Flutter is amazing but when your architecture needs the backend to be separate from the app. What are some options that will be good to consider?
Some options that I have looked at are: Node.js, Java, Dart & Firebase (Unsure whether Firebase can meet all the requirements as a sole backend of production-level apps)
We need to develop a full-fledged REST API which will be used in Production with the Flutter app.
Thank you
It really depends how much time you have, and you're willing to spend on your backend. If you're rushed and want an MVP as soon as possible I would suggest FireBase, It provide great a simple but efficient database and more tools like instant messaging, built-in push.
If you have more time and want to build you're own features, Node.js with Express and Mongodb would be perfect.
Have you looked into .NET Core Web Api? I have used on some projects on college together with MongoDb and works really well, I never try it with Flutter, but as a Api it works fine.
Edit: I just found this question, maybe it can help you Combining Flutter frontend with .NET Core backend for Android and iOS

I want to be able to contribute to Google Translate on my native language (Sinhala).
Although there is an online portal (http://translate.google.com/community/) where we can contribute to the translator by translating new phrases or validating existing translations, I would like to create my own, lightweight portal (maybe an Android app) for the contribution service. However, I was unable to find any public API for the translate contribution platform, despite a thorough Google search and a full search through the Google Translator Toolkit API forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!categories/translator-toolkit-api) (which seems to have been closed down since the end of 2012).
Currently my best hope is to mimic the request-response sequence followed by the online portal itself. For example, the following request is used by the online portal to fetch a question list for manual translation:
GET http://translate.google.com/community/question_list?sl=en&tl=si&client=t
However, it requires that all the related cookies are properly initialized and passed with the request, which would probably not be easy to mimic in a non-browser environment (such as an Android app). Hence I believe there's a better approach (maybe a yet undocumented API?) somewhere out there.
Does anyone know of any API for accessing this translation contribution feature?
Thanks in advance.
Please note: I am NOT looking for a way to improve Google Translate itself, but for contributing to the actual translation content as described under "How can I help?" in the Google Translate Community FAQ (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwS4CZzgZwmvoB9pAx4A6Yytmv7itk_XE968RMiqpMY/pub#h.e1ahmpftpdum).
P.S. I was initially planning to post this question on the Web Apps Stack Exchange, but after reading this post I decided to first try it here.
I'm one of the engineers behind Translate Community and I'm really excited that you want to see it on more platforms. We're currently under active development of the site and making it more accessible on mobile platforms without having to create dedicated native apps.
For the time being, we don't anticipate releasing a public API as the platform is under active development. Until we do release a public API, please don't use any http commands you find to create a separate app. Instead, just let us know how we can make the app a better experience for you and we'll work on making it better.
Thanks!

I have developed apps for 3 years and am now looking to build an app that uses TFL (transport for london) api calls. I was reading their guidelines and read the following:
"Distribution
Developers consuming TfL data and providing public services built on it are expected
to provide the hosting capacity necessary to serve those public consumers. You
should take our data and proxy it, you shouldn’t allow all your clients to hit our service
driectly. This is intended to reduce TfL’s cost liability for hosting and content delivery."
While I have done a lot of app development, I have never hosted my own proxy receiving responses from an api. I have searched the internet for tutorials on this (ideally specific to TFL, but general ones would be awesome too), but can't find any that help.
Does anyone know of any?
Spoke to TFL about the Bus Times and it turns out you don't need to run this data via a database and can instead have users making direct calls to the API via your iPhone app. Great news :-)

It was awhile since three20 was updated and their ipad support is a little buggy. i'm considering switching to a different framework or use the standard UIKit again. Their lead developer from facebook had started writing his own framework (https://github.com/jverkoey/nimbus) and it will probably take him awhile to copy everything.
I'm looking for a similar iOS framework to work with. Any suggestions? I really like the TTNavigator URLs logic and the TTTable data sources instead of the UITableViewDelegate.
Nimbus is an iOS framework whose feature set grows only as fast as its documentation. By focusing on documentation first and features second, Nimbus hopes to be a framework that accelerates the development process of any application by being easy to use and simple to understand.

How about learning the native frameworks?

Just wondering. I'm looking to build a small web application with a single page. It will essentially be a video chat page so I'm looking for an API I can use or any other solutions?
This would be run on a LAMP stack.
A SO search reveals lots of similar questions which are worth checking/contributing to.
It depends if you want something free or are prepared to pay but some things that come up are (mind I havent used any of these myself):

Look into WebRTC, it's a new technology by Google and doesn't require any plugins! It's still under development but the code is available and working at the moment!
I know it's a bit of advert, but you could try to look into http://www.addlive.com. We offer comprehensive set of APIs allowing you to build RTC apps on the web (JS bindings on top of a plug-in and native WebRTC if available) and native mobile and dekstop SDKs.
Vidyo.io can help with this. (Full disclosure: I work for Vidyo.) It provides a simple JavaScript API that supports WebRTC capable browsers and a plug-in for Safari and IE. We also have sample apps on our github page https://github.com/vidyo to help you create a page simile to what you're looking for.

I need to develop a small Flex application that needs to access a MySQL database. Since I have little experience in server-side Java, PHP programming I would prefer to use a library/framework that allows me to write SQL queries in ActionScript/MXML.
After a bit of research, I have come across two 3rd party libraries, AS3FlexDB(free) and Adobe Flex Connector for MySQL(45$). Initial tests with AS3FlexDB are promising, but I'm a bit afraid that I'll start to work on the project only to find out that I need a full-fledged back-end after all.
Do any of you have experience with these tools? If so, are they stable enough for production? Are there any such libraries for other relational databases(PostgreSQL in particular)?
Thank you!
Lawrence
this and CRUD like this and read this
AS SQL Lib and another one CRUD
and final happiness
Flex is a UI Framework and is not designed for database interaction. I strongly recommend you reconsider the approach and learn a server side language. You'll thank yourself in the long run.
that said, another option is FlexSQL. This is the first time I've heard of the two you mentioned.
I have no idea why people keep building these libraries. It's like trying to use a screwdriver and nails together. It is, in theory possible but better tools exist.
I agree that server-side db interaction is the way to go, but nobody has mentioned the possibility of web services. Use this article to create a number of web services that your flex client can connect to directly.
