Wikipedia People API - dbpedia

I want to use wikipedia API to list the peoples whose birthday is on particular date.
Anybody has used it before? Please advice me in right direction.

Wikipedia doesn't provide this information directly, try DBPedia.

Learning Netsuite

I am starting to learn Netsuite, since that is required for our New project.
I am completely new to it. Currently I am working on PHP.
As suggested by my manager I created the developer account on it. But I have no Idea about It. So if someone can spare to answer my below questions than I will be very greatful.
Do i need to learn JavaScript for that?
Is here any other technology that will be needed ?
Are there any free webresources that can give me the insight on this?
How long will it take to learn netsuite once My javascript is done?
Thanks in advance.
Glad
Yes you'll need Javascript. The entire API of NetSuite is written in Javascript. If you get the basics of if statements, for loops and understand how objects and functions work, its a pretty good foundation to start with.
That really depends on what you want to achieve. NetSuite's API will allow you to integrate to other platforms, APIs etc using a range of different things. This one is more a "what do you want" type question.
The UserGroup for NetSuite is a good place to start. That is free. The documentation help has examples which will get you started. I'd start small and then go from there. Ie. How do I get a field value? Read, Develop, Test. Then move on to "How do I set a value" Read, Develop, Test etc etc. You'll learn more and you'll be a better developer for it.
I've been coding in NetSuite for over 7 years for a range of clients. Fair to say you never "learn" NetSuite. It continues to evolve and you evolve with it.
Hope this helps.
Welcome to Netsuite family !! You may want to explore some basic about Netsuite. I would recommend to explore the NS help center as you gotten with a DEV account. Start with simple things and then move on to advance i.e APIs and integration level.
Responding to your quires :
(1) Do i need to learn JavaScript for that?
As you have mentioned you're coding ground is PHP, I guess you already have minimum expose to javascript and some functional programming. You dont need to be an expert to startup with. If you're completely noob to coding then you may want to explore some baics here to start with javascript.
(2) Is here any other technology that will be needed ?
I would say it much depends on your business needs. Netsuite supports both Rest & SOAP based access. For Rest access you need to know javascript as the API's are completely build upon on Suitescripts (NS dependent javascript) and for SOAP based access you can use either JAVA,.NET or PHP.
(3) Are there any free webresources that can give me the insight on this?
The very obvious place is the NS help center where you can explore more in details.You also may request for a membership in NS user group here.
(4) How long will it take to learn netsuite once My javascript is done?
Netsuite is not only limited to javascript or any specific programming. There are alot of things you need to lean apart from javascript. Remeber Learning never exhausts the mind !! ;)
Cheers!
Happy Learning.. :)
Yes you need only basic information about javascript. We are using here suitescript language. you are already familier with programming so it will not be difficult for you.
For integration purpose you may be need.
May be.
It will take hardly 1 month. First you learn manual , later you start coding. It will helpful for you.
Here are the answers to your fairly vague questions:
Yes
Yes
Probably
1 month - 10 years
Should you require more granular answers please provide me with further details.

Playlist for "all songs" and organizing alphabetically

I am wondering if there is anywhere I can to give suggestions to the developers. I love spotify and I use it daily, at least! There are just a few things that I think would be great improvements. Such as, adding a playlist that includes all songs in every playlist that you, personally make. Or something similar to that. It would also be really helpful and convenient if you had the option to organize playlists alphabetically. Please let me know if there is a place where these ideas can be heard!
Thanks!
This is a great point and this is a problem that we've recognised as well. We're currently working on new ways of creating a discussion between third party developers and the teams that works on the APIs, so please stay tuned and have a look at the Developer site from time to time. If you've got feature suggestions for Spotify in general, there's the Spotify Ideas forum. We also monitor #SpotifyPlatform on Twitter for API related topics.

tagging content with geolocation

I am trying to develop an application where users will post content. It is a user-generated application, so every post will have a location attached to it, so that it can be filtered later for other users in that area or city.
For example: say users can list books on my website to sell. Now while listing I want to provide them a text box where they can enter a location. Now the entered location should be valid, so how do I verify that?
Also after posting the book, someone else searches for a book in his location then he/she should not only get results for his location but other nearby locations too.
These are few of my questions. If someone can answer them and guide me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
To verify people's location, you'll want to use the HTML5 geolocation capabilities. Take a look here for a demo: http://merged.ca/iphone/html5-geolocation
Searching nearby is a bit trickier, but there are a few options. You could use a geocoding service (Google and Bing for example both offer geocoding REST APIs) to determine if people are in the same city, zip code, etc. Perhaps a better solution is to use database queries to search for nearby posts. Many databases now offer built-in geospatial data types to support exactly this kind of scenario. MySQL for example: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-spatial-datatypes.html

Mobile check in API with embedded form

I'm looking to pull some information off of the people that check into my location to learn a bit about them. The plan is to offer them a special through foursquare once they've completed the form. Has anyone done this? Is it even possible?
See https://foursquare.com/business/merchants/claiming for information about claiming your venue and https://developer.foursquare.com/overview/merchants for the relevant API endpoints.

Linking to scripts or images will change page rank?

If i create some useful services like some dynamic free photos or some useful java scripts, for example http://www.mysite.com/ipaddress.jpg
and then other websites use this image or script in their webpages... dose it count for link popularity for me (inbound link) and does it increase my website ranks from google point of view?
Like Emiswelt said, no one knows Google's secret algorithms, ask a SEO.
However, most conventional crawlers only follow anchor tag hrefs.
If you search for filetype:.jpg on Google, you will not get any image results and only actual pages are shown. Images and javascripts cannot have any outbound links, and thus pagerank is probably not applicable to them.
As others have said, the actual system is top secret, but all the major search vendors support things that help describe images better, in particular RDF (Resource Description Framework). It is probablly your best bet at providing information about your images in the most useful way that will hopefully give them an appropriate page rank.
The PageRank value reflects the importance of certain web pages an not that of a whole web site.
Nobody knows this exactly, google's algorithms are a big secret...
It probably does not boots your page rank (I sincerely hope not!), but there is no way to know for sure. Besides, if it boost it today, there's no guarantee it will still boosts it tomorrow.
If you are think of doing clever things just to boot your site's ranking, I'd think again. If you are too blatant about it and Google catches you, your site might get zero ranked. And as a user of Google, I think that is a good thing.
