Where can I learn google cloud sdk with python? I have already have basic knowledge of python but how to implement gcloud sdk with real world problems?
Your question will likely be flagged by others as being "off topic" for Stack overflow.
Before that happens, hopefully I can squeeze in an answer ;-)
Google's documentation for its SDKs is generally excellent: comprehensive and definitive. Sometimes the examples are trivial but, they provide a template.
Rather than proceed from wanting to understand all (each Google [Cloud] service has SDKs in several languages), it may be better to decide what you'd like to do and then build a solution.
Each Google Cloud Platform service e.g. Compute Engine, has documentation that includes so-called client libraries and Python is always included.
One caveat,
For Google Cloud Platform (only) there are at least 2 different types of SDK for every language. The older, more common API Client Libraries and the (Cloud-only!) Cloud Client Libraries. There are also (increasingly?) gRPC-based services for which you can generate an SDK.
See Client Libraries Explained.

Is it possible to establish a connection between HP ALM and Appium to automate the test execution in ALM?
Yes, it is possible. You will have to use a different API for ALM. You've got 2 ways to achieve this:
Using HP-ALM OTA API (OTA API Reference: Click here)
Pros:
a.) OTA API is a huge C# API with enormous variety of functionalities which can be used.
b.) Object Based API. Most programmers can work easily use it.
Cons:
a.) Platform dependent. Need to register the OTA COM Client .dll in your local system (Windows) to use it.
b.) HP might migrate entirely to REST API in future and stop support/updates for COM API.
Using HP-ALM REST API (REST API Reference: Click here)
Pros:
a.) Platform independent. Does not require any client-side software to be installed/registered. Post HTML requests to a server and process the XML-formatted results.
b.) API of the future. HP might migrate entirely to REST API in future.
Cons:
a.) It primarily focuses only on simple CRUD operations of core entities in the client (CRUD = create, read, update, delete).
b.) Not all ALM functionalities exposed through this API.
You can also have a look at my git repo: myGitRepo. Have got 2 projects implemented using OTA COM API. Both have got a UI with functionalities to achieve several day to day manual tasks performed in ALM. There are several enhancements I am currently working on.
Have a look at Agiletestware Bumblebee. It provides integration with Appium and Selenium on a source code level with a set of Java annotations.
See the detailed guide here.

All,
I'm attempting to estimate the effort to port an app developed on Windows (.NET) to Linux (Mono). I came across the MoMA tool, which attempts to look through my .exe and find potential areas of incompatibility. Most of my issues appear to be centered around get/set of network settings, getting network info, etc. (Object ManagementBaseObject.get_Item and set_Item. etc).
In almost all of the cases, the Mono functionality is listed as "ToDo". For estimation purposes, is it safe to assume most/all of these have some kind of workaround? I would imagine this type of basic networking support must be included in the latest version of Mono. Or should I assume none of this is currently available and I would be stuck waiting for it to be implemented (or be forced to implement it myself)?
Thanks,
Dan
First,see Mono Compatible Networking/Socket Library. Also,take a look on Cross-Platform Network Applications with Mono. You can start with C# Network Library.
I have webspace and I was thinking of setting up a git repository on it.
If I am developing software and I want to host a repository (CVS, SVN, git, etc) online, is there any reason not to use a standard web hosting provider (GoDaddy, etc) to do this?
I'm thinking in terms of security, reliability, etc.
One reason for not using a standard-company is that usually shell-access is needed to setup a Version Control System (VCS). Many providers don't give shell access on normal webspaces.
When you are developing open-source software I'd recommend hosting at SourceForge, github, Google Code or similar providers, as your code is public there, you will get an issue tracker and several other tools that may help you. On github for example adding more developers to your project is very easy.
When you are developing closed-source software you still can use github, this gives you the same advantages as mentioned above, but of course it costs you a few bucks a month. Open-Source projects are free.
So while there is no real reason to not use standard hosting providers there are good reasons to use a company dedicated on hosting code.
As you asked especially for security: github (I use it as an example, as I host my code there as well) gives you a full list of information of what they do to ensure your code is safe.
I wanted to start with the smartcard programming soon. Please help me the things required for starting the learning using javacard. Which IDE (If any IDE Supports), Software and Hardware related? Like Mobile phone simulator is there any smartcard simulator or else if I have to buy a smartcard specify those cards where and how I can get?
A general answer regarding smartcard programming is that you should be ready to navigate a confusing list of tools and technologies. Typically smartcard developers begin with a specific hardware platform in mind: more specific than simply javacard.
Since you've specifically mentioned javacard, we can focus on a few starting points.
Javacard SDK
You might begin with the javacard dev kit. I haven't used the most recent - I'm still using 2.0.2. This dev kit is very command-line oriented, so expect to be doing most of your work outside an IDE. However, the documentation is pretty helpful and should get you up to speed pretty quickly. At any rate, it's a good place to start, since it's official.
EclipseJCDE also looks interesting, but I haven't used it. I seem to recall another project aiming to build javacard Eclipse tools, but I may just be thinking of EclipseJCDE.
IBM Tools
At one time IBM published and maintained a set of JCOP tools that integrated with the Eclipse IDE. The great thing about this is that they would send you a package containing some dev tools and a couple of JCOP cards. The annoying thing is that an activation code was required. Have a look here. The download link is still good, good luck with the email address listed there. Also note that these tools require an older build of Eclipse. The build/debug support is very good, including a built-in javacard simulator.
Global Platform
If you plan on doing javacard programming, you should also get to know Global Platform. It's a smartcard standard, and in the context of javacard, you'll need to know about the GP spec when you need to load and manage javacard applets. This is required for working with JCOP cards. For the latest GP spec search for GlobalPlatform Card Specifications. You'll need to be very familiar with basic smartcard concepts, e.g. APDUs.
Hardware
Hardware choices are too varied for me to make useful recommendations, beyond the JCOP stuff above. As I mentioned, if you can use the IBM kit then you'll get a good JCOP/javacard simulator with the Eclipse tools. I'm sure there are other card simulators available.
etc.
Beyond that there is a long list of other technical specifications employed by smartcard programmers, and unfortunately many of them aren't freely available (ISO docs). If you'll be doing GSM programming, I think you can get to all of the GSM specs, search for ETSI GSM specifications. GSM 11.11 is particularly useful for learning more about APDU command/response, without access to ISO specs, e.g. ISO 7816-4.
Share two new Free tools that I am using to learn javacard here.Hope to help others get started with javacard easily.
JCIDE: It is an Integrated Development Environment designed specifically for the Java Card programming language.
PyAPDUTool: It is a handy tool which can communicate with the card via the reader connected to PC. It is a PC/SC compliant application.
I know amazon has several api's but I was wondering what language and tools does amazon use to build their api, is it java and soap? Im not sure if all the api's are created the same way, but if not then how is the one for mobile apps created? Thanks!
Amazon are notoriously secretive about the internals of their systems so I don't think you'll find a satisfactory answer.
The AWS APIs, as far as I know, use Java internally & they use plenty of C++ to run their shopping website
