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.

I have a requirement were I need to run SignalR server in Xamarin app, and consume it in web app. As far as I have seen in examples, Xamarin is used as a client consuming the SignalR. Can anyone help me how to register and start SignalR in Xamarin like we do in dotnet core app as below
services.AddSignalR();
app.UseSignalR(routes => {
routes.MapHub<HubName>("path");
});
Is there a way were I can run same/alternative code in Xamarin. Thanks
Your above code, those are used in asp.net core webapp. What I currently know is that you can use SingalR Self-Host to achieve your needs, but it seems that .net core cannot be used, because the official documents are based on .net framework.
Official sample uses the console application, and this article uses windows service.
By using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.SelfHost package can achieve your needs.
I'm a hobby developer that use Parse.com as my database and website host, as Facebook is going to shutdown Parse.com, I'm now looking for alternative Parse server.
I use Parse's Cloud Code Hosting to build Dynamic Web App, and Parse itself to store data collected from the website I've build, with custom Cloud Code to help getting and managing data. I've build a Windows Phone app for myself to manage the data I've collected too.
Is there any alternative server that has my requirement?
Dynamic Website
Database host
Custom Cloud Code (with BeforeSave and AfterSave trigger)
with Windows Phone SDK (or REST API if doesn't have)
Very thank you for helping me!

I'm using Simbla website application development. It doesn't support all of your requirments but it has great UI builder with a backend parse database.
You can try using the parse open source server it has cloud code and you can use a custom database with it.
I've read many articles and tutorials that demonstrate how to use the Azure mobile service however I'm left unclear with many things.
I have an existing web app that uses Azure SQL database and is published with Azure. I'm trying to integrate the already created database into the Xamarin Android App I'm developing.
I'm confused with the following things.
Do I need to change the .Net back end to be able to use the database tables in the Xamarin app? The way I see it, I shouldn't need to since the Xamarin app communicates with the SQL database, not the .Net app.
How does the data get stored into the SQL table? Do I just reference the Mobile service inside my Xamarin app and it will create a bridge between the SQL database and my application or do I need to first create the tables or import the existing tables from the database?
The web app is currently deployed to Azure Web service. Does it need to be deployed to Mobile App service?
I would really appreciate if someone can help me out with these questions.
Your mobile app is not communicating directly with your SQL database. It is likely going through an Azure App Service - this is a web-enabled piece of middleware that projects tables within the SQL database to an OData feed. So you have three pieces - the SQL database, the Azure App Service and your client.
1) Yes, you need to update the ASP.NET backend to support your database tables. If this is an existing database, then you also need to update your database to support the mobile projection. I wrote a blog on this: https://shellmonger.com/2016/05/11/30-days-of-zumo-v2-azure-mobile-apps-day-19-asp-net-table-controllers/ but you may want to start earlier in the series that that.
2) You add the Azure Mobile client to your Xamarin app - this coordinates the transfer of data between your client and the backend. You can find a tutorial on this that I recommend walking through here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-xamarin-android-get-started/ - you can also read the HOWTO here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-mobile-dotnet-how-to-use-client-library/ - the tutorial and HOWTO cover both offline and online data access scenarios.
3) If you are using the new portal (portal.azure.com), then there is really no difference between a Mobile App and a Web App. The Mobile App is simply a web app with a specific SDK deployed within your ASP.NET (or Node.js) backend code and with a connected database. The minor difference is that if you create a Mobile App then clicking on Quickstarts (within Settings) will get you a mobile quick start; if you do the same with a Web App, then clicking on Quickstarts will get you a web quick start.
I'm using Parse.com SDK services for my Android app.
I've seen that Parse had released their Android SDK as an open source project on Github on this address.
My app is almost finished, and when I'm uploading it to the Play Store, I don't want to be controlled by Parse.com (I mean that I don't want to be blocked someday, or I don't know that), so I want to move my whole database to my own server that hosted on a secure company.
I've checked the open source project on Github and realized that all I need to use it on my own server is to generate an Application ID and a client key.
So I want to ask if someone knows how to generate an Application ID and a client key of Parse to use it on my own server, or that you maybe knows another way of moving it to my server? And one more question: Today I'm using also Facebook SDK with my app. If I will move my database to my own server, will I still be able to use Facebook SDK on my app?
Thanks!
I have write an article about how to migrate parse to a custom server.

There's a massive difference between Parse open-sourcing their SDKs compared to revealing their entire backend architecture and its configuration.
The open-sourced SDKs are essentially wrappers for Parse's REST API along with some convenience functions and logic for natively interpreting the JSON data Parse is transmitting.
At a high level, Parse uses MongoDB for its core database and is entirely hosted using AWS (Amazon Web Services). The entire architecture is highly complex and is not something you could just drag and drop onto your own software stack or hardware backend.
To help give you a better idea of how Parse achieves all of their services, here's an interesting presentation their Dev Ops team gave at an AWS convention. Suffice it to say, hosting the backend services for over 180,000 apps requires a complex infrastructure and that is the "secret sauce" so to speak for Parse and is why Facebook purchased them for over $85 million two years ago.
We want to get the project links (Home, Continuous integration,...) via the SonarQube Web Service API.
The links belong to the CoreProperties - https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarqube/blob/master/sonar-plugin-api/src/main/java/org/sonar/api/CoreProperties.java
Is it possible to read them via the API?
This is not possible yet. But with the UI refactoring that is currently done on 5.2, this is likely that such a WS will be developed.
