This page https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/google_app_engine.html suggests that I can easily create new projects with google-app-engine java support. It comes up in my google search about this topic, with the idea community edition. however, my "new project" dialogue does not look like that: https://www.dropbox.com/s/soof8k29cl1fb9r/Screenshot%20from%202014-12-04%2022%3A15%3A18.png?dl=0
So I suspect this is just a feature in the intellij idea ultimate edition. But then I would expect to be able to download the plugin for the google-app-engine integration somewhere, right? Where would that be? I was only able to find a really old plugin (version 1.1.2) while the recent one is 1.1.4, I am told.
IntelliJ Community Edition is not meant for web development, hence it is only supported in the Ultimate Edition:
The plugin is bundled with IDEA Ultimate Edition since version 9.

No Salesforce Extension Packs are available; am I wrong in concluding the web version of Visual Studio Code is useless for Salesforce development at this time?
using VS Code in the browser as a text editor certainly feels handicapped after being used to the tooling provided by the Salesforce Extensions.
Salesforce certainly seems aware of this and the benefits of a browser based code editor. In June 2020 Salesforce announced a pilot of Code Builder, which is a browser based version of VS Code with the Salesforce extensions built into it.
At Dreamforce this year (2021) it was announced that a beta Code Builder would become available in Spring 22. The spring 22 release notes have recently been published. While it doesn't seem to mention Code Builder, it is clearly something that has been in the works for a while and could be seen soon. Keep your eyes peeled, and if anyone else has any further information I'd love to hear it!
This morning, I tried to get a coop student up and running on an older version of the Google App Engine for Eclipse plugin.
The following website and all related links appear to have been wiped off the face of the earth:
https://developers.google.com/eclipse/
Is this just down at the moment?
Is it possible to get older versions of the plugin?
While it is correct that the Google Plugin for Eclipse has been removed from Google's documentation, it is still available.
To install it, in Eclipse Neon, click "Install new Software" and add in this URL.
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.6
Next, click through the dialogues to allow the installation, and restart Eclipse.
While Google has chosen to stop supporting this, I personally feel that the new Cloud Tools for Eclipse plugin is just not ready. Also, in the early days, JDO was what many people were using on top of the data layer, and since GAE has been around for 10+ years, many of us have a lot of infrastructure built on top of this that is costly to change. While it's still possible, in theory, to run the DataNucleus enhancer manually, it's a huge pain that requires in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of GAE and DataNucleus and knowledge of which dependencies go together. It may have been well-documented in the past, but today it is not.
But be warned, one of our engineers recently lost the ability to deploy the project to Google App Engine using the GPE and was forced to use the gcloud tool, which doesn't seem to have sensible defaults, like deploying to a non-default version and instead will deploy straight to default, well, by default. So we're writing a script around that command that will pass in --no-promote so it doesn't immediately start migrating traffic... Visit the gcloud reference for app deploy for more details. Good luck!
For more information on the install process, please see How to install Google Plugin for Eclipse on mkyong.com.
GPE is indeed gone. It was not up to date and many parts of it no longer functioned. Over the coming year, even more core functionality was going to break. We wouldn't be doing anyone any favors by letting them invest their time in a broken tool. This is doubly true for new users such as your students. There are some old GPE snapshots floating around here and there, but those don't really work with GCP in 2018.
That official documentation is most likely gone for good, the plugin was deprecated in favour of the Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse. From Migrating from the Google Plugin for Eclipse:
The Google Plugin for Eclipse is deprecated and will not be supported
beyond Eclipse 4.6 (Neon). It will be removed in early 2018.
This document describes how to migrate a project that uses the Google
Plugin for Eclipse to the supported tooling.
You can check the snapshots of the docs on the Wayback Machine, and maybe still find the matching code repositories, if they haven't been removed as well.
But it's probably a good idea to switch to the supported tools sooner than later, especially since they're just getting started.

I have several WPF applications. And I think the number of apps would grow overtime. I want to create an installer with these features:
Check for .Net version and ask the user to install it
Support for creating a secure time-based trial version for the app with activation support.
Template support: So I can create one general installer and modify it for each tool.
Update support: Check for the new version of the app.
Easy to deploy: There is a chance that I won't be uploading them myself.
If there is a tool which can help me with these, I'll be glad to use it. Commercial tools are fine too. If not, please suggest a streamlined process to achieve the optimal result.
Advanced Installer, Enterprise edition, with a good price, has also all these features. To learn the tool I recommend this tutorial, after which you can continue with tutorials for the updater and licensing library(trial support).
InstallShield will do what you are looking for but it's not cheap. They have really nice wizards, script editors, SQL packaging, version control, etc.

Visual Studio 2010 / 2012 include the light version, but it can't really do more than wrap an app for installation. All the other advanced features are reserved to the paid versions.
I've been developing for and running Silverlight 4 for about a week. A week ago I installed the Silverlight 4 design time components to develop and debug silverlight for VS 2010 - I posted some of these apps and they were used by users running SL4. Today, I went to a website that told me to upgrade my SL (I think it was the MS expression site) - so I did that and all the sudden I get this error when running SL 4 apps within VS 2010.
The silverlight developer runtime is not installed please install a matching version
Installing the latest version of the Silverlight SDK does not correct this. Basically I am stuck and unable to run Silverlight apps from VS2010.
Are versioning problems like this a common theme in SilverLight? The only thing I can think of is that there is a minor version difference between the versions used on the the MS Expression web site and the version (SL4) I installed from MS site a few days ago? However re-installing the latest version of SL4 does not correct this.
Any help?
The developer runtime is a different download than the normal "end user" runtime.
Again quoting from Tim Heur's Blog, you need to look for the link under "getting the updates" that points to the developer runtime. This will allow you to debug etc.
I already own Visual Studio 2008 Team Version, and have an MSDN subscription...and I am an experienced ASP.Net developer.
What do I need to install to do Silverlight development, and can all of those tools be installed alongside my current "production" development machine (want to make sure there will not be any side effects).
I know I want to learn silverlight, but its not clear to me which tools are required and/or recommended in order to get started...
Thanks.

This link has pretty much every thing you need.
If you're already comfortable with VS development, you can just develop Silverlight in VS by downloading the Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008.
If you're more of a designer than devloper, then Microsoft Expression Studio may be better for you.

I have no problems using this stuff side-by-side with my regular development
Silverlight.net is a good place to start. All the tools are finalized so you should be able to install all things silverlight and be fine.
I am also trying to get started with Silverlight development.
Here is how I was getting started.
1.) To set up development environment: Getting started with Silverlight
2.) Web Sites to keep up with.

I have Visual Studio 2003/5/8(+Resharper 4.1) installed on my machine along side siliverlight SDK and Expression Suite.
So far I have not seen any side effects even after installing all those tools on my dev machine after few months.
You can use Silerlight Spy to view the 'reflected' source code of any Silverlight application on the web. But, you can also use it to validate the structure of the components in your running application. The debugging experience reminds me of working with Firebug while trying to decipher the viusal structure of a web page.
In addition to the visual studio stuff, you should probably get blend and all of it's service packs.
