I have a pretty simple question (for once :D) :
Do you know if a talendconnector to google-contacts exists ?
I can't find one into http://www.talendforge.org/components/, neither on the 4 first pages of Google itself.
As a fallback, do you think it would be possible to wrap a Talend component around google-contacts ... I guess yes, and so I would be surprised that no one had already developped it !
I've not seen a Google Contacts connector in Talend but there's a problem in the fact that to access the API you will need to auth via OAuth2. There's currently nothing standard in Talend to help with this (although it would be pretty useful) but Gabriele Baldassarre who semi regularly answers questions under the Talend tag has built a series of components to access Twitter data which has a similar OAuth requirement.
His website might be a useful reference to building this should you want to do so.
Edit
As of 5.4 Talend's RESTful components such as tRestClient now support OAuth2 so it is possible to provide OAuth2 tokens in your RESTful connection to help you connect to web services secure by OAuth2. There's not (as of yet) a Google Contacts connector available but you could replicate it now.

Does anyone know how to connect the ionic mobile app to backend api using spring and sqlserver as its database? If you have some references or examples, then it would help me a lot.
Here are few tutorial that might be useful to you.
(These are not using sql server, doesn't matter much)

You need to have first the documentation of your backend or to know the methods of the backend with URL. you can find many videos and tutorial on google. it depends about what you need (Authentification, getting data, streaming.... ).
Me and a team built a small "meet people" app last semester that used Spring linked to a MySQL database as the backend. I am working on my own app now and I'm worried about security because all of our user information was sent over HTTPS GET requests to the server. It seems weird to me that we were able to hop on google chrome, type in xxx.xxxxx.xx:xxx/user/2 and get back a JSON with all of a specific users information. If anyone knew our url/port, they would be able to access this information themselves.
I'm sure this is a basic question, but what steps do I need to take to create a Spring backend that isn't as easy to access? I'm basically a total beginner in this, but I did write the service in Spring last semester so I know the basics.
You can use Spring Security which is a very good project and easy to integrate.
There are many types of security features it provides :
Basic Spring Security
Role Based Spring Security
baeldung.com and howtodoinjava has a very good series on it.
You can also use jwt-authentication-on-spring-boot which is also a good way to secure the APIs.
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!
Try out Hasura.
Hasura (http://www.hasura.io): Hasura is a neat PaaS + BaaS solution. It is now competing with Firebase, Kinvey, Heroku et al. There is a full comparison page here: Compare | Hasura (https://compare.beta.hasura.io) . The difference majorly lies in infra ownership as well as no tech lock-in due to open-source components(like docker, kubernetes,postgres) building the major chunk of the platform. Check it out. There is also an option to explore (https://explore.beta.hasura.io/) Hasura by building your own blog web app and a todo app in under 15 mins.
Hasura should fit in perfectly for your needs.

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'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.
mean.io does a great job of implementing a number of Oauth providers out of the box, unfortunately I want to use Spotify which is not one of them.
Mean.io uses passport which means that it should be as easy as implementing the passport-spotify npm module. However I am having difficulty understanding how mean.io's Oauth comes together. I also am having difficulty finding relevant information on how it works.
I can see that there is a config file in the config folder where the Oauth providers are configured but I can't tell what happens past there.
Is anybody able to point me in the right direction on how to implement an additional OAuth provider with mean.io?
