I have no experience in SharePoint development. I work on a BI Product and it generates reports from a SharePoint site. Some of the columns in this SharePoint site are:
State Status Technical Legislation
When the columns - Status, Technical and Legislation are updated, I need to automatically update another SharePoint site. This site is not yet available, but it should have the following columns:
State Alert Reason Current Status Previous Status Status Last Updated Technical Last Updated Legislation Last Updated
Alabama Status Modified Active State Currently Implementing 8/13/2013
Legislation Updated 8/7/2013
Technical Updated 8/12/2013
If the Status, legislation or Technical is updated again for Alabama, then only the latest update should reflect in the new sharepoint site. Is this possible? How can it be done?

You will need to use custom code for this and develop an Event Receiver in Visual Studio. Event receivers are attached to lists (or libraries or sites) and fire when an event occurs. In your case it sounds like you would need to implement the ItemUpdated event and then run some custom process at that point.
Here is a good tutorial on this:

Currently we are using HP ALM 11 at our company to keep track of defects and change requests! While logging a defect or change request we specify the module in which the defect was found or changes required. Is there a way to customize this tool so that we can assign developers to modules? And later on whenever the defect or change request has been made in specific module, each developers that belongs to that modules gets notified?
Since you are talking to automate the HP QC, then you should have a look at two possibilities:
VX-API or the most recent REST-API.
Then it will be not so difficult to create automatically test/test-set/run/defect.
You can then assign a defect to a team or person and every time that the defect got modified/updated you can trigger a mail to the responsible people.
Unfortunately creating this kind of automation will require a bit of time and patience.
For instance I found ok a good start by using requests module in python and connecting to HP QC ALM REST api.
Full documentation is available on HP site and it's free :-)
Hope this help you a bit understanding your future tasks.
Have a nice day!
I'm currently developing a simple program for my company to approve and acknowledge request, using Visual Studio NotifyIcon to help showing notification via BalloonTip. However, I'm unable to show 2 BalloonTips in the same time, but instead the latter notification overwrites the first BalloonTip.
Is there a way to show multiple BalloonTips without the old one being overwritten?
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 with .Net Framework 4.0 to develop the program.
Thank you before.
Best Regard,
Jeff
I'm not sure whether "sideloading" is the correct term: Is therea an API to programatically install an Office Javascript API based add-in (e.g. a Task Pane app) in to the current / specific document on the desktop (at least on Windows)?
VisualStudio does this when you debug an App for Office project. How do I go about achieving the same?
There is no current way to programmatically insert an app (now "Office Add-in") into a document via JavaScript. It is a scenario that the product group is aware of, but it's not something we have yet.
You can insert an it via the Open XML SDK (which is actually how Visual Studio does this), but that would be .NET code running outside of the Office add-in (and not on the currently open document). Visual Studio in particular is atually inserting an app registered into the special local registry-based "Developer Store", but I can't think of any reason why wouldn't work for an actual Office-Store or SharePoint App Catalog-hosted app. If you are interested in going this route, let me know, and I might be able to find some pointers on the code you'd need to write.
Finally (though it probably goes without saying), you can insert an app into a Template, rather than a regular document. That way, anyone creating a document from that template would get your add-in -- I believe that's what the Paypal Invoicing add-in in Excel does, for example.
Hope this helps,

The task I am looking at is to automate the process of creating new users on a Lync 2010 server. Looking at the Lync Server SDK, this only allows creating new phone calls and sending IM. I'm looking for an interface to automate administrative task.
What I don't want to do in first place is to parse the web interface. Does anyone know of anything that might help?
There is a certain number of PowerShell cmdlets I wasnt aware of. The complete list can be found in the Documentation.
I don't find the good step-by-step guide I once came across, but there are several others out there that descript how you connect your PowerShell to the Lync Server (like this).
I haven't tested any of these scripts, but Microsoft also provides a list of useful scripts to administrate Lync (link).
The problem I was initially looking for was: How do I hide disabled user accounts in the Lync Contact list. This can be done by ticking the checkbox "Hide user from global address list" in Exchange (Note: when this is done via e.g. VBScript it takes some time before the GAL is updated, in my case the account first vanished from GAL and the next morning it also disappeared from the Lync Contact List).
My company uses outlook as the email client and we login to an exchange server. Out address book (not individual contacts) has all the users connected to our company network.
Our company dont have IM ;-( .. I am thinking about developing an outlook plugin like Gmail's Gtalk . is this possible(technically)? Or how difficult it is? Will I be able to get the list of all users (from address book) who have opened their outlook so that I can show them in the online list?
Can I do this without a DB (just sent the message to the recepient and show them)?
Outlook development is new for me and the links in this question did not help me much (very confusing). Where can I get some basic tutorials to begin with?
Edit: I have worked with VBA in outlook. So if the above can achieved using VBA the it would be great ;-) Is that possible?
VBA is an old method of building Office plug-ins and has since been replaced with just a more straight forward VB/C# module coding method. VBA plugins from Office 2003 should work alright in Office 2007, but it's no longer the suggested method if you're looking at Office 2007 + 1.
If you're using Visual Studio 2005, look for information on the Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) Second Edition add-on on MSDN. If you're on Visual Studio 2008, the VSTO packages should come with the Professional editions (or higher) by default. It'll have all the templates for building add-ons for the Office suite. Going with this new direction of coding add-ons, anything should be possible.
I've personally never tried to make any sort of server/client solution, so I'm not helpful on that front, but I thought I'd put that information out there for you to consider in your planning stage of making the chat solution.
As a note, the non-individual (Exchange) address book is also known as the Global Address List (GAL).
Outlook 2010 includes instant messaging:
Use instant messaging services with Outlook
Microsoft Outlook can be used with several instant messaging services.
You can tell if your contacts are available for a real-time online
chat, audio and video conferencing, or file sharing.
Note Online status is available for any person whose instant
messaging e-mail address that you have added to your instant messaging
contact list. In addition, online status is shown for people using
Microsoft Office Communicator, regardless of whether they are on your
instant messaging contact list.
