Does anyone know a good library or sample code to add new entry to a domain using REST?
Amazon has a full .NET SDK.
Edit
I stand corrected! I wasn't aware Windows Phone was lacking full .NET support.
There is however a blog series here discussing accessing SimpleDb from Windows Phone 7. It covers the signature, which is probably the trickiest part to get right on your own!
Its also probably worth looking at the official .NET SDK in reflector to see what is happening.
The Amazon Web Services SDK for Windows Phone has recently been released. This SDK provides developers with a speed dial that lets you quickly connect and integrate Windows Phone applications with AWS S3, SimpleDB and SQS services.
The SDK can be found from here.
These articles are not about SDK. They're about manually connectting to SimpleDB from Windows Phone; and written before the SDK.
Here is series of articles written in Turkish:

I'm working on a research project in which we create a new text-to-speech (TTS) engine, that converts text to spoken audio.
As the engine is already performing good, we try to make it usable by a large number of applications which made us want the engine to show up as a TTS voice on Windows 10.
In Microsoft's developer documentations, all I found was information on how I can use exisiting/already installed voices in my application. However, I didn't find any information on how to implement a voice so that it shows up as a Windows voice and can be used by any application using the Speech SDK or SAPI.
Which interface do I have to implement or what API do I have to connect to in order to get our new TTS engine work with Windows Speech?
I already crawled the documentation of the Microsoft Speech SDK as well as developer sites like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.speech.synthesis.ttsengine
You should look at the TTS Engine Vendor Porting Guide. You need to implement ISpTTSEngine, which does all the work, and ISpObjectWithToken, which manages registration and creation.
I just come across about ibeacons technology which introduced by Apple but haven't got any API/framework from Microsoft.
Is there any API or framework available from Microsoft which gives support for Ibeacons implementation?
Thanks
Unfortunately, this is not possible with Windows Phone 8, because it only supports Bluetooth 3.1 iBeacons require Bluetooth 4.0, also known as BluetoothLE.
In October 2013, Nokia announced that upcoming phones would have Bluetooth LE support. Unfortunately, these only allow OS-level pairing with Bluetooth LE devices. There is no public api.
This makes it impossible to develop a third-party iBeacon Library for the Windows Phone similar to the Android iBeacon Library.
Unfortunately, Windows Phone users will have to wait for a later release with either native iBeacon support or a public BluetoothLE API that allows a third party to develop a Windows iBeacon Library.
Update: this appears to remain impossible with Windows Phone 8.1. See my comment on the answer from #keni
Update:
Windows 10 will support Bluetooth LE Advertisements. Current status as of today (4/23/2015) is that the preview build of Windows 10 still has an incomplete SDK implementation and a few bugs. However, next week a new build will be introduced and it can be safely assumed that we'll get a good glimpse on how this will actually work.
Sending and receiving pure Advertisements works already. Have a look at the Sample that you can download from github here:https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/bluetoothadvertisement
Update
a public BluetoothLE API will come in Window Phone 8.1

Please read the following blog post for BLE for developers in Windows 8.1

I developed sip application in Android. and now I am developing it in Windows Phone 8. I am new in Windows phone and don't know anything that Which library should be use here? Do Microsoft provide free library for SIP?
Please any suggest me Which way will be best for developing or any source code or library or demo application?
I think you can start from this example.
There is a full sample app there.
Take a look at boghe, it's the SIP video client for Windows Phone 8 and Surface Pro. You'll learn a lot from there.
It also cover VoIP apps for Windows Phone 8, which teaches you to integrate VoIP into WP8 experience
I am making windows 8 application using c++/cx but i am not able to get how to include azure feature in my app,every where tutorials is given in c# but nowhere i can find tutorial in c++/cx.
As most of the samples written in managed code to access Windows Azure Mobile Services, It is trues that there are no samples available in C++/C. However it does not mean you could not do it. Keep in mind you would need to do extra work to get it done.
As Windows Azure Mobile Services use RESTful interface so you can access them from any language as long as you can call REST api from there. Here is the documentation for Windows Azure Mobile Services REST Api.
With C++/C you just need to search and find an appropriate framework to call REST api and once you have that working just call Windows Azure Mobile TEST Api to achieve your objective.
This blog post has some examples of how to perform various Azure Mobile Services tasks using C++ for Windows 8.1 Store apps. The IDE tooling mentioned in that post is not available for Windows 8 apps.
I guess the question pretty much says it all?
And I would prefer not to access cloud services such as Microsoft Translator and Project Hawaii?
Is there any direct API I can access?
(For metro apps)
I was able to get the Microsoft Speech Platform working on my Windows 7 laptop (both Voice Recognition and Text-to-Speech). You just need to install SDK and the runtime. You can also download additional Voice and Language packs. I would think it should work on Windows 8 as well. Here is a good sample on how to set it up to recognize some basic phrases like "Find restaurants near Seattle".
There are some new APIs for Windows 8.1:

Text-To-Speech sample:

There are no Text to Speech or Speech to text libraries available in .Net for Windows 8 apps. System.Speech and such is not available. You will need to roll your own or find compatible 3rd party library.
I use Bing Translator service in my apps, but that has been removed from existance, they brought the text translator services into Azure, but did not bring speech over and they disabled the old website to get API keys for bing translator. Hadn't heard of Project Hawaii before will have to check it out.
Microsoft's speech API seems available in Windows 7. Was it taken out of Windows 8?
You can now Access Bing Services for Windows 8 , the service has been just released and is in Beta1 stage
