are there any European alternatives for mobile Calabash tests in the cloud?
I only found the following US companies, which because of privacy concerns are no alternative for my current employer:
xamarin.com
appthwack.com
Thanks for your help!
I work at Xamarin on Xamarin Test Cloud. Presently the data center is located in Denmark although we're planning out multiple data centers.

I am working on a pet project mobile app. I am planning to use OrientDB in embedded mode with the app. Here are the questions i have:
Am i free to use OrientDB embedded in a mobile application? This application will be distributed for free to users on Android playstore.
Can the embedded OrientDB synchronise with Baasbox. At this point in time, the synchronization is only one; from mobile to the api server.
Please let me know. I am a noob with Graph databases in general.
Thanks

To answer to your questions:
Absolutely, OrientDB Community Edition is FREE for any usage (Apache2 License).
There is no off-line synchronization in OrientDB, so unless BaasBox implemented it, it's all up to you.
I am investigating the best route for me to push updates of my small WPF application to my end users using ClickOnce.
I have looked briefly at AppHarbour and see that ASP.NET MVC works straight out of the box. Has anyone tried with a WPF application, or if there is a slicker/easier/cheaper way for me to publish my app to clients from a Web location?
Also if above is achievable/feasible does anyone have any advice for slickest continuous integration techniques with this approach? i.e. set up 2 environments on AppHarbour, QA/Production, set a test environment at client site pointing to QA and a live deployment on client site pointing to live etc...?
I will be using the (currently) freebie version of VisualStudio.com TFS for source control. I know Azure does this, and is incredibly simple to use but I am a pauper and have no funds for this until I sell a few more sites!
Thanks
You can host your ClickOnce deployment in Azure blob storage. You can write a small program that will deploy it after you publish it locally, or push it up manually using something like Cerebrata tools. It's really, really inexpensive. This article explains how to do it, and this article talks about the cost. The second article has old Azure pricing; it's even cheaper now.
We are thinking to develop a Windows Application and are considering multiple options for that. One of my colleague suggested me to explore Adobe Air. I have a few queries that i would like the expert programmers' community to answer:
1. Can we develop a full fledged database driven GUI application in Adobe Air?
2. Which databases Adobe Air supports? does it support SQLite?
3. Are there any APIs available for Adobe Air if we want to sync data to some online database?
4. are there any framework requirements for Adobe Air Applications to run? What are the prerequisites for the Adobe Air Application to run? Are its applications portable?
5. Is Adobe Air a defunct tech or is it safe to create a commercial grade desktop app in Adobe Air.
Comments are appreciated.
Adobe discontinued support for Adobe Air Linux so it can be stated that it is not portable.
Go with something else.
Can we develop a full fledged database driven GUI application in Adobe Air?
Which databases Adobe Air supports? does it support SQLite?
Are there any APIs available for Adobe Air if we want to sync data to some online database?
Adobe Air supports SQLite as other multi platform languages. You cannot connect it directly to other databases.
BUT,
If you like to create online Air application, I suggest you to connect and load your contents from online server by Web APIs or Web services.
are there any framework requirements for Adobe Air Applications to run? What are the prerequisites for the Adobe Air Application to run? Are its applications portable?
You can choose to create Stand Alone version to build for any OS like Windows,Mac and also the same code can build for Android, iOS and BlackBerry.
And also there is nothing needed to install for SQLites to run.
Is Adobe Air a defunct tech or is it safe to create a commercial grade desktop app in Adobe Air.
Yes, you must encrypt your database and your exported SWF file.
I know is hard to develop web application and make a individual app versions in each device.
But i just want to know how that works with big companies.I want to know how they write there code
The best example is Evernote and Google Drive.
They make a cloud application and individual apps for each device.
So the questions are..
How do sync the data with the cloud apps ?
Do they use version control ?
Can i get software requirement specification anywhere ?
Platforms and Languages:
iPhone and Mac - Objective C
Android and Other Mobile Apps - Java
Windows 8 - C#
Web Apps - PHP or Python
How do you solve this solution languages differ?
I guess i it's not possible with version control..
How to minimize coding ?
I recommend you use a version control tool.
make a individual app versions in each device.
I assume you mean developing different versions with few differences. The branch feature in a version tool can help you manage these versions easily.
How do sync the data with the cloud apps ?
You can use the web deployment feature to upload the applications/modifications to your web server.
I list some version control tools here for your reference:
Git
SVN
SourceAnywhere (I work for the company)
Team Foundation Server
I have a question , is there is any analytical tools for Nokia S40 devices such as Flurry analytics For android and iphone ??
According to http://www.developer.nokia.com/Develop/Series_40/ "Series 40 offers you two great development technologies: Java and web apps".
Assuming you are using Java ME, you can try http://j2megroup.blogspot.com.br/2012/07/new-version-of-google-analytics-me-v21.html and all application statistics will be stored on a Google Analytics account.
