Analytics solution for Windows 8 javascript application? - windows-8

What is the preffered method for analytics (e.g. tracking application usage) for a Windows 8 Javascript application? Can I integrate Google Analytics somehow? Or could I use another approach (e.g. Pikwik, Clicky etc)?
Thanks!

Just found the most appropriate solution for this: Google Analytics server-side tracking (no need to update client application serving XML content)

Can I Integrate Zapier in my Website With all its Capabilities?

I have a Usecase in which i need to integrate all the capabilities of zapier,like zap creation ,creation of a workflow etc via my website (not an app) which is not related to zapier in any ways.
In short i need to give my Website Users ,all privileges that zapier provides.
Is that possible ?
if yes ,Please help me with the api's available for such an integration.Looking forward for a help.
Zapier does not have an API or whitelabel option that would allow for this - Zaps can only be created via zapier.com. The only exception is the Partner API, which allows Zapier integrations to embed and display their own Zap Templates - details on that here: https://zapier.com/developer/documentation/v2/partner-api/. That's only accessible if you've built an app on Zapier's platform.

Test Mraid on Device

I want to test Mraid (http://www.iab.net/mraid) on mobile application, but I can't find a good solution.
in this link :
https://github.com/mikerowehl/mraid-testing
He describes about device testing but it is for 3 years ago and doesn't work now.
i want to use my own server to push mraid ad to my application for testing like this now.
How can I have a testing application?
How should I do in server?
As you already know Mraid compatible Ads contain HTML+ Javascript(And javascript uses Mraid API).
Since you don't have any server that delivers Mraid Ads to you.What I would do is simply create some index.html resource file inside your APP and load this resource within the webview where you want to load the Ad.
E.g. In IOS check this stackoverflow link for:how to load javascript into webview from local resources
Just create some basic Mraid Ad (there are lots of examples on this site https://wiki.operamediaworks.com/display/AMS/MRAID+Sample+Ads and I usually use this mraid diagnostics Ad to test all the mraid related functionality http://admarvel.s3.amazonaws.com/demo/mraid/MRAID_v2_diagnostics.txt).
Hope it helps!
MRAID - Mobile Rich Media Ad Interface Definitions - allows to use device(native) functionality from HTML/JS code.
[Android principle implementation]
IAB describes a common API but a technical part is provided by Ad SDK and consists of:
mraid.js
custom WebView
For testing your implementation you can use next resources:
IAB webtester tool
IAB SDK tester
IAB tags, admarvel tag

Netflix Client on VB.NET, How to make it run Silverlight and needed extensions?

I'm developing a netflix client on vb.net, and i need it to run silverlight and needed extensions that netflix requires to display the video stream.
how can i change webbrowser from default to another one that works with my needs, and what browser is that?
If you're looking for a different web rendering engine you should try the Gecko web engine. From my experience it is much faster than the traditional IE engine and more compatible with plugins and web content. The engine integrates well into VB.NET applications so using it in your program should work. The engine itself does stream videos from netflix if that's the intent. you can download this rendering engine just from searching it but for convinience I'll put a link to a site where you can find it here.

Does 'google-drive' Web Component replaces the Google Drive Web APIs?

The google-apis together with google-drive makes it super easy to add Google drive app integration to websites. But it seems that it doesn't have many options other than uploading files using app to the user google drive account.
I want to allow users to upload large files to my own google drive storage, will google web components achieve such task or I will need to dive into Google Drive Web APIs server side scripting, using PHP as an example.
Will Google Web Components support more features in the future like allowing users to upload to app google storage (my own google drive) ?
Thank you.
Google Web Components not Polymer components. They are wrappers around Google API's like Drive. That said, I would pose this question in the context of the Drive API rather than in Polymer.

Java API for interacting with the Google Search Appliance

I want to do web search with java and I found GSA-JAPI does it work on web searching or it's used only on a website which I created for example.
The GSA-JAPI's purpose is to access and manage settings in a Google Search Appliance, which is an enterprise product Google sells. You can't use the GSA-JAPI to script any web searches, only manage a Google Search Appliance. It's used as an alternative to logging into the web based Admin Console.
The GSA-JAPI is a wrapper that serializes the XML response from the Google Search Appliance into POJOs. Additionally, You can use it to initiate searches to the Google Search Appliance. It hasn't been updated in quite some time so new elements are not exposed (i.e. Dynamic Navigation)
