Our software has an OData API and we would like to package it with a good OData explorer so that developers can easily discover the properties and methods.
We have found this one:
http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/odataexplorer/
But it doesn't work in some cases and is pretty crappy. We need something that is intuitive and polished.
LinqPad will let you connect to WCF Data Services, including OData endpoints.
The tool you are looking for is Sesame Data Browser.
It's a Silverlight application that works online.
For out-of-box application, you can use Tableau or Excel (with PowerPivot) to explorer your service and data
For web based library, you can check about datajs project which have published one ODataQueryBUilder js library recently. Refer to this blog for more detail: http://www.odata.org/blog/odataquerybuilder-a-cross-browser-javascript-library-for-building-odata-queries-3/
Hope this will help you.
I tried LinqPad recently but I found out that it's too strict on parsing OData XMLs, so making it work for some less-compliant OData services is very hard.
OData Viewer Tool worked perfectly for me (and it has a source code, which is also nice)

I need to send data in real time between Delphi/C++Builder apps placed in different PCs not connected in the same LAN, only using Internet.
My first approach was via DataSnap REST server but it is not practical due proxy and router problems. The configuration was too hard for the users plus that some people do not like to have a web server running in their machines opening the corresponding ports.
My second approach is using a server in the middle. I am checking SignalR technology that seems to fit very well. It is well solved for C# but I cannot find any information about VCL, Delphi or C++ Builder.
Is there some library or do I need to work from scratch via WebSockets?
Is there another way to communicate VCL applications that run in separated PCs only connected to Internet?
/n Software has a WebSockets library - with C++Builder support.

So I've been building a service that taps into popular APIs around the web and I've found Swagger to be a huge asset to the project. Instead of writing a ton of custom code that is difficult to maintain, I've been able to use Swagger definitions to dynamically create all my requests to the public APIs our service supports.
This has been working well for ~1 year, but we want to continue adding services to our platform and we ended up trading one maintenance burden for another. While there are a lot of public APIs out there, not many of them are nicely packaged in a computer consumable form such as Swagger.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a central location on the internet where a library of Swagger, RAML, API Blueprint, etc are stored.
If such a thing doesn't yet exist it probably should.
There's nothing yet - probably your closest thing would be ProgrammableWeb (just a generic API directory), PublicAPIs (another directory), and APImatic.io (they pull in APIs from several different sources), but there is no set collection of API Blueprint, Swagger, and RAML APIs as these are all open specs.
However, you may be able to contact the different API providers (API Blueprint - Apiary, RAML - MuleSoft, and Swagger - Apigee/ 3Scale) to see if they can provide you with the APIs created in their tools.
Good luck!

I am intended to build an HTML5 based document editor with features like google docs, the documents are word documents and excel documents stored in server. Backend uses asp.net MVC.
I've found some ways to support doc file editing, but couldn't find any solution for xls.
Is there any good strategy or solution to do this?
Is it feasible as a solo project or it's too ambitious?
If anyone could give some directions,
Any suggestions or guidelines would help.
Why don't you use OpenXML SDK. Its an awesome SDK tool by Microsoft. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb456488.aspx
This might be helpful: http://www.gelsheet.org/
It is an open source, web spreadsheet, that you can probably use.
use http://crocodoc.com that may help. This is not open source but it does the thing.
please try open source alternative for office 365:
http://www.onlyoffice.org/sources#document or Broadway
GDK-Backend http://www.golem.de/1108/85594.html or

I am considering using DropBox to sync user data with a delphi app. It would seem to solve lots of problems regarding security, permissions, etc... I see that there are some API samples for C#, python, etc.. Has anyone done it with Delphi, and if so, are there samples available?
The DropBox API is a generic web based API, either using JSON over HTTP or REST (also over HTTP) calling into the DropBox web server using an API key.
All language specific wrappers are just bindings around this API:
they either encapsulate the JSON over HTTP or REST over HTTP calls.
For a Delphi implementation, rolling your own JSON wrapper is probably the easiest.
There are various ways of doing JSON in Delphi.
Starting with Delphi 2010 on, it contains a native JSON implementation.
Up until Delphi 2009, you can use SuperObject for JSON.
This post from Daniele Teti and the comment thread Below it explain them both.

As the title suggests I am looking for a open source ERP package. While there are tons of ERPs out there, None of them meet my needs. I am looking for a package which I can use configuration or minimal coding to create my customize ERP package for a customer. MS CRM has this ability, it has some built in modules as well we can add more module using configuration files and where needs extend the functionality using aspx of workflow (dll) modules. Please let me know if you need more info on this, I have been looking for this for sometime and yet to get something.
I ended up using Sugar CRM for the need because of its ability to customize the package.
IntarS might be your solution. Very extensible, running real world productive implementations since 10 years. Universal application architecture.
I think ebizframe ERP software can meet your needs related to ERP.
Check erpnext.com - clean, easy to read codebase, available on gihub with an excellent team of guys supporting it. They also offer a hosting service to go with it which is very affordable. Your data is also safe - you can get a mysql dump of all of it at any time if you need to.
