I know what is meant by web services but I was not able to find any web services for the network devices or for the webserver..!
Sorry for asking this question it may be stupid but I didn't find any answer on google.
Thanks

I'm looking at making a simple dashboard to ping a few servers. Searching Stack Overflow I see it's not possible with Chrome "Extensions," but I see in the Chrome app store a bunch of ping apps so it appears to be possible. I just can't find any examples or documentation on it.
Can someone point me to the right place or give me some code snippets to look at?
Is there any way to register for Google Apps remotely (i.e. with an API), if I already own the domain and can manage DNS?
Yes if you are an ISP or large enough. Given that you're asking here, instead of talking to your Google Enterprise rep, chances are this is a "no".
I am keen to get some apps built that can communicate with other devices/ web etc. i have played around with FTP and can get so far. But what is the best way to do this? We don't have any Servers with databases etc, but do have a site that we are currently uploading and downloading files to.
can anyone suggest a good/ better way to get the device to send/ receive files?
thanks

If it's HTTP communication you're wanting to do, the simplest and most powerful tool is ASIHTTPRequest.
HTTP is the protocol your web browser uses to talk to web servers. If you have a site you're storing and downloading files at, it's almost certainly HTTP you're talking to it.
For iOS device to device communication one can use Bump API.
EDIT: I don't know of a generic framework for device <-> server communications, but having built applications that use web services of other providers like Yelp, Yahoo, Google Maps, I would say the way to go for this is to have REST based web services which exchange data in JSON format.
I would like to make an application for iOS devices that would communicate with a special type of remote device using HTTP POST requests. The problem is that this device would actually act in the role of a client, while iOS device has to be the server accepting the requests. The next problem, host name and port has to be configured statically at the device sending the requests.
While I'm aware it's possible to give it a try using Dynamic DNS services and UPnP/IGD or NAT-PMP to overcome the problem with iOS device being behind the NAT router, I was wondering whether using Bonjour could simplify the problem in some way. I'm quite a newbie in networking so I'm looking for the direction and want to avoid research of Bonjour if it's not going to bring me anything.
Any other idea of how to solve the problem is appreciated as well.
I had a think about this. IMHO you can't guarantee you'll always be able to expose an iOS based service over a WAN (although it's possible) so this isn't practical.
The best solution I suggest is using uPNP to open the device behind a router to the outside world, then have it send an iOS push notification to the iPhone with the details (hostname, ip, port, etc).
The iPhone would then would then have to set up some kind of persistent connection with the firewalled device to receive data.
Bonjour is a good system to discover and connect to services/clients, but only on your local network. I don't think it is a good idea to try it over the internet.
Am wondering if anyone can suggest the right technology required to create a web-messenger service similar to Meebo i.e. it should be able to connect to various services like Facebook, Gtalk etc. I know they are all Jabber compatible. Am wondering if anyone can suggest a technology that is required to connect to these servers? Also, is there an API or a service available instead of re-writing the wheel?
What about Google AppEngine?
With the introduction of the XMPP
service to App Engine, it's now
possible to write an App Engine app
that communicates with users - or even
other applications - over XMPP,
otherwise known as Jabber or Google
Talk.
