How do websites and mobile apps talk to each other? So when something on the website is posted it shows on the app also instantly?
Something like eBay, where users post something to sell on the website and it shows up right away on the app. There is various examples of this such as posting a status on facebook on the website and it instantly becomes seen on the app also.
How do they talk to each other? Is this a difficult and expensive process?
thank you
1 AnswerProgramming & Design3 years agoLaunching a online business in 2019. Should I go with a Progressive web app or native app? Are native apps really dying?
I've been reading articles about how native apps are a thing of the past. I truly can't see mobile apps dying? However if you were starting a business in 2019 would you save time and money and opt out of creating a native app for instead a progressive web app?

1 AnswerProgramming & Design3 years agoHow do classified mobile apps manage their content? Such as Ebay, Kijiji, Yelp, Foursquare, etc?
These apps have a lot of user interaction such posting an item for sale (eBay, kijiji) or listing a business that a user can edit (yelp, foursquare)
Do these apps use a Content Management system?
I'd love to make an app for fun where you can buy or sell letting the users post it such as kijiji or eBay. However what does the backend of these websites look like?

3 AnswersProgramming & Design3 years agoWould you rather go to the Greek islands, Croatia, France or Italy? Bringing my girlfriend with me. Please help me decide?
Im about to graduate from university and Ive been saving from year 1. To celebrate Ive decided I'm going to Europe. I want to swim in the Mediterranean sea so I've narrowed down my choices to the Greek Islands, Croatia, France, and Italy. I have a respectable amount of cash to spend (but still budgeting!) However don't want to spend in the thousands. So looking for strong value of money.
Ive decided i'm going to bring my girlfriend. So with that in mind, which one those places along the Mediterranean would you recommend? Any places you guys love?
Some of the things I look for on vacation:
- I don't care about nightlife, Im not much a party person
- Romantic, yes? Bringing the GF so why not?
- Nice Beaches
- GOOD FOOD!!
- Good value per dollar (not too expensive)
Thanks!

5 AnswersEngineering4 years agoWhat do governments do with the burnt forest fire trees?
This summer unfortunatly we have seen various forest fires is both Western Canada and the United States. My understanding is that some trees are left because they actually fertilize the ground? Surely they clear most of the trees however, so what does the government who whoever is in charge do with the burnt trees? Just trashed?

3 AnswersCancun9 years agoshould i go into/major in oil and gas?
I have just finished high school and thinking what to do with my life. You always hear that the money is in oil and gas. However with all the media attention around it and these rumours of "oh our gas will be done in 30 years". Is it worth it to major in oil and gas? I know no one can see the future, but do you think the oil and gas industry will stay be doing great? Will there still be work for me in that industry in later years of my life?
1 AnswerOther - Careers & Employment9 years agoInvest in real estate or franchise a business?
Now lets start by saying I'm young, im 18 to be exact. Fresh out of high school and about to join the "adult world". I've been fortunate enough to be working and saving a little bit so I can have some money to try things at a young age. My parents are willling to help me but like any parent I'm told to have a plan. I live in Calgary, Alberta and real estate in this city is like gold. However I can say the same about having a business. The renters market in calgary is good, so a plan myself and parents came up was to buy a home for under $380 000 and rent it out. In calgary with the location of the home you can approx rent it out for 1500-1800 a month. I would put about a 40-60 thousanddown paymentt on the house and mortgage the rest. Granted that because the rates are so low and by the time im ready to move out (maybe 4 years) I turn around sell or move in to the place I would have a head start.That'ss an option, another scenario I'm looking at is franchising a business. I do have the 40-60 thousand dollar range to put down in cash. So i guess what I'm trying to ask is that enough cash to start a franchise? Is it smart to take out a loan for a business if it is not enough? Im looking for the most beneficial return. What will make more money and what is the smarter decision?

I'm looking to buy a noise cancelling (NC) headphone for a flight i have coming up. I can get a crazy good deal for the two headphones I have rounded up, and when i say good deal I mean i can get one of them for 40 bucks..
So i've come down to the Panasonic rp-hc700 and the sennheiser HD 428. I believe but im not sure the panasonic at time of production MSRP was for $199 and the 428 for $99. However in this world today high prices doesn't always mean better product. Whats the better option?
