i am about to design feature for web app enabling live video trainings. Requirements are pretty much this: there are some VIP members (trainers), they are able to start new lesson (with nothing else but web browser and webcam), and non-vip members can watch it online (and the session should be recorded too for later on-demand watching..). The application is ASP.NET MVC 2.
I done some quick research, and as I see it, there are 2 platforms : adobe flash (media server + flash player on client side), and MS (windows media services + silverlight on client). I would rather go for MS solution (already got licences for windows server,etc.), but I am not sure if it is even possible - I have not found any examples of somebody doing this - I mean upstreaming video from webcam do server, encoding it with media encoder (this part is the question) and streaming it to clients... can you give me any clues about this please? or should I go for Flash platform for this ?
Thanx a lot !

Hello I'm about to implement responsive design for a major companies primary website which gets about 14 million unique visitors a month. I'm setting up the basic front end architecture and was wondering on any ideas and techniques that could make life easier. Was looking into backbone for mvvc, Zurb foundation, respond js for ie8, replace js for reducing http calls, GUI minifier...any suggestions that have made everyone's life easier after going down the same path??
Thanks
I currently have a platform that runs the same UX on chrome, ie8+, ff, opera, safari, ios, and android.
I would say do a lot of testing, and make sure to only use cross browser implementations.
Try not to be too cutting edge, or you will drown yourself trying to spotfix the environments which do not support those features. http://www.caniuse.com is a nice resource.

Is there a way to force Zxing library to scan text only? I am looking for the offline (non-cloud) solution to scan text in windows phone.
OR
The integrated Bing vision successfully scans text from the image. Is there a way to call the same task in our application (something like Microsoft.Phone.Tasks)?
If you're looking for OCR solutions, you could use this so post.
Regarding bing vision - there's no support for third-party developers yet. Though there's a project called Hawaii (yes, it's cloud-based) that's probably going to be the gateway for bing vision ocr.
As far as i know, there's no native .NET OCR engines. In theory, you could use any OCR SDK that worked for Win CE (as long as WP7 is based on it), but in practice - i haven't seen any working solution yet and all OCR applications for WP7 that i've seen were based on cloud services. I can point you to some ready to go cloud solutions if you'd change your mind about web API.

In my work we recently started to build iphone (and a little bit of android) apps.
and now we are searching for a software that we could make an automated tests for our apps.
It could be a virtual emulator or a physical device, it doesn't matter.
the only condition is that we can't use a jailbroken devices.
Can someone help me to find some softwares so we could make automation on iphone (and android if possible)?
If there are emulators or plugins for QTP it will also be fine Because we are using QTP Regularly.
Thanks a lot,
Idan.
You can test mobile devices with QTP using Perfecto Mobile, I'm not sure how good a fix this will be for you since they provide the mobile devices as a service.

Is it good to build a high traffic sites using CakePHP? I am using CakePHP for several projects, but they're very low traffic. Any examples of such site or how can I improve the performance?
This video probably sums up the answer for you (and gives a lot of good details / information) on "CakePHP at massive scale on a budget"
It talks about how they use CakePHP on VERY HIGH traffic site, how it worked, and how it ran...etc.
I believe it was on 1.2 or 1.3 as well, which is significantly slower than 2.0, so - yes - CakePHP is a completely valid option for high-traffic sites. Obviously sites like Facebook will have their own lighter, in-house framework, but - I think that's a problem not worrying about until you reach that point (and by then you'll be a millionaire anyway and won't care) :)

I was wondering if anybody knew of a list of NFC Capable phones. I believe certain iPhones and a Nexus phone are capable of NFC. Are there any more at the current time? More specifically, does the Droid2 have NFC capabilities?
Thanks in advance :D
Try this list, updated daily. It's as close to definitive as you'll find:
http://www.nfcworld.com/nfc-phones-list/
(Disclosure: I maintain this list)
There's only one commercially available NFC handset, Samsung's Nexus S on the Android platform. The rest are concept phones that had limited production runs. AFAIK there's no iPhone with an integrated NFC chip, but there is at least one add-on module for the iPhone which adds NFC as external hardware. Rumor has it that the iPhone 5 will have integrated NFC, and I recently heard another rumor that it won't ;)
