Does anyone have instructions/resources/step by step guidance to enable me to use my iOS on my iPad to remotely continue developing some test driven development to execute Powershell session with Pester on my Win 10 desktop.
My sense of networking skills needs an upgrade as I wasn't sure which apps on both sides I need to configure and set up correctly.
Not sure if Powershell web feature does allow me this. The idea of doing this is to relax on my couch with the iPad instead of sitting at my desk using the desktop. :)
Thanks.

I have written a JavaFX app running on Windows 10 machine in the office which has problems showing (painting/rendering) certain embedded controls such as a Pane with PdfBox when I connect to it with Remote Desktop for Mac. It shows only a black screen in the app instead of the pdf document.
When I connect using RDP from my Windows 10 machine at home to my Windows 10 machine at work, the app works just fine (the pdf is shown in the app).
I have the same problems using AnyDesk and Teamviewer.
The app only shows PDFs properly using a connection from Windows 10 to Windows 10 with Microsoft RDP.
It might be a JavaFX issue. Similar issues are described here (although not 100% identical):
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8239589
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8229394
However, since I guess Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac is using the same technology as the Windows Desktop client, I would have expected it to work fine.
I have a Mac Mini M1 running the latest OS (Monterey) at the time of writing this post. I am also using the latest Remote Desktop client for Mac.
This problem is not new and was also present in older releases.
I have tried to play around with screen resolutions, both on Host and Client but nothing good came out of those tests.
Disabled also hardware acceleration in Remote Desktop for Mac preferences but it didn't change anything.
The machine at the office has the following specs (which I cannot change nor update)
Edizione Windows 10 Pro
Versione 20H2
Data installazione: 10/09/2021
Build sistema operativo 19042.1415
Esperienza Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3920.0
Anyone else who has seen this problem and perhaps resolved it?
Could it be a bug in either PdfBox or Remote Desktop for Mac?
Except for the above issue, the Remote Desktop Client for Mac is working great (not lagging as TeamViewer or AnyDesk) and the user experience is phenomenal.
PS: While this might be considered a programming question (since I wrote the app with JavaFX) but it might be better to post on another forum? If yes, which one? On the other hand, many similar posts (look at the suggested thread on the right) have been upvoted despite not dealing with programming issues.
Thanks.
How do you use PDFBox? I ask because this is not a JavaFX component. If you use a SwingNode for that it might be interesting to try one of my two PDFViewer demos here and see whether the problem persists.

The difference is in how I do the rendering and maybe that makes a difference for your use-case too. But of course this is just a wild guess and I can't promise anything.
My next work project is going to be using the Meteor framework. Our team recently got licensed to use WebStorm IDE, which has been our favorite up until this point. so we were planning on continuing the project with it.
That is, until it was time to install it. Then we found out that the Windows version of Meteor is only partially finished, and all of our development PC's are windows based.
So we were considering as a work-around for this, we may use Cloud9 as our development IDE, as it supports Meteor. The sharing functions may help our team productivity a bit as well.
But this has some problems...
First, we just invested in WebStorm, so we would ideally like to use it as our primary IDE. But I do not know how we would be able to work with WebStorm if we can not run an up to date version of Meteor on our windows systems?
Second, I'm not sure if it's even possible to use Cloud9 as the development IDE, but then move the C9 project over to our Ubuntu server for hosting when it is time to go live?
Third, even if we could deploy to our Ubuntu server after C9, we plan on many updates to our live application after deployment. I'm not sure if there would be issues with this if our development is on C9 and deployment on a completely different server.
So I'm wondering if anyone has a potential solution for these issues? Is there any way for us to work with Meteor on our live Ubuntu server, or Cloud9, from WebStorm on our Windows systems? Or any way we could integrate Cloud9 and WebStorm together for the best of both worlds? Or any way we could use a Linux emulator or something to allow us to use Meteor on our local windows system, without making it difficult for multiple developers to work on the project at the same time?
Thanks in advance!
The Windows port of Meteor actually is working quite well; the only major issue is that mobile development doesn't work. That is going to be fixed in Meteor 1.1 anyway, whose primary goal is to get Windows support up to that of Linux and Mac OS X.
As the user who initially pushed for Webstorm to add Meteor support back in October 2012, I'd recommend starting with Webstorm and Meteor on Windows right away, unless you need mobile development. In that case, you need native *nix machine (an Ubuntu VM on Windows won't be able to run the Android emulator, for example).
WebStorm also supports server-side Meteor debugging, and they're pretty responsive when it comes to fixing bugs you report on YouTrack. See for example https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-13490
With Cloud9, you cannot currently SSH into a workspace you have, so a hybrid Webstorm/Cloud9 situation might not be doable at this point.
As for deploying your stuff from Cloud9, that is very doable. There's some documentation here about that: https://docs.c9.io/v1.0/docs/deploying-via-the-command-line
I am currently trying to develop a Windows Phone 7 app and corresponding REST Web API project. I have been encountering problems with the emulator talking to the API. After testing with JQuery and Fiddler I came to find that the emulator is losing internet connectivity with my system.
I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and can recommend something. At this moment the only fix I have been able to find is to restart my entire machine which is not something that makes development either fun or efficient. If anyone can recommend anything I would greatly appreciate it.
Fiddler creates a proxy when running. Gotta reset the Internet Options of the host machine and it usually goes back to working
We are in process of preparing a testing checklist to make sure that our newly developed windows app (.NET 3.5, WPF) is going to be worked well on windows 7 in all environments.
Since our app is accessing WMI,USB devices(we have a USB blocker),windows power plans since we have power saving utility.
Because of that, we prepared a small checklist to make sure that our app will works well even if users change some windows settings.
Here is what we currently have:
Testing with 64 and 32bit OS.
Testing with OS that is not installed on C:\ drive.
Trying with windows running with/without domain.
Turning off windows installer service and making sure that our app is going to turn it on during installation.
Checking WMI service before accessing WMI.
Testing on laptop/Desktop machines.
We still need more test cases to cover more scenarios.
So if you have any more suggestions, that would help a lot.
Thank you!
How would I develop apps if I had a Cloud Only PC?
I'm looking at the Acer-AC700-1099-Chromebook-Wi-Fi on Amazon.
The idea is kind of neat, and I can see this being the way more PCs are going to go. Nothing installed on your PC - you are basically running a "dumb terminal" that lives off an Internet connection.
So far, the biggest concern has been that apps like PhotoShop can not be run on them.
As programmers, most of us don't care about PhotoShop, but we need to compile our C#!
Does anyone have any information on whether some form of Cloud Compiling is in the works?
Maybe my employer would be able to purchase an X-License copy of Visual Studio that is installed on the server and I'd just log into that to develop all of my apps.
This is totally doable. I would suggest that you/your employer take a look at XenDesktop. This is technology that lets you run Windows Virtual Machines in your own private cloud. Then to access these machines you run a "thin client" which is basically like a Remote Desktop session. The thin client can run on a normal laptop, an iPad, and even Google ChromeOS. The basics of this technology are free, and not that hard to setup.
See these articles here which are Citrix announcing support for ChromeOS.

The coolest part about this, is you are using a Chromebook which is a cloud only laptop to access the public cloud AND your own private cloud. Pretty cloudy in here :)
Given that Visual Studio is Windows-only, you have to run Windows somewhere - either on your local PC (not an option with Chrome) or on some remote server (and access it via some web-based RDP client IF such beast exists and works with Chrome). I.e. the question can be split in two - where to get the powerful server system to run VS on it (and don't forget that compilation is resource-consuming, so the server system is to be very powerful if several users work on it in parallel), and how to connect to remote Windows system using Chrome OS. Both of those questions are offtopic here ;).
