Adobe Creative SDK Image Editor cancelled next month - adobecreativesdk

According to here:
Developer support for the Image Editor UI, Color UI, Market Browser, and Labs components will be discontinued after the November 2017 release and the Creative SDK team will no longer be able to answer any integration-related questions or address any crashes or bugs that you may come across for these components. We encourage you to reach out to our Help Center prior to the November 2017 release.
and
The Image Editor UI, Color UI, Market Browser, and Labs components will no longer be available to integrate in new applications (iOS, Android, web).
What are everyone's plans for replacing Image Editor? Is there anything equivalent?

I've found Photo Editor Sdk. I 've just contacted them about the pricing, and I'm waiting for a reply. Let's see how it goes.

I am trying to develop an Add-In for Microsoft Word on macOS. I am not familiar with Microsoft doc, could somebody bring me in the right direction?

I am trying to develop an Add-In for Microsoft Word on macOS. The Windows version of the Add-In is already in development, but I don't have access to its source code. It seems like the following is the 'landing' page for developing Add-Ins for Office:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/
The above documentation seems to say that Add-Ins have to developed using web-technologies, and, upon examination of existing, Third-party, Add-Ins, this seems to be the case at least for the UI. What I don't understand, is, if the entire plugin has to be written using web-oriented languages, or if there is a macOS oriented SDK that allows to implement at least the underlying logic using a macOS native SDK, perhaps using Objective-C or Swift. I was hoping that somebody more expert could bring me in the right direction. Thanks for your attention.
There is no platform specific SDK for developing Office add-ins. You can use web technologies for developing cross-platform Office add-ins, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/overview/office-add-ins for more information.
You also can use AppleScript for automating tasks in Word on the MacOS.

how to reset Xamarin license

I am using Xamarin with Visual Studio 2015.
A few days ago I upgraded my Xamarin-account from the standard/free license to a trial-business license, however since then I decided that I don't need the business license. So now I want to return my account to the normal/free version/license (because the apps built with the trial-business-license only work for 24 hours).
However it is not clear to me at all how to reset the license of my Xamarin-account.
I guess a solution would be to make a new Xamarin-account, however this seems a unsatisfactory solution to me.
Just log out of your Xamarin Account and you should automatically be using the community edition.
If you need your Xamarin account to get components from the component store and this trial stuff is giving you problems. I advise you to contact Xamarin and have them help you clear out your issues.
Make sure that your Visual Studio is up to date.

API for Powerpoint add-in (Windows and Mac)

Is there a new API for developing add-ins for Office 2016 for Mac? I have seen a javascript API but I have not clear if this applies to Office for Mac 2016, Office for Windows 2013+ only or Office Web Apps only.
Please point me to an official documentation clarifying that.
Update, April 2016: MS recently made some announcements about Mac support at Build; primarily around Word & Excel. Interactive chart similar to the image below
Eventually, but not yet. The only thing that is in for Mac is Outlook Read apps.
This is an image they've shared:

Lync 2013 Profile picture extension

Our company recently switched to Lync 2013 and I noticed that under "Settings/My Profile Picture" there is no longer an option to specify a profile image. In Lync 2013 you could at least set a picture with less than 30kb that is hosted on a webserver.
The funny thing is I can use my Lync 2013 server account with the old Lync 2010 client and then I'm still able to set a profile picture (tested & woks).
Seems as Microsoft just killed this feature in the client but not on the server (LOL!?!?).
I would like to write a tool to be able to set a picture without having to install the old Lync 2010 client. Any hints, solutions or something to read?
Update as of 12/11/2013
The latest Lync update (Lync Client CU3 (November Update)) has the option to set a photo added back to the GUI.

Original Answer
This question comes up more often. It's indeed just a user interface change between the Lync 2010 and 2013 clients, the option to set an image URL has been removed. Underwater this option is still available though, and you can publish a Photo URL to the server from a user endpoint, or from a powershell admin screen as posted in GodEater's answer.
I answered with a description on how to publish photos using a user endpoint (wheter from client SDK or UCMA) here: Display User Picture in Lync 2013
Someone's implemented this as a powershell script here (and I've tested that it works on our Lync 2013 infrastructure) :

question about the datePicker available for windows phone

I'm just starting with windows phone development and was trying to get the datePicker to work. Searching for tutorials, all seem to be pointing to a reference to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows
Phone\v7.0\Toolkit\Nov10\Bin\Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit.dll
The problem is that i don't have this file (and after a computer search this file doesn't exist at all in my computer) so after looking some more, a found this link that says that i must install the toolkit. This seems quite not right(i was thinking this feature was fully integrated, not a alternate design being such a key-feature).
Analysing the feed i got from google, those link are pretty old(september - november 2010). Has Microsoft redesigned the method to acces dataPicker or is this method still the current official one?
I'm not fully sure of the reason but from the codeplex page:
Straight from Microsoft, both the Silverlight Toolkit and Silverlight
for Windows Phone Toolkit provide the developer community with new
components, functionality, and an efficient way to help shape product
development. Toolkit releases include open source code, samples &
docs, plus design-time support for the Windows Phone platform as well
as the Silverlight browser plugin.
The easiest way to pick and choose what components to install is probably via NuGet.
http://nuget.org/List/Packages/SilverlightToolkitWP
This is more or less the current way. The main changes are that there's now an easier way of getting the toolkit using NuGet and there is a later release that supports WP7 Mango.
I'd recommend getting the sample app so you can see good examples of Toolkit however.
Just download and install the Toolkit which is readily available in the following link,
Silverlight Toolkit.
Then Add reference to the Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit.dll in the installed folder.
Then you can access it with adding the xaml code,
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Phone.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Phone.Controls.Toolkit"
