I want to create a CAPTCHA verification of my application, my application is developed using GWT, which not use online resources.
I've tried with reCaptcha, but recaptcha have to access the api hosted in the google.com. Is there any ways to make it working in my local network which totally can not access any resource of the internet? thanks
You can use a local library like SimpleCaptcha.
Here an article that explain how to use it with GWT: http://www.javacodegeeks.com/2010/06/add-captcha-gwt-application.html

I am interested in learning to use the Smartsheets API. In the past I created workflows in Google Apps Script, which has a built in IDE that houses the script. Does Smartsheets have something similar? If not, where is a common place to keep your code and have it react to webhooks/events?
Regards,

The API is just a way to communicate between your application and Smartsheet - there is no hosting for your executable code. Smartsheet provides a number of SDKs to help make the calls easier to perform, but in theory you could use any language to make the REST commands. So, pretty much any service that allows executable code would work, such as Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or others. Here's a brief comparison of services.
You can start developing on your own computer before you worry about cloud deployment. See the getting started guide and samples here: https://github.com/smartsheet-platform/getting-started
If you really need to respond to webhooks, your code will have to run somewhere that accepts incoming HTTP calls from the Internet without being blocked by a firewall. This could be in your data center, any of cloud services, or via a tunnel such as https://ngrok.com/
I'm pretty new with an Ember so for the start I have a noob question - is it possible to use Local Storage and REST adapter at the same time?
For example, if I want to do a login via API, if login is success the server will return an API key which is used for later communication with a service. Is it possible to store that information locally on the client and to retrieve it when necessary but also, for other models, to use REST adapter?
If this is not a good way to handle such case, which one would you propose and is there any kind of example which would me lead me in the right direction?
Thanks to the people from #emberjs, I found out that there is a wonderful ember-auth authentication framework for the Ember.js which does what I need.
We have our clients website in Drupal at present, for which we needs to create an iPhone App.
So any ideas on how to do that?
Is there any ready made available plug-ins or modules which we can use to generate Category / Articles XMLs directly from database, without much custom code n its headache?
All your suggestions are most welcome..
Thanks !
Yes. You should start with "Services" module, which will allow you to communicate your website with external websites or applications.
Also, you will need a way to communicate with Drupal. We're using XMLRPC, but you can use JSON, Rest...up to you.
Here you have an starting point: http://www.zivtech.com/blog/simplest-drupal-iphone-app
Services implements the most common used methods for Drupal. Which are node saving/load, comments and users. If you need extra functionality, you will need to create a custom module (rather easy).
You can test all the calls with the Services tab in the Drupal website. Just remember to set the permissions.
There is also a Drupal-iOS SDK, which does almost everything I told you, but uses plist instead. https://github.com/seanhellwig/drupal-ios-sdk
Do I need to implement my own sync methods in order to make an offline web app (html+css+js) stay up to date with changes made on the server (and viceversa)? I'm using MySQL on the server side.
I read Two-way sync between iPhone application and web application with some pointers but I think they're talking about native applications when they mention CFUUIDCreate and I wander if this is possible for the Web.
Does someone have some code to share or maybe can point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
P.S.: I hope my english is not that rusty ;)
To store static contents on the client-side, as Jethro Larson said, the Application Cache Manifest is the way to go to cache the static contents of your website (HTML, CSS, JS and images).
To handle dynamically generated contents offline, you can use javascript templates. There are several solutions for this.
To sync the two databases, there is a project called persistence.js (persistencejs.org) which is a javascript library which offers a unique API to work with WebSQL databases, Local Storage, etc. They have a plugin for this library called persistence.sync (persistencejs.org/plugin/sync) which syncs the remote database with the server's one. It consists of POST and GET requests to a specific url that you can configure (for example yourapp.dev/sync). They have an example back-end written in node.js and here is one for Rails. It's simple to understand and persistence.sync is well documented.
Look at the offline cache:

I would like my iPhone app to get dynamic content off the net. This content should be managed using a CMS. I would like to know in particular if I can setup Drupal or Joomla or other CMS as a backend for my iphone app to get the content.
Any advice on how this can be achieved would be helpful.
I am completely new to setting up/using CMS.
You can also take a look at StorageRoom, which is a CMS for Mobile Applications.
Disclaimer: I created this myself to scratch my own itch.
Wordpress with the JSON-API plugin is a great solution, especially if you need a web site as well.
You can find a good example here that uses Wordpress and Phonegap to get a basic app going.
If you can access the content in any serialized format (e.g. XML or JSON), it should be no problem to use any CMS as a "backend" for your application.
I'm checking out storageroom, and I'm searching for a similar answer, but I also found osmek to be a bit promising. I might use that one because of the menu templates .Osmek can provide responses in json and xml (and other formats that aren't useful in iphone dev like php, html, and templates)
Feed.Us is another option. I have a series of travel guides iphone apps and use Feed.Us to manage the businesses listed within the apps.
It creates a URL with XML that gets imported into the app.
This seems to be a very promising solution!
Apache Usergrid
I have briefly tried DreamFactory for some trial project but never got around to using it in production. Usergrid seems to be in the right direction in providing a full fledged solution (which can also work for modern web apps)
I'm very curious about Helios (helios.io) and will be trying it out shortly.
At least from the write-up on their site it looks very promising. Its open source, and in beta currently. They also have very easy heroku hosting support.
Helios is an open-source framework that provides essential backend
services for iOS apps, from data synchronization and push
notifications to in-app purchases and passbook integration.
I will update the answer again once I use this for some test project.
you can use any cms or framework to implement this. you need to make a jsonm api to communicate between app and backend server.
For php cms joomla, drupal and wordpress are best.
in frameworks you can use yii, cakephp, laravel or zend
hope this helps..
Also worth taking a look at Cloud CMS:
http://www.cloudcms.com
It's a cloud content management system for mobile and web applications, entirely oriented around JSON and having a fast, fully featured API. Your iOS application could easily grab things, render them, capture data, store it back into the CMS and more. Plus, it gives you a user interface you can drop in front of your business users so that they can create, edit and review things.
Note: I'm one of the developers. That said, worth checking out if for no other reason than for inspiration.
Depending on the data-complexity, perhaps willing a CMS into being a data-store or simple API is overkill when you can leverage file storage services like Google Drive/Apps to GET/POST spreadsheets or other documents in JSON, among other formats.
Is it possible to use Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive, etc. as a server space?
