Each professor have his students.
Can you help me?
There are ready-to-go Chat platforms for Web/JS that provide API, SDK and docs for integration.
I used ConnectyCube in many of my applications. They support Messaging, Video Calling and Push Notifications functionality for iOS, Android and Web.
Javascript messaging (chat) guide https://developers.connectycube.com/js/messaging
They have ready-to-go code samples under MIT license for Chat in browser, it can be used as a start and save some development time https://developers.connectycube.com/js/code-samples
Chat and Messaging features supported:
1-1 messaging
Group messaging
Cross-platform
Sent/Delivered/Read statuses
‘Is typing’ statuses
File attachments
Automatic push notifications to offline users
Contact list
Black list

I'm starting with xamarin.forms mobile apps and trying to build an app using the azure offline sync feature.
In sample applications and tutorials one is asked to create a new backend project by selecting ASP.NET Web Application with the Azure Mobile App template - which in the meantime is retired.
Similarly in the azure portal the template (Web + Mobile => Mobile App) to build the backend
is retired.
So it seems the offline sync feature requires setup of specific components which no longer are provided by microsoft. Since other key features of mobile apps (push notification, authentication &
authorization, ...) are still advertised it seems to me that the offline sync feature has silently died.
So my questions are:
how to set up that backend given that those templates are no longer available?
anybody having experience with that feature in a real world application: does the offline sync feature as it was advertised has proven to be a usable feature ?
Any guidance on how to implement the backend feature (without the mentioned templates)
would be highly appreciated.
Check out the book: https://adrianhall.github.io/develop-mobile-apps-with-csharp-and-azure/ - it covers set up without the portal functionality, which - as you have pointed out - is no longer included in the portal.
"It depends" - generic offline sync always has caveats because it requires models to be created a certain way in order to support offline sync. Can you use the feature to synchronize "any" model? No. However, if you follow the rules laid down (the book I linked to, which I wrote, is a good starting point), then it works well.
I am new to C# and Bot Framework. I need to set up a small poc where I have to do a sample registration using Cortana, C# and SQL. Can anyone of you help me out in this?
This is literally the first post I found when copying the title of your post into Google: Build a speech-enabled bot with Cortana skills
Creating a Cortana skill using Bot Framework requires very little Cortana-specific knowledge and primarily consists of building a bot. One of the likely key differences from other bots that you may have created in the past is that Cortana has both a visual and an audio component. For the visual component, Cortana provides an area of the canvas for rendering content such as cards. For the audio component, you provide text or SSML in your bot's messages, which Cortana reads to the user, giving your bot a voice.
If you'd like to create bot application in c# and access SQL database, you can try:
1) Bot Builder SDK for .NET is easy to use and leverages C# to provide a familiar way for .NET developers to write bots.
2)to access SQL database, you can use ADO.NET technologies or Entity Framework. And here is an example of EF in a bot, you can refer to it.
Besides, to configure Cortana channel, you can refer to this article: "Connect a bot to Cortana".
I have a bot framework published on Azure that is working fine, according to my emulator. I developed this bot to use it on the app (Xamarin) that I am developing (C#). However, I don't know how to communicate with my bot. I need someway to send "strings" and get the "strings" answered by the bot. How can I establish a connection and a conversation with my bot?
Any code tutorial available?
My bot is published on https://XXXXXX.azurewebsites.net/api/messages .
Thank you in advance!
I think that you will have to use the Direct Line API.
The Direct Line API is a simple REST API for connecting directly to a single bot. This API is intended for developers writing their own client applications, web chat controls, mobile apps, or service-to-service applications that will talk to their bot
Here you will find a sample showing how to create a DirectLine client.
I'm tasked with writing a web app that will connect an internal employee and an external client while logging Case details. Our company recently switched over to Lync, so I'm a bit lost on the API for doing this.
Ideally, this would be a web app (C# & ASP.NET) so that the customer support department doesn't have to install something to every workstation. It would also mimic the behavior found in this article for sending an email to allow external users to connect.
Is UCMA required for this? We have a generic Lync account that could be used by a service to facilitate these requests if that would be more appropriate. I can also force the issue for using a desktop app if need be.
I'm just having a hell of a time finding the right API calls to make this happen on MSDN so any links to docs or tutorials would be a huge help.
Some research that doesn't quite point out what needs to be done:
UCMA: Chat with users not in AD
How do I Invite a user by email to a Lync 2010 chat session using the API?
you should take a look at this sample located at :%Program Files%Microsoft UCMA 3.0\SDK\Core\Sample Applications\Reference\ContactCenter
You'll find more details here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh285604.aspx
Hope that helped.
You should also take a look at UCWA - Microsoft's Unified Communications Web API.
Unified Communications Web API
It's a great platform for adding Lync functionality into your Web application, has an Online Demo with full source code as well.
Does anyone know of a good In-App purchase framework for desktop applications? I see a lot for mobile, but nothing really to support a generic windows application.
Ideally, we want something which can handle all of the purchases, content management, etc. and all we would have to do is ask the server which in-app items the user has purchased, and then get a url to download the necessary assets to the desktop. If it had a c# api, that would be a plus.
Thanks,

Some desktop games are using Google In-App Payments to monetize by selling virtual goods.

As an example have a look at Bastion:

I believe Steam provides a framework for in-game purchasing of downloadable content.
Windows 8 will be released with a "Windows App Store" that includes a comprehensive payments SDK.
