I am building a new website, which you can see at http://www.kristalcapljina.99k.org.
While I have some web design experience, I need help in knowing what I should research to add some specific functionality to the site.
The first bit I want to add is an area where business owners can list their business' information, such as the address or contact information. They should also be able to login later to change the information. I assume this will need some sort of database, but don't know where to begin looking.
Second, I wish to add a map that highlights the locations of these businesses.
Any help direction you can give me to get started would be most appreciated.
You want to embed a Google Map onto your site, using the Google Maps API.

In our company, there is a Google form for collecting Feedback from customers and it's linked to a Google Sheet.
So I want to get those data and show the summary in my ASP.NET MVC project.
I want to know is this possible to do? Do I need to pay an additional amount to get access to those data (like API)?
If there is a way of doing this FOC please tell me how.
Thanks.
I am working on a Xamarin iOS project trying to display a list of the most likely locations based on the user's GPS coordinates using either the Place Picker or GMSPlacePickerViewController from the google maps API, as shown in this Swift tutorial.
However I can't seem to find any decent tutorials using C#. I don't want to display the map to users I simply want to retrieve the list of most likely locations based on the coordinates.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I'm at a bit of a loss about how to use the google maps API to achieve this.
Okay answering this for anyone coming after me and trying to do something similar.After lots of searching I have realised it is possible to use the nearbySearch method from the Google Places API Web Service to retrieve a list of addresses near particular coordinates within a specific radius (in metres). You can optionally specify the type of addresses you are searching for, e.g. Restaurants.
Not sure how I missed this but there is a Place Search demo at the bottom of this page;

Given a facebook username and password, how do I grab the latest status updates from his feed? Moreover, i'd like to know how to get last updates from user profile.
I'm having trouble finding an answer to this question, and I'd like to know whether it could by done using PHP or C# (C# is prefrred). I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to the solution, thanks in advance !
You can easily do that by using the Facebook Graph API in any language. I suggest you should look at the API documentation, specifically the User Reference Doc (you can retrieve any user's status updates using this). It might take some time to understand how it all work, but you can retrieve user information very easily, provided you have the knowledge of a specific language and you understand how the Graph API actually works (there are plenty of example on the developers' website).
Also, you don't even require user's password for this. All you need is the user's id or username and some permissions from that user (or simply an Access Token).
PS: If you have any specific problem in your code, please update your question with some code that you've written till now and I'll be happy to help you with that.
How would you go about providing users with the ability to build a custom avatar character, something like Yahoo! Avatars?
EDIT - Let me be more specific about what Yahoo! Avatars does:
It lets you create an avatar by selecting a face, hair style, eyes, etc.
This is what I'm looking for.
I am interested in:
Libraries, free or paid
Outsourcing to an external website, provided this can be well integrated into our website
Any other suggestions
There are many web sites that let users build "cartoon character" or 3D rendered characters for avatars, but most sites don't allow users to use those avatars on other web sites. This one does: http://www.moeruavatar.com/index_en.shtml, but it's up to the user to save the generated image and upload it to other web sites. I don't know of any ready-made libraries of code you can install on your server to get such functionality on your own web site.
Suggestions for general avatar image / userid or email association:
Gravatar. http://en.gravatar.com/
Identicon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identicon, http://identicon.codeplex.com/
Wavatar
MonsterId
Gravatar is a web service. Identicon is an algorithm you can implement locally on your server if you prefer. The last two are kinda funny but I don't think I'd ever use them.
There's also My Avatar Editor which makes Wii-style (and Wii-compatible) avatars. It's Flash based and it's on googlecode with a MIT-license.
Try a Globally Recognized Avatar, or Gravatar.

Allows users to register and site developers to access Gravitars.

Good luck!
After much wrangling I have a development environment for building sharepoint webparts in c#.
I'm completely new to SP development, so I haven't quite found the various API docs, so I'm hoping someone can help get me started.
Eventually, I want to write a simple web part that allows its user to display different content depending on who the current user is.
What I'd like to do first though is just build a dead simple webpart that will simply print out the current user's details - username, full name and any permissions groups that they have.
Thanks
