I have an C# desktop application that needs to allow the user to specify an ArcGIS map service definition (.MSD) for publishing to a server.
How can I programmatically publish a given .MSD to an ArcGIS Server from a desktop that is connected to the server? Any links or APIs that might help with this? Also, I am open to C# or Python for this solution.

I want to create a class which connect
to a mysql Server to all platform (IOS Android and windows)
how can I do that? is there a DLL or an API to use
Do not connect your App directly to your database. This will cause a huge secruity problem. Use web services instead. The web services will handle the interaction between your client and server.
Web Services
And if you are just playing around or sth here is an example.
Example
I know about xamarin connection with SQLite but it is locally
I need to connect my remotely MySQL database with xamarin.forms (I know about the security issue of this without using web services layer, but i will only use it for my own work)
This plugin is for xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android
I cannot add it using dependency service because i cannot add this component to the shared project
So is there any example of connecting MySQL database with xamarin.forms
You can't add references to your shared library. Shared libraries act like a list of files that are directly included in the project. The advantage of shared projects is just, that you do not have to maintain these included files for each project that uses code of the contained files. See the Xamarin documentation for further explanation.
What you have to do, if you want to consume a 3rd party libray within a shared library: Add the library to each project that uses the shared library (e.g. your iOS and Android project)
2ct to the mentioned security issue
You are right about the security issue. That's why I'd advice against, using mysql directly from your app. (I'll explain it for other readers that aren't aware of this problem and stumble over this question)
You should tunnel it through HTTPS because:
Some networks just block certain ports (HTTP and HTTPS are usually not blocked)
You publish your credentials with your app either statically or dynamically, but the credentials to your database are interceptable either way. You should authenticate a user and not an app. So there should be some kind of authentication / authorization that is revokeable. There was a nice talk from Kerry Lothrop on the Xamarin Evolve 2016 on this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLFtQHNxGaI
I am working on an HTML5 web application, which I need to host in Google cloud platform.
How can I deploy the web application, which is based on HTML5/CSS3, jQuery to Google Cloud platform/App Engine?
Clarification:
My web application is build using HTML5/CSS3 with javascript to process data. I am using Visual Studio IDE for development of the same. As per my understanding, apart from the supported languages like java, Python, etc, we can deploy html5 web application to Google cloud platform. How can I package my HTML5 application, which is not using any specific language and deploy to App Engine?
Thanks

You can deploy to a bucket directly:
The Website Configuration feature enables you to configure a Google
Cloud Storage bucket to simulate the behavior of a static website. You
can define main pages or directory indices (for example, index.html)
for buckets and "directories". Also, you can define a custom error
page in case a requested resource does not exist.
No programming language at all required :)
Google Cloud Storage
You need a account with Google Cloud Platform to start with. Assuming you have that.
Go to cloud console where you find all the admin menus for creating instances.
You need to create a compute engine instance, if you want to create full fledged website.
Steps to follow:
Create a instance (linux, 10GB disk, 1.7GB memmory) and configure it for all required components.
After this you can move your files to your website folder usually "htdocs"
You will be assigned with an empirical IP address.
Using zone management tools you can add a new domain. All that using the admin panel, no complexity involved.
You may required to configure proxy, if you need access to other machines.
I'm going to access with Google drive SDK. should I Create installed application configuration or web application configuration in order to access API? what is the main difference?
answer of difference is that:

I recently created a web application with GWT. Then re-used most of the code to create a Swing version of the application that accesses a local database in offline mode. I am now implementing the 'online' mode of the application and want to access the same data as my GWT application.
Any ideas? Considered connecting directly to the MySQL server via SSL, but that's not working and doesn't seem as scalable. Should I use REST?
Any suggestions would be helpful.
To solve this problem in the past, we've used Jersey to create REST Web services which returns protocol buffers. The Swing app would then interact with the protocol buffers. The GWT app would ask for content type 'json' and receive protostuff objects in return. It worked quite well. That way, both apps can communicate with the server in the exact way.
Edit:
To allow your swing app to communicate with GWT-RPC, look at this blog article.
