Struggling to create clientless IM with Lync - html

I need to make a clientless IM system with Lync and am struggling to find any existing information on this to help me.
Is this possible? and could anyone help/point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

You've included HTML5 as a tag, so I'm going to assume you want to create an web-page that has IM functionality built in.
UCWA is exactly what you need in this instance. UCWA is a rest-like API for accessing Lync for IM and Presence. You can use UCWA with anything that does HTTP request/response, but all the examples are using Javascript. Have a look at UCWA.Lync.com - where you will find online examples and code samples.
Also, if you're developing a project on this, depending on your timeline, you should also be aware of a new technology recently announced at the Lync Conference 2014. Its code name is JLync, and it will bring "browser extensibility with voice, video & content."

Determine the UI library that a particular website is using

I am starting to build my own website using the Django framework. It has become apparent that in order to make quick progress I will have to use some form of external library to handle most of my HTML/CSS/Javascript, for example, https://materializecss.com
I have begun investigating different websites to see what works and what doesn't and I was wondering if there is a quick way to identify what UI library a particular website is using.
Chrome's 'inspect' tool doesn't really help me because I get lost with so much HTML.
For example, this website https://www.moneyunder30.com/category/banking apparently uses https://materializecss.com, is there a general place hidden deep in the HTML where I could look to find this information?
Thanks
There's a pretty cool Chrome extension called Wappalyzer

Using polymer.dart to build portable web components

I'd like to use polymer.dart to build a set of portable web components that can be embedded in any random html page (including pages outside of any dart project). The idea is that a customer could embed my polymer.dart elements on his html pages without the customer needing to create a dart application. I would think this would be an obvious and straightforward thing to do - but after going through many tutorials and instructional pages, and reading through lots of dart/polymer.dart documentation, I haven't found any explanation of how to go about this. Presumably the dart/polymer code would have to be compiled to javascript for inclusion on the customer's html page. Could someone comment on if this is possible, and if so, provide an explanation with examples of how to go about it? This dart/polymer.dart newbie would be grateful for any assistance.
I don't think this will work with Dart.
You need to run pub build over a Dart application to get a deployable result.
I guess this would work better with JavaScript Polymer elements.
There are plans to support this scenario but I guess it will still take a while.

Basic cloud9 project

I'm new to the cloud IDE setup and can't get my head around deployment and "workspaces". I tried making a basic site with html (to use javascript/css once I can figure out how to call the code into the html) as testing before running it on another website.
At the moment I'm using a basic text editor to tweak the html (for a custom Google Map), but cloud9 and the like highlight code in colour and complete functions etc. so it's easier to use (also I can't use an offline editor due to hardware).
I'm keen to learn more javascript but really only have basic web html/css skills so all the node.js files lose me a bit. Where can I find a really simple introduction to just writing, say, a html page and seeing it previewed? Or does it not work like that?
The tutorials I've found so far are going into scripting (e.g. "Cloud 9 IDE Basics" > http://vimeo.com/16273901)
Thanks, and sorry for asking such a beginner's question!
Does the Cloud9 documentation site (https://docs.c9.io/) help?. It has articles ranging from the basics to more advanced topics, including some video tutorials.

How to interface Paypal with Flash for games

I have looked for something like this on Google and on this very site, but only found answers detailing procedures for sites. How is it possible to make so financial transactions can be carried over inside the game using Paypal, or maybe a different site? Is there any API/Library? If possible provide a solution in AS3...
Yes there is a PayPal API for this you would need to look through paypal documents to know to get further information, Apart from implementing this, a while back i had some scripts that would make a basic ECART for PayPal in actionScript, I would i have to check up my back up files to see if i still have them, i had found them through google..
Paypal has a couple short examples of integrating their new Digital Goods payment method into Flash, but it either involves embedding javascript in the html surrounding your swf and talking to it using ExternalInterface, or opening another page in a popup.

guide on how to kick start template based flash website?

I'm very new to flash and as3 design patterns. But I can read and write as3 quite ok, i've created small widgets with that. I've developed several web sites using php and also python.
Now for a educational cd-rom project i'm working on, i've basically designed all templates (A home page, a generic page with navigation and a sidebar - kind of like a wordpress blog). I have all the data for the cdrom on word files, which i intend to place on xml files.
My question is what is the best way to start a project like this? Can anyone guide me to a template or something that can be used for kickstarting this? kind of like a wordpress (without the admin)? Or am i on this all wrong? Can someone please help
