So, the laptop was about the only thing I took with me into the conference. That means, I have no idea, if it makes sense to fill the space available in my bag with some...

I've been looking to get out of my current gig (apps programmer) for a while now.

In the modern business climate, remote access seems to have bas...

I am fresh out of College (graduated in December with BS in Comp Sci). I have been working for a very large (40,000+ employee) company for over two years. My job is as stable as anyone could hope for. However, I am always bored, they cannot keep us (developers) busy. I am thinking about apply at some local contracting companies and try ...

Hi, I am about to travel to Europe (I'm Australian but imagine this is a similar circumstance for US users and simply flipped for European users). However, there is the slim possibility I will need to do some Visual Studio work while I'm travelling. As I see it I have three options: Leave a desktop PC on at home, access remotely via...

I am looking for APIs that allow hotel operators to update room information and other hotel info programatically, so far I have only found Expedia QuickConnect but I cannot find anything else. Anyone know of other APIs? Just to reiterate these are APIs to manage a hotel (rooms, prices etc) not to search for hotel rooms. ...

Presumably it would have to involve a secure connection, credit card information, etc. Honestly, I don't even know enough to know whether this is an absurd question. Just curious if anyone out there happens to know what the options ar...

I would prefer a free API that provides this functionality, but I am willing to look at quality commercial API's if they offer the services I need. Here are some I hav...
