I was wondering if there were any convenient websites that offered tutorials on developing applications for the Blackberry platform. I've looked into it before, but always got stuck and couldn't find my way around one obstacle or another.

I work on an application for custom fit eyewear, and we've been using Bellus3D's iOS SDK for getting facial geometry, including landmarks like pupils.
Bellus3D has decided to wind their business down by the end of 2022, and I'm looking for a suitable replacement framework for our application. Bellus was great because it produced reliable results in exchange for a pretty simple user experience.
I've found a few apps that also use or used Bellus, but not getting any word about what alternatives they've found that would suitably replace it.
Scandy doesn't seem to be accepting new SDK registrations
Standard Cyborg took some tweaks, but works great, and their API tokens work, but I can't find any information about their pricing and they're not responding
Topology Eyewear seems to have a solution, but not a lot of details and aren't responding either.
I've reached out to a few app developers that incorporated Bellus 3D, but so far all I've heard is that they're in the same situation.
Does anyone know of a working, maintained solution for 3D face scanning with cell phones (or 3D scanning in general), or of an approach to get something with decent fidelity out of ARKit
This is a very basic question, but I have no idea how to be begin, so please bear with me.
I'm a C# software developer, so I'm very familiar with the VS IDE and with Windows and Web development. But I have never developed a mobile application.
With that said, I came up with an idea which is essentially a screen with a map and a bunch of pins, and a list that represents each pin. It will run in an iphone and android phone. It will look something like below.
I decided to develop it in Xamarin because 1) I've worked with VS for many years so I understand how it works, 2) I can develop one app in Xamarin that can run both in ios and android.
I understand that it may be a very basic question, but I have no idea where to start. I also have experience with development, so I don't want to go thru the Hello World example. Finally, I also have a full-time job, so my limited free time would be used to completing this particular app.
So my question is: where do I start?
First thing first. You should get yourself familiar with Mobile Development(app life cycle, patterns etc.) by creating few sample applications (since you stated you were developing in Visual Studio using c# before it should be quick procedure for you). You can find documentation and sample codes on official Xamarin site:
Xamarin Website
Next get yourself familiar with MVVM pattern and MVVM frameworks to write applications using modern patterns and modern practises. I personally recommend MVVMCross or MVVMFresh.
Data Binding from Official site
FreshMVVM with Samples
Then get yourself familiar with Xamarin.Forms maps. It's a nice library that allows you to use one code and share them across 2 platforms. Google Maps official apis are also good but they are platform specific.

Enjoy and welcome to the Dark Side ;)
I am developing a system which has both Tablet & Website.
It's a tool and now more and more professional come to register on my system.
I want to do ads on the system. Both website and Tablet(iPad for now but will support android).
I searched a lot and MoPub seems a good option. I did utilize the MoPub SDK to iOS and website. it works good except, it's for mobile only.(Said by MoPub official, I feel sad because it meet every my requirement except this one. I need do ads on website also, even on PC browser.)
I want find an alternative of MoPub, but seems there is not much options.
Is there any one who knows this and give me some suggestion?
My requirement is:
As the system admin, I can create Ads order for customer, I can define the Ads content&layout displayed on both iPad & website. I can put link on ads and the link should works on both Tablet App and PC website.
As developer who integrate the Ads platform. I can utilize the SDK to request Ads based on customer keywords I defined.
I can see a lot of reports for the revenue, daily, monthly, single ads, multiple ads.
The very basic Ads configuration
Well formed SDK on iOS and android. so that I can integrate quickly.
Thanks!!!
hey man) you’re asking and trying to compare different things: you ask about MoPub Alternative and one of your requirements is that the solution should support both Web and Mobile. MoPub is for mobile platforms (ios/android) only. Frankly speaking both web and mobile ads have own features and nuances, that’s why most of current solutions are focused either on mobile or web. Not sure I can provide lots of info about platforms for web, but this article might be useful for you https://www.adpushup.com/blog/the-best-ad-networks-for-publishers-2015-edition-moving-beyond-adsense/
Mopub is a really good platform, but if you’re still thinking about alternative (i’m speaking about mobile) take a look at mediation solutions. there are lots of them: AdMob Mediation, Heyzap, Fyber, Appodeal and many others. all of them have pros and cons. if you like manual customization and settings give a try to the first three, i’ve heared lots of good things and positive reviews about HeyZap and Fyber, though im not a big fan of "handjob" =). this way you’ll just have to create accounts in networks you’d like to use in mediation. but i personally think that its slightly a longer way, at least for me, because the performance of each network depends on your app and it need to be understood. so you’ll need to analyze which ad networks perform better for you. i’m not a big fan of everyday analysis and comparisons, so i stick to programmatic services, like Appodeal for instanse. the point is that it works out of the box, automatically, without manual settings for each network and account, that helped me to save a lot of time for working on other projects. i’m pretty much sure that you won’t get a 100% right answer, because each developer has own priorities and aims. I suppose that the best way it to collect info on forums like stackoverflow, reddit, and make your own research accordin to your needs. good luck
I am planning to implement an online whiteboard. But I have no idea where to start. I went through many creative applications online, most of them seemed to have been implemented using Adobe Flash. Can anyone provide ideas on how to start off with the application regarding both the front-end and back-end implementation.
As a web developer I would suggest you to look at HTML5 Canvas as it allows you to draw/scribble on it. You must consider using fabric js So you would need HTML5 and javascript.
To share your whiteboard scribbling or anything you ll have to push real time data to other clients/user(aka browser), you should consider websockets , socket.io
Here this question can you help you I think. That should get you started. Let us know if you face any specific problem.
Recently I've been getting more and more into mobile development. I am currently working with the iPhone and Android based devices.
Palm's new WebOS looks interesting.
Are there any good online tutorials for quickly getting up to speed on developing for the Palm WebOS?
The Palm Developer Network has some basic overviews: http://developer.palm.com/
They also have a section up there: Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript Using the Palm Mojo Framework. This may be a good start.
Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript Using the Palm Mojo Framework is a book in the making, available currently through O'Reilly Rough Cuts program).
You can easily read the first chapter.
That's the closest you can get currently from official sources. Unless you apply to their SDK early access program (sdkapplication.palm.com/sdkapplication) and they let you in (you can apply for it until the SDK is officially released to the public).
Of course, another thing we can do until the SDK is out is catch up on whatever technologies we individually need that programming for Palm's webOS will require: JavaScript, HTML5, CSS... and there's ton of material about these online. Actually, there are many websites dedicated to Palm Pre and webOS that sprung up recently. The one that is more programming oriented that I know of is webOShelp.net: take a look at their Getting started with webOS guide (www.weboshelp.net/getting-started-with-webos).
P.S. sorry about not clickable links, had to play the system somehow ;) - it won't allow me to post more than one link since I'm new here.
Now that the device is out, people are actively playing with the device. Best site I have found so far is (no affiliation) http://predev.wikidot.com
Also, if you root the device, you can look at the source for the shipped apps in /usr/palm/applications
I have additional notes at http://friendfeed.com/
The site www.weboshelp.net has quite a few good tutorials.
This blog has a good tutorials:
