Video conferencing with Kinect - kinect

I am doing a project about video conferencing using Kinect.
However, I am not familiar with C#. Therefore, I would like to ask if there are books or/and websites available explaining how to program with it.
Remarks: I do it by Kinect SDK
Thanks

These three books might help you out :
Start Here!™ Learn Microsoft® Visual C#® 2010
Start Here!™ Fundamentals of Microsoft® .NET Programming
Start Here!™ Learn the Kinect™ API (Good book if you're new to Kinect SDK

This site has excellent examples of code. It's a good way to start.

Creating and using DLL in Symbian c++

i am new in symbain. i have no idea how to create symbian dll and using it in a symbian application.
i am looking some sort of tutorial or guide for:
1. how to create a dll in symbian c++?
2. how to use the created dll in an symbian app?
thanks in advance.
Start at hemelix, especially here and here, then take a look at the official documentation at Nokia Symbian Belle Developers' Library which also contains examples (for example here and here).
(Let me warn you though: Symbian development is really tough. Think twice before diving in...)

General tutorial on OS X audio programming

I would like to do some fairly simple audio programming on OS X (using Lion and Xcode 4.3) -- synthesizing tones with given frequencies, mainly. Trouble is, Apple's documentation on the subject is way too high-level for my current knowledge of the subject. I've searched for weeks now for something that will get me started, to no avail.
Does anyone know of some Core Audio basic tutorial, or even some sample code, that will help me do fairly simple Core Audio tasks so that I can progress to understanding the Apple documentation?
I would suggest the book Learning Core Audio There is also sample code from the book at that site.
If you are looking to synthesize audio fairly easy, you are going to want to use a 3rd party library. Two possible solutions are FMOD and SuperCollider.
The pros and cons between the two are really that supercollider runs as a server that you can connect from app as a client and FMOD is compiled into an app and uses core audio to synthesize the sound. FMOD is clearly the choice if you are planning on distributing this app. SuperCollider also has it's own language that you'd have to learn the basics of to start tailoring your sounds synthesis. Here are some links:
FMOD:
FMOD Downloads (Comes with a bunch of sample code)
Super Collider:
SC Server Download
Sine Wave Generator Sample App
Great source of SC scripts and examples

How to Learn Prism for Silverlight Fast?

I need to make Silverlight application With Prism. What could be best way to learn to make simple application with Silverlight + Prism? Also suggest any Good books for same.
Thanks.
I also have the book mentioned by 'daageu', and would also recommend it.
But to accelerate the process of learning Prism even faster, I recommend the video series presented by Mike Taulty and available for free on Channel 9.
It's a nine part series, and his introduction to the Unity Container, for example, is about the best you'll get, and you'll be up to speed on that component in about an hour.
Once you have downloaded and watched the videos, you can use the book as a vehicle to become an expert.
NOTE: actually, the 'quick starts' included in the kit are pretty transparent and understandable as well...
Great book, I started with this book myself:
Developer’s Guide to Microsoft® Prism 4: Building Modular MVVM Applications with Windows® Presentation Foundation and Microsoft Silverlight®
look this url, it will be helpful for you: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/229931/Understand-MVVM-Using-PRISM-by-Hello-World-Silverl

Setting up Voice Commands in my VB.net application

I wanted to put voice command options into my application. I read stuff online about grammers and SAPI but I can't seem to figure out how to actually use it in my VB.net applications. Does anybody know of any good guides or tutorials for me to use to get started on the subject?
Thanks :)
There is a pretty good tutorial with code sample here that provides a fairly thorough walkthrough of the APIs and discusses the differences between SAPI 5.1 and 5.3.

Tips for transitioning from Visual Basic to Xcode

I've been programming in VB.net for a while now, and I finally got access to a mac to make ipod apps. What are some useful sites, videos, etc. that could help me get used to Objective C and the Xcode IDE? I've stumbled upon the samples on the apple dev site, but none of them really give good examples which I could learn the syntax of the language from.
Thanks for the help, Objective C is really a big change from VB.net!
Here are some helpful starter references from the Apple site, first for Objective-C itself, then for the Cocoa frameworks.
Learning Objective-C: A Primer
Cocoa Fundamentals Guide
There are also "getting started" videos available from http://developer.apple.com/iphone (you have to register as a developer to get access, but that's free)
You might want to take a look at MonoTouch if you like working with .Net. As far as I'm aware, it only works with C#, but it will let you use the .NET api to program for the iPhone. Might be worth looking into if you don't want to learn Objective C.
