I'm not sure if I am posting this question in the right place but I was wondering if anybody knew how I would make a plugin for illustrator?
Thanks...
You don't specify which version of Illustrator you are targeting, but you can find the SDKs for CS5 on Adobe's site. A bit of digging will probably reveal previous versions. The SDK will give all of the information you need to code and compile.

I want to automate a sequence of task on Adobe Premiere Pro CS6,
thats all repeating tasks, and while doing manually consumes lots of time, :)
that stars from: importing video file, image files, doc file-> making a sequence -> adding files on sequence with predefined height , width-> inserting scripts -> analyzing them -> adding marks on particular word on metadata-> and finally exporting it..
I want to make all these task automatically done with some scripts on adobe premier pro or anythign else...
appreciating
Premiere is scriptable, as are the other Adobe Creative Suite apps, using their Extendscript API. Extendscript uses javascript. There's an official Adobe IDE for it called Extendscript Toolkit, that has a script editor, debugger and a object model viewer.
There's one problem, for premiere the documentation is perplexingly scarce. It's a pity, because for other programs like After Effects there is a thriving community of developers doing amazing stuff with extendscript.
The Adobe Javascript guide is here and some class information specifically for Premiere can be found here.
If you are on the PC platform, try having a look at a free windows automation package such a AutoIT or AutoHotKey. I have been using AutoHotKey for several years now and this tool can be used to automate pretty much anything you can think of. It is a scriping language, there is a learning curve, but easy to use if you follow the many tuts and samples out there.
It doesn't seem to be officially supported, mentioned or used much (maybe because most user think programming is 'nerdy' stuff and don't touch it?) - anyways:

Unfortunately the documentation is scare and I don't know which version may support scripting (and which OS).
Where can I find documentation of Xcode's 4.3 configuration/customization features and functions? E.g., where/how do I install templates, editor color scheme, library files etc. Though I am looking for these specific answers, I would rather much prefer a book/site reference. Browsing Apple's developer site and built-in help is quite far from enlightening to my surprise...
the old SDK has dialog methods to present a simple UI for various tasks. this call has been removed from the SDK beta, and there doesn't seem to be anything to replace it. how are we supposed to implement this stuff now?
Are you referring to Facebook's Dialogs?
if so, those are supported in the 3.0 version of the iOS SDK via the DeprecatedHeaders
There are more details here, the example is specifically for the Feed Dialog:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/howtos/feed-dialog-using-ios-sdk/
Igy's answer is correct, and the link he listed is a good place to start when you need to use the deprecated headers.
Adding some details in terms of our plans; as you know we are starting to provide more native implementations for UI such as the FBFriendPickerViewController, etc. Meanwhile, there is still a need for UIWebView-based dialogs, and we will be adding additional support to the SDK for both native and webview dialogs. For now we are leaning on our backward compatibility with the previous SDK for dialog support. This gives us a chance to gather feedback on the direction we are taking the SDK, which will help to inform our future direction with dialogs and UI features in general.
Hopefully this helps to clarify the thinking a bit. We are eager to hear any feedback you have on the new UI components in the SDK. Thanks!
Ok I must be having a blonde moment, but for the life of me I can't find where to
download the ReSharper API, to use with the project I got from here.
Any help or links would be greatly appreciated.
Api information:
http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/open_api.html
You mostly need to reference various DLLs in the bin directory of the Resharper folder, then you can get started playing around.
If you don't have a license to the product, that would be an obvious prerequisite.
Edited to add:
Here's some ancient documentation, which may get you somewhere:
http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/documentation/help20/Introduction/openapi.html
And the developer forums:
http://devnet.jetbrains.net/community/resharper/resharper_eap
And occasional tutorials on their blog:
http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/
It's not really great documentation, but you probably will have at least a little bit of help from Xml Doc comments.
You can look at sources of ReSharper PowerToys, open sourced examples of small features done with Open API.
is there an open source solution that displays PDFs for online reading? It has to be searchable much like google books and if possible has the ability to display annotations?
By "online reading" I'll assume you mean without a PDF reader plugin on the client. In that case you'll need to convert to HTML
http://pdftohtml.sourceforge.net/
If you don't mind losing the ability to copy text then converting to PNG may give you a more accurate rendering
http://www.imagemagick.org/
Regardless of the output format you can manage your searching using the original PDF data. One technology for this is mnogosearch
http://www.mnogosearch.org/
Monogosearch uses pdftotext internally, you may find this useful if you want to write your own search routines. pdftotext is part of the Xpdf suite of utilities
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/about.html
All of the tools listed above are available on Windows or Linux
You may also be interested in the Vuzit DocuPub Platform: http://vuzit.com/products/docupub_platform
The display technology itself is not open source, but they provide an API to access their service, so perhaps it is worth investigating.
Don't know if you are looking a software to install or some service to pay for...
I've read a lot about www.getbackboard.com (this is not advertising, only reporting something I've read about, that maybe fits your needs.. ;)
Not sure if they do annotations, but both of these will show PDFs quite well:
http://pdfmenot.com
http://docs.google.com
ICEPdf recently released their code as open source. It is Java based.
PyPdf is really nice. It supports reading the text as well as encryption which I know that itextsharp does not.
Of course you'd have to program in python as IronPython's class libraries aren't quite to the point where you can ref them from another language and use them. (But I imagine they will be someday soon)
PyPdf
This is not open source, but check it out anyways. You can download a free trial of their SDK to try it out. Reading PDF's and their annotations is not simple and I wouldn't trust a production app to open source decoders.
Here is an online demo.

Another good pdf reader is FoxitReader.
