I invested quite some time searching for good and up to date tutorials on using the Facebook API. I can't seem to find anything. Even the Facebook developer documentation doesn't contain good examples.
What good tutorials are available? I'm particularly interested in creating feed posts via the Facebook API.
The forums at the Facebook dev site help out a lot. They are some good devs there and a post there about your requirement will be answered.
I haven't thoroughly evaluated this, but it looks useful:

Is it possible to like comments on posts through the Facebook API and if so, how? I haven't found anything in the documentation, only similar SO questions but they are almost ten years old and might be outdated by now.
No, that is not possible. Earlier, it was only used/abused for autoliking and like selling platforms, so they removed the possibility.
Title pretty much says it all. Blogs are under the same account. Asked this question on Quora with little response.
I'm looking for perhaps a web app, which automates the process. If there isn't anything already out there, I'm ready to build my own web app using Tumblr's API.
Take a look at this post describing for detailed explanation of moving data from one Tumblr to another http://vinylanswer.tumblr.com/post/42009904333/how-to-turn-your-secondary-tumblr-blog-into-your
What is the best way to reach a live Microsoft developer on the phone who can answer technical questions about standardized OpenXML formats?
I have a paid MSDN support contract. I wanted to use one of my phone tickets but only production-related questions are eligible. For various reasons, I'm not interested in online support.
If this is the wrong place to ask this question, I'd appreciate a pointer in the right direction. I've been on the phone with Microsoft already and frankly I rely on StackOverflow more than Microsoft support.
Phone support is almost always paid for. One of the only ways you're going to get free phone support is find a Microsoft-employee-friend to give you a QuickAssist card.
Other than that, forums are the way to go.
The Office Open XML File Format Implementation forum is the place to ask your questions. Forewarning though - the responses can sometimes be incredibly slow as some of the folks manning the thread are not actually experts on Open XML but instead just try to read the ECMA spec to answer your questions. If you push hard enough, you may just have some luck though. (You'll see me on there as both "otaku" and "terlo").
The other place to ask questions that is "sponsored" by Microsoft is OpenXMLDeveloper.org. The forums you'd probably be interested in are at http://openxmldeveloper.org/discussions/formats/default.aspx. They don't seem to be regularly viewed by Microsoft though, but sometimes. There are other folks who try to answer questions though and do a decent job. (You'll see me on there as "tendoors").
Finally, Stackoverflow.com has some decent folks following OPENXML and OPENXML-SDK tags. You can try in all 3 locations if you like :)
I'd suggest you ask your question here, and in the Open XML Developer forum.
The msdn forums don't offer much knowledge of Open XML.
The Open XML Developer forums (http://openxmldeveloper.org/discussions/formats/default.aspx) employ people to answer your questions so you're somewhat guaranteed a response, however YMMV.
Here, you might just be surprised what people know.
So a few months ago I was browsing Google blogs for some filler content in my RSS reader. I don't recall any of the my searches but I did come across this unique website which interviewed all kinds of developers and their trades (some from Greasemonkey/firefox, artists, etc). The website interviewed them about their professions and then a detailed questionnaire about their tools, workflow and other task-solving methods. I've been trying to replicate my searches and prying my mind of what I was looking for or keywords that were used in the site but I have had no such luck. The website seemed pretty high-profile so I was wondering if any of you stackoverflowians might be visitors to this site or know what I am referring to.
Thanks if you can help!
Was it usesthis.com ? Sounds like it.
Web Programming HTML has several versions, however there is little reason for the novice to learn anything but the latest edition. Once you have mastered the basics of html, you may want to venture into some other web coding languages.
Do they just scrape or are there APIs?
I think they just scrape, because I haven't seen or heard of any APIs. Check also https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2689711/itunes-app-store-api
I was looking for the same things and found http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/ (this is not the official api, as it seems they arent' any). It would be nice if there was an official API in the same way itunes has made theirs available
