I Want to implement a calendar in my TabBar application, it is supposed to show a google-calendar that updates it self (or already contains the feed at that moment) on a "new tab".
I couldn't find anything that really helped me so I'm asking it now instead and please give a beginners kind of answer to me.
You've got a fair amount of research ahead of you. You couldn't find anything? Hmm. Search stackoverflow for "google calendar iphone" and check out the first page of hits. After reading up a bit, try coming back with specific questions. It's going to depend a lot on how much control you want over the calendar info.

Please have a look on fiverr.com's page. they have sign in/register buttons that pop up and darkens the page behind it.
Any suggestions for this functionality on Wordpress? I'd be happy to pay for a good plug in!
Just as a reference - I do not use WordPress, but I am almost certain this functionality is in it somewhere. To answer at the heart of your question though using other means...
You can absolutely do this using CSS/jQuery/PHP. Here is a link to get you started on a tutorial. There is also a number of other tutorials for this with simple google searches.

As for darkening the background, you should be able to do that using CSS/jQuery for the on-click/open events.
For a specific wordpress solution, I believe this might be what you are looking for but to be frank, I have very little experience with WP so can't confirm it is correct.

Best of luck!
Some weeks ago I red about a script at github that will refresh a websites on all devices in the network at the same time while developing on it but I just can't remember the name.
I hope this answer doesn't count to the "this is not a research center forum" category but more I hope that someone might remember it we can share the answer for users that might looking for it too.
Before I get a thousand downvotes, please tell me if this a question at the wrong place (but where else then?)
Meteor has been getting a lot of attention lately, but if all you need is a full page refresh, you could use any pub/sub framework, like Faye, and a few lines of javascript.
Ok, I finally found it again:

Sorry for this basic question but all attempts at Googling and using facebook help only provide out of date information.
I am attempting to make my first fb app. Just an html page saying hello. From what I understand the app (or webpage) is stored on my server and I set up a facebook app that basically points to the URL of the app (or webpage) on my server.
Is this basically correct.
Where do I enter this URL information in my edit app screen. I have followed the latest fb instructions and all I see when I view the app is the admin page in fb for the app.
Does it take a long time for the page to appear.
Is there a current idiots guide. The app design is not a problem for me loading it in to facebook is the problem.
Unfortunately this wasn't very helpful, not because of what you posted but due to the fact that it appears that Facebook has updated the way in which pages are linked to again.
The pages you suggested I look at were well laid out with lots of information on them but they are already out of date and do not seem to correspond with the layout of the Facebook 'dev app' and even the fields in the form seem to have been either dropped added to renamed.
Thanks for trying to help me and I hope that FB may produce some up to date information soon and not keep changing the interface.
I can completely understand your confusion - the Facebook docs give very little information for the complete beginner. The 'Getting Started' section makes some massive assumptions and completely ignores huge key areas you need to know to get your first application up and running.
So to address your points:
Yes, this is basically correct. Apps on Facebook are served up to the user in one of two ways. Either as a 'Canvas App' or a 'Tab App'. A Tab App is an application you can install as a tab on a profile page. A Canvas App can operate on it's own page and has more room as there's no left menu as you would have on a profile page. You can configure a single app to work in both ways.
To edit your application settings, go to your own Facebook home page. Use the search bar to search for the 'Developer App'. Typing in 'developer' should do it - it should be the first result in the App section with around 830,000 monthly users. This Developer app is the window into your own app settings. You need to install it if you haven't already. It's a hub where all the apps you create will be available for you to edit. Whenever you want to edit one of your app settings in future, you click the Developer bookmark that will now be in the left menu on your own Facebook home page.
No. Apps are basically an iframe onto your code. There should be very little if any wait at all. Start with something very simple like spitting out some straight html so you can easily tell if things are set up correctly.
Yes. I found thinkdiff.net to be massively useful in the early days to get my head round the basics and then more advanced concepts. There's tons of examples ranging from very simple to quite advanced. I've just had a quick look around and found this page which should give you a decent head start in getting things moving. Note: I have no affiliation with thinkdiff.net at all - I just found them helpful in the past.
Finally, a request from me; this whole stack overflow thing is new for Facebook developers and very few people are voting up answers they consider helpful. This means new users to SO but experienced FB developers can't vote up good answers and vote down bad ones as we need enough Reputation Points to do so. If this has helped you, please ensure you vote up the answer. Of course if it was rubbish and you're just as lost, dont :D
Hope I've helped in some small way; I know I was completely lost for the first few weeks with FB development and even now there are things that make me tear my hair out! In the end it's very rewarding, but you have to put in the time. Good luck :)
I am making an app for an author (Patrick Rothfuss) and I would like to be able to link to his book in the iTunes store by clicking a UI button. While I think I can set up the button and everything myself, I can't seem to find out what the link is.
Anyone have any idea how to do this?
Thanks
For a more official approach from Apple, see iTunes Link Maker to generate links for iBooks as well as apps and everything else.
It seems that it is still limited to making country-specific links. But you can delete the country part and it would still work.
As example:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/moby-dick/id498469635?mt=11&uo=4
Can be also written as (and work on every country):
https://itunes.apple.com/book/id498469635?mt=11&uo=4
We have deleted book name "moby-dick" (recommended because it's subject to change sometimes) and also the country data "us".
I think currently its undocumented by Apple, but might be they provide the custom url of iBook in near future.
The problem? I look up stuff in the xcode documentation and find very useful lists of objects, methods, etc... But then I still have to go somewhere else to find useful example code of how to use that object. For example, I looked up NSNumber yesterday and found all of the neat stuff it can do, but I still had no clue how to use it. That's just an example. I'm sure I could read the objective c pdf front to back and learn something there (which I plan on doing) but what about later? When I'm looking up some UIKit object? Do I have to go find a tutorial each time (or lately, I just ask StackOverflow and you guys take care of me).
Is there a part of the apple website / xcode documentation that shows the example code I'm looking for?
Is there a wiki site out there or something that has what I'm looking for? (I just tried a simple google search "iphone sdk wiki". this site could be good. iphone sdk wiki . I'll check it out. Anyone else have one they like? )
This is also sort of a mild complaint to Apple. Why not a section on each code definition page that shows usage?
I've found the sample code section on Apple's iPhone Developer Connection be extremely useful not only for samples of complete applications but also a best practices source. Going through the code of The Elements, for example, will expose you to how to use particular classes as well as how to structure your code. It is a wonderful example of how to create a non-trivial iPhone app.
Look in developer.apple.com/iphone they have pretty good documentation (you can use the search bar there) on all the classes and have a lot of good sample code..
I really would emphasize the "Related sample code" section on many, if not most, of the documented classes.
But, IMHO, there isn't any easy way of acquiring the knowledge to develop in Cocoa/Cocoa Touch. The API's are so numerous that it simply takes a lot of time and experience. You just have to work on it, look at a lot of books and study the sample source code where available.
I've tried to take a purposeful approach by carving out some time every week to learning a new API/class irrespective of whether my current project needs it or not.
Alternatively, search Joe Hewitt. He's the developer for iPhone facebook. He has a project you can download that demonstrates all the features of facebook. It's an awesome open source project!
When you look something up in Xcode Developer Documentation, you sometimes get a Related Sample Code: text that tells you what Sample the method or property is used in. Too bad you can't click on it to see the code, but if you do click it takes you to the page to download the sample. – mahboudz 0 secs ago
Apple Developer site has all kinds of code examples. Try searching google for a UICatalog project, it will show you all the basic UI stuff you can do, like adding buttons and progressbars through using only code.
