, I want to enable lbs by default and if the phone is from anywhere else, I want to display kg by default. (note that I don't need think checking where they are connecting from would be accurate because it could be that they are travelling or using another country's proxy server).
You can't get the country, but you should be able to guess it from:
the Locale of the device - see How to get "region & language" settings in WP7 via code?
or from the TimeZone of the device - see TimeZoneInfo.Local - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timezoneinfo.local.aspx
Personally, I wouldn't worry about the travelling scenario - travelling Americans purchasing your app represents a very small percentage of your downloads.
You could also use the GPS to get their current position, then use the Bing API to get the country from the lat/long.
Using the GPS involves it's own headaches like adding a Privacy Policy, but from Stuart's answer, it seems like the most accurate way.
System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.DisplayName;
Why not just look at System.Globalization.RegionInfo.CurrentRegion.IsMetric?
There is an example here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/system.globalization.regioninfo.ismetric(v=vs.105).aspx
