Google cloud video intelligence API samples for ruby

I am using google-cloud-ruby client library, I don't see any samples related to current implementation of google cloud video intelligence API. From where should I look out code samples of google cloud video intelligence API for ruby client library.
You can find some example in Google Cloud documentation - APIs and Ruby libraries under Video Intelligence API.
Also in All Video Intelligence code samples document you can find extra examples, unfortunately not each sample contains Ruby code.
I have created Feature Request in Issue Tracker to add more Ruby examples. You can find it here.
You also can indicate that you are affected by clicking on (+1) button and follow that thread as all updates could be track there.

Can I use Google API without Google Compute Engine? (Cloud SDK)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chk2rRjSn5o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMY0qDg16y4&t=491s
These series of videos use Google Compute Engine to access Google Cloud vision API.
But, I only want to use Google cloud vision API on my local computer.
I found Cloud SDK is an option but I don't understand how it works.
Does it link my computer to Google Compute Engine?
Then, do I still have to pay for the Engine?
To Sum up the question.
Is there any way that I only pay for Google Cloud Vision API without paying for Google Compute Engine?
TL;DR - Yes you can - they are separate services and you can use them either independently or combine them if needed. You pay only for what you use.
Google Compute Engine
The first youtube video link you shared is for using Google Compute Engine (GCE), which is an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) option in Google Cloud. You can use this to set up VMs, custom networks, instance groups, load balancers and other infrastructure.
Google Cloud Vision
Google Cloud Vision is a more specific service which helps you with just Image analysis. It is a service independent of Google Compute Engine and you need not use Google Compute Engine to use the Cloud Vision APIs (although you can do that too if you wish in the future).
In other words - yes, you need not pay for Google Compute Engine to use just the Cloud Vision APIs.
Both Cloud Vision and Google Compute Engine are cloud services part of Google Cloud Platform. Both of them require first creating a project (using Google Cloud Console) and setting up billing before you can use either of those services (or in fact any of the Google Cloud services).
Trying the Cloud Vision API
Here is a quickstart tutorial with detailed steps to try Cloud Vision API directly in the browser.
If you prefer using Cloud SDK and the Cloud client libraries, here is a detailed example with steps.

Conflict is using gcloud and google-api-client in ruby

I want to install gcloud 0.11.0, which is depandent on google-api-client version 0.8.3. However, in order to user Google Drive, I need 0.9+.
How can they reside together? Google specifically says - you can use them both... Huh?!
The Google APIs Ruby Client is a client library for using the broad set of Google APIs. gcloud is built specifically for the Google Cloud Platform and is the recommended way to integrate Google Cloud APIs into your Ruby applications. If your application requires both Google Cloud Platform and other Google APIs, the 2 libraries may be used by your application.
Have you tried using them both? The namespaces are different, so I believe it should work just fine.
Also, the next version of gcloud-ruby (due out soon) should be on 0.9.x.

Parse.com and ASP.Net Cloud code

I am new to Parse.com and used it's iOS SDK successfully to interact with Database at Parse.com as backend.
Now I am looking at creating a simple web service using ASP.Net and C# and want to deploy it to Parse.com Cloud. I googled extensively and not able to find any pointers on this. All the Parse Cloud Code documentation refers to writing Cloud Code using JavaScript.
Do Parse.com cloud supports ASP.Net and C#?
Parse cloud code runs on top of the Node.js Express framework with support for a limited set of npm modules.
You could deploy your ASP.NET web site to a service like Azure websites or another webhost and look at Parse's new webhook tool that lets Parse communicate with your web application.

Laravel: Google Cloud Storage and Google Compute Engine

I need to store user data to my google cloud storage bucket.
I'm running laravel on google compute engine.
Could someone assist with this?
I've found only tutorials for google app engine so far.
The Google Cloud Storage JSON API is a simple, JSON-backed interface for accessing and manipulating Google Cloud Storage projects in a programmatic way.
You will need to use Google APIs Client Library for PHP to send requests to the Google Cloud Storage JSON API. See the links below for more info and examples:
