Hi I am developing a Wp8 application and I want to know can I send an SMS message without having to go into the native messaging application or does it have to go in to it. Cud i use a webservice to send the message from my app or is their better way to send it.
If you want to send an SMS, in about 5 lines of code, you should look into Twilio. Incredibly easy to get started, only pay for what you use, nicely document rest api and best of all its is a proven/mature technology.

I am trying to find a way to connect SQS with a website.
My general understanding of the project is that when a user clicks a button on the website it will send a message to the queue, and then I will have an Arduino receiving the message, which will then trigger a function that will move a robot. I have played around with Temboo and have managed to receive messages on the Arudino board, but I have no idea if it is even possible to send messages through a HTML button press. Is this even doable?
One way to send messages to SQS from a web browser is to use the AWS JavaScript SDK in the browser. You will need to supply credentials to the browser client so that it can make SDK calls, so ideally your client authenticates to your back-end and your back-end can send temporary (STS) credentials down to the client to use with the SDK.
Or you can use Amplify Pub/Sub, which is a higher-level framework than the AWS SDK.
Another way would be to create a small Lambda function, fronted with API Gateway, and then your browser client can POST to an HTTPS endpoint that will trigger your Lambda function to send the message to SQS.
I need advice after looking a lot about receive push/toast notifications regardless of the status of the application (closed or open).
The application communicates with a NodeJS API.
The idea is that a user logs in once to the application and then can receive notifications (depending on his account): i the user restarts his system for example, at startup he receives notifications without having to open the application (like the Mail application for example).
Most tutorials on MSDN use Azure and I don' use this. I would like to know if you have tips or links (tutorials, ...) for doing this in an UWP (or WinRT) application.
Thanks in advance for your help.

You can send push notifications from your NodeJS api via Windows Notification Service. This service has nothing to do with azure but when using Azure Notifications Hub it will be easier to get it implemented, but again this is not required;
In essence:
- register your app in dev center
- obtain a client id and client secret to use WNS in the dev center
- When your app launch it obtains a push notification channel uri and sends this to your backend. Your backend need to save all the URI's for the different devices
- When you have a notification select the uri's of the devices you want to send the push notification to
- post a xml message (based on what you want to update, tile, toast, badge or raw) to the URI's. To be able to post you need to authenticatie with the client id and client secret

Can anyone tell me how I can us Twilio sms notifications in a web form so when someone fills out the form with their phone number I receive a sms which includes the phone number?
Twilio Evangelist here. You probably want to do this on the server side, otherwise you will have your Twilio credentials exposed to the world and his dog in the page source, which would be bad.
Then, when the page is submitted you just need to use your language of choice to make a call to the Twilio REST API with a helper library. Or, you can make a request without a helper library, this example shows how to send an SMS.
The SMS you send yourself can include anything you want, including the phone number submitted on the website.
Hope this helps!
I need a quick help. How can I use Exchange Streaming API to intercept New Mail Arrival Event every time and fetch it content.
This article talks about PowerSHell and this talks about Console APP. How do I automate it? One way is Windows Service but is there any other and easy way??
Thanks
You Need some Kind of host which receives the notifications. Whether this is a console application or a Windows Service is up to you.
I create small form (Name, email, Subject, Message) in Flash. Want to send this by email using AS3 code.
Can we use this offline? Like, we fill all the detail and after submit then its go online and receive the detail in email
as #esimov said, security is not major concern then you have to use SMTPMailer, because your mail send in pure text form to the e-mail server. but if you want to use SMTPMailer then you can use some encryption and decryption method in it. This encryption packet with key are traceable. so If security is major concern then you must use airxmail written in actionscript so you can send and receive mail with SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 protocol. best example are given to send and recieve a mail.
May this will help you.
If you want to use an email client directly using Flash technology you need to stick with Flex. It has a robust backend interaction and even more it allows to do some cross scripting interactions.
However if you wish to use Flash and not Flex, actually there is an email sending application called SMTPMailer which sends attached files through emails with the Socket class available in the Player 9 and AS3. Please note, that for security reason is always better to send emails from the server side of the application. So another possibility would be to integrate the email sending part in a server side script.
