According to the carto.com documentation it's possible (at least to some extent) to modify the styles of the map, but what if we have a requirement to use a style from snazzymaps.com?
Is it possible to integrate both services together?
Is there an easy way to convert snazzymaps styles to carto.com styles?
snazzymaps looks like a way to make google maps styles so that's for the basemap part. CARTO focuses in the overlay data you put on top of a basemap as thematic mappping.
That said, the standard BUILDER dashboards can't use google maps by default, you can use any XYZ tiles service like mapbox, carto.com basemaps and many others. Find here a guide on using external basemaps.
On the other hand, you can use CARTO JavaScript SDK to develop web mapping applications on top of both Leaflet and Google Maps so if you want to use the later with custom styles that's totally up to you. Here's an example on using CARTO.js with Google Maps from CARTO.com developers center.

We are maintaining a web based tool (written in Play 2.x Framework) which over the years has gained a lot of different technologies used. It is a mix between regular server generated pages with old school html/javascript/html buta also som jQuery and misc components that the developer at that time liked. The more lately added stuff are more interactive and uses a REST-API and React.
Usability is pretty good but the graphical design of it is awful. In the best of worlds we would redo the entire front and make it single page and extend the REST-API fully.
however, we don't have those resources but still apply a material design to it with a dark theme.
I have previously done a makeover on a similar but smaller web tool using Material Design Lite and that was quite smooth. However, that framework from what I can see does not support a dark theme and is also discontinued in favour for the Material Components.
Any suggestion on a good alternative?
Main requirements:
Uses a dark theme
Easy to integrate with both our old and newer stuff.
If you're use React you can try Material-UI.
If not you can simply make custom theme using Material Design.
I just recently decided to give NativeScript a try since I want to re-use my exp with Angular, but I wanted to know if it's possible to create an app that has the same or most similar styling across devices, like Youtube or Instagram for example, they are practically the same screens in different devices. If that's possible can I get a high level explanation of how this can be accomplished with NativeScript? I followed some tutorials and the first thing you notice is how the different tags translate to the different native components between Android and iOS, they are a lot of times very very different in style.
Edit: See the examples I gave, youtube and Instagram, I'm not talking about bringing Android materials to iOS or vice-versa. I'm talking about having a specific styling equal in both platforms.
Okay so I found that the best way to do this is by using platform-specific css to tweak and modify in order to achieve the same look in both platforms, more info here Platform-Specific CSS
I want to use image maps & http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/the-map-element.html#dom-map-images. I haven't seen much of this kind of usage(exception might be in case of HTML5 Canvas because one of the above link is of HTML5, not sure though) and since advent of jquery and other libraries. I guess there are more easier ways to implement this. So I was wondering if there are any libraries or better ways to implement image maps in jQuery Mobile or do I need to go with the old practice.
Thanks,
As per my knowledge image maps are not introduced in HTML5, but there are supported in all browser since many years.
I am not sure, what you want to achieve with jquery library, but I have used couple of years ago for highlighting image map areas,& it worked like a charm.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to use the MapKit Framework to enable users to see nearby friends/users on a map? I'm working on an app that resembles the Grindr/Blendr functionality only with a completely different purpose...
There are several good tutorials on how to use the map kit framework in general.
Here's a link to something that will get you started.
If you are interested in a framework that will create the map and add the nearby users to it (which is not a built-in feature in the map kit framework. You have to get these users' locations and add them yourself), you should take a look at Scringo
I would like to develop a WP7 application that has a map in one portion of the display. Since it needs to be stand-alone, I need a utility that has built-in maps and does not need to surf the internet in order to operate. Is there any technique present there in wp7 to do the same. Please help me to find a solution.
Not possible, since Bing Maps doesn't work offline.
I think you might be able to use your own maps in the Bing Maps control, so you could include them in your application, see here.
