Skype for business with node.js web integration - node.js

So i saw this post a few years back, the conclusion was there's no solution back then;
How to interface skype with a browser
I recently found that there's a skype-api; i couldn't figure out whether it's for making skype video/audio call through node.js back end or what.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/skype-api
https://www.npmjs.com/package/skype-rest
Can someone help me to understand:
1. What's the updated status to the previous question;
2. What's this skype-api got to do with skype

I highly recommand you to take a look at twillio.com it does everthing you could think of a phone system would do

NodeJS sample code for Vonage text-to-speech outbound phone call?

I'm trying to experiment with Vonage's outbound phone call using their NodeJS SDK. To that end, I'm working through their tutorial. However, all of the sample code they provide in the tutorial is missing: I only see black boxes, as below
I checked the source code of the page, and where the sample code should be there is only ..., that is, an ellipsis.
Is this happening for you, or just for me? I've tried three browsers, but same problem.
If it's happening for you, is there anything I can do about this, browser-side? I can't think of a thing...but am keen to get the page to work properly.
Thank you for raising the missing code snippets on that blog post. The education team is looking into it now.
The Vonage API Developer Portal has current up-to-date code snippets for making an outbound call using the Node.js SDK. You can find the link here for making an outbound call with the instructions ("NCCO") or the link here for making an outbound call and providing a webhook to the API where it will fetch the NCCO instructions.

Getting skype status from Javascript/Node

So I've been looking around for answers but haven't been able to find any up to date solutions to my problem. So my use case is pretty simple, I want to be able to check the online status of a list of users at my organisation using Skype for Business. Opening chats with them is simple enough, but actually getting the online status has shown to be a challenge.
I've been looking into the SDK but it seems a bit over the top for my use case, and I haven't been able to get web ticket authentication working (I'm implementing this in an Electron app). Even if I got that far, would I have to make an account with specifically only the contacts I need added and use that as authentication?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but it seems like the SDK/API is a bit over my level and I'm missing something. Do I need to add in my own server middleware between the node/electron-app and their API or something similar maybe?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

How to develop Spotify Desktop Applications, now Libspotify is discontinued

have done my due diligence, and not found any other posts that answer this question, but as usual, if you know a similar question, point me that way!
I noticed a long time back that Libspotify has been dicontinued:
(https://developer.spotify.com/technologies/libspotify/)
So, my question is - what should we do for developing Desktop applications?
They do state: "We hope to be able to provide you with a new library for other platforms." But, this has been going on since 2015!
I have seen many projects in GitHub still using Libspotify - so what should we do? An update was promised "in the upcoming months" but I've not seen anything yet.
What should we do for developing Desktop Applications?
We at Spotify don't currently provide playback as part of our platform offering outside of our iOS and Android SDKs, and I don't have any updates on that at the moment. As mentioned on the website, we hope to be able to provide playback SDKs for more platforms in the future. We don't support any new development on libspotify.
You can use the Spotify Web API to interact with Spotify in a variety of ways, including getting information about metadata, and accessing/modifying user libraries and playlists, which may be useful. You can also use the Applescript API to control playback on macOS, which may also help.
The Spotify Web API is pretty straight forward to use. Of course it defines the protocol rather than implements it so it is OS independent.
I put together a few classes to help unwrap some of the JSON parameters simply. These were written in Swift for macOS.

How do I get my MonoTouch app deployed to device/app store now?

Over the last couple months I've been developing an app with the free version of MonoTouch.
Now (at the time of this question) it seems Novell killed it, and now that my app is ready, not really sure where to go. If I understand correctly, to deploy to device or package for app store, I need to get a license; do I buy one from Novell, or what? Should I just find a MonoTouch contractor that can take care of that part for me for now?
Hoping to get some wisdom from some seasoned MonoTouch folks on this one...
The Novell Store is still up, and as recently as this weekend someone reported that the activation server is still working.
However, if you don't want to risk spending money on a license right now (and I don't blame you) your best bet is to get someone with an active MT license to help you.
in order to submit an application to the appstore, you need to have an apple developer account (developer.apple.com), generate a .ipa file and submit it through your mac's application Loader/iTunes connect. More info here
(http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/Xcode/Conceptual/iphone_development/145-Distributing_Applications/distributing_applications.html)
However, i am not sure but i think that in order to properly generate the .ipa file you need a MonoTouch license..
Over the weekend Novell/Attachmate took down the Monotouch website database. This has killed the website. I don't think it will be back.
In the short term your best bet is to find another MonoTouch user and see if they will put your application up.
Now the database is down, I'm guessing the forums have gone. Someone setup a google group before this happened hopefully this will get some traction. http://groups.google.com/group/monotouch?hl=en-GB
Xamarin have announce that they shall be launching MonoTouch and MonoDroid compatible products in the next 3 months.

Twitter Status updating Issue with oAuth in iPhone

Hope You all are fine and also in one of your best of moods.
I have an issue with twitter status updating.
As I am using oAuth API for Twitter Integration in my iPhone, I found a sample code , and run it. code is quite useful, but i found the functionality for updating status is not working, and functionality of getting status works.
I found sample code from the link :
http://github.com/jaanus/PlainOAuth
I have tried lot, before posting this issue here. kindly have a look and help me out to solve the issue.
Looking Forwards.
Arun Thakkar.
Not sure what the specific problem is, but I remember having to do a fair amount of head-banging to get Twitter OAuth to work.
Nevertheless, I have a working implementation in one of my public GitHub projects. Feel free to use it—apps based on it have already been approved into the App Store.
