That is just the last time there was an update in it.
If it is the one I am looking at, the Question was posted 7 Feb, 2012. So, well over a year ago. There are no edits or new answers present, so I am guessing the member shown as having updated it last posted an answer, which got downvoted and then deleted. It is a fairly new member with 6 Authority points, so that would make sense.

I think that codeproject should have the clients for mobile.IOS,Android,Windows Phone......
|
|
|
|
|
It's a grand idea, but that's a lot of work with a limited staff who are already working flat out maintaining the site. Would you care to volunteer to help? I'm sure that Chris and co would be delighted if you would write one or more of these clients.

I have already developed a CodeProject Beta App for Windows Phone 8, If you remember my previous post on the same.
The only reason I stopped proceeding further is due to the lack of support for this development from the Codeproject team for logo's and stuffs. I'm Sorry to say this, but I have to say now.
Anything can become official App, if there's a significant support.
I suggested with responsive design so that we can have an mobile app running everywhere. Mobile client for the forum would be good , However it would be nice if we have a CodeProject Mobile App.
Thanks,

Do you have any appreciation how busy the Code Project team are? Chris already told you that he will get a logo made for you. Have some patience. I believe that Chris finally managed to have a night off this last Sunday, the first break he had in weeks. A little bit of gratitude to him wouldn't go amiss.

You know all peoples are busy and they are on their own world. Even I'm working in office and I do have personal life while I go back home. Any ways I'm spending my personal time with interest in working on this application. So have some respect for this development.
Well I'm not blaming anyone. I just want to speed up with the development and that's how I work everywhere. I hate to be a snail in my life.

I'd love it too, but given all the things we have spinning right now we're choosing to focus on the online experience for now.

You only need to give us an API - I bet there are quite a few folks here who'd happily write the mobile apps for you 
|
|
|
|
|
There are 2 main issues we have to have an answer to first:
1. The API itself. We actually already have an API that's expanding rapidly, but it's not what you want. And what you want isn't what someone else wants. We need to go through the exercise (again) of working out which bits of the stuff that we're actively supporting are we willing to commit to for the long, long term and expose that
2. Load. How much will these APIs be hit? Are we ready to support that load? What uptime commitment is required
3. Abuse. How do we ensure the API isn't abused? The obvious answer is to put together an API key system where users register to get a key, and those who abuse it get shutdown. This isn't optimal, but neither is having a service be abused by a small number of members at the detriment of the whole.

I'd be more than willing to work with you to pull together my requirements for a mobile API (and your answer to point 3 is an entirely sensible one). Heck, I'd even PhoneGap the app and write the article for you.
|
|
|
|
|
I was gonna offer to help, but you'd make a far better choice. Your ideas would be more in sync with Chris's own unlike mine - as I have noticed historically

Chris ultimately comes round to your way of thinking though.

Nice touch that, saying you have 2 main issues and casually sneaking in a 3rd point.
1. I agree. There needs to be a basic spec. But I wouldn't imagine it being too hard to come up with one. I'd expect the ability to log in, search and view articles, rate articles, view, rate and post messages/comments on articles and forums.
2. Well, the load would surely not be any higher than people doing the same things using the website?
3. You could do it similar to how Facebook does it where vendors get an auth-key.
4. You could make a requirement that all official apps show ads too. This would mean exposing an api to fetch ads as well. Obviously, the ads would have to be media/content optimized for mobile screens.

We have most of these already but only at a very low level. Specifically, our rating system and reputation systems are separate, though they work together. So, when you rate something you need to also set the reputation events. What we need to do is package up these low level APIs into a public facing API that has the workflow fully encapsulated.

It could be far higher, because applications can call it far faster than a Real Human - or an app could sit there polling all day, every day.

Screen scraping is one last resort and that's how peoples build rapid mobile clients

It's AN option, Not one I'd recommend in a site that changes its structure.
|
|
|
|

Yes you are right, It may work for stable site which do not much change the naming for CSS and HTML layouts. It may be just a work around but not a complete full-fledged solution.

Not that it looks like many read the instructions, however, you might add in the Database Forum instructions, that posters need to state the database server they are using. My answer for MS SQL Server most likely will not work on an Oracle server.
Thanks
