Build

Note: This is a modified version of the article that I originally published on Tuts+ Code. With the rise of the maker movement—Maker Faire, 3D printers, DIY robots, drones, and so on—the popularity of Arduino, an open-source, microcontroller-based kit, has turned many software engineers into hardware...

PubNub’s real-time messaging infrastructure has proved its mettle across various industry domains, Fintech (Financial Technology) being one of them. From instant stock updates to real-time financial data analytics, PubNub provides a resilient and best in class network for streaming financial data across...

Recently, I have become interested in using RethinkDB as my preferred document based database. Although RethinkDB and MongoDB have their own similarities and differences, it’s RethinkDB’s real-time web feature and their query language that has impressed me the most. If you have been following my...

Streams are a very powerful concept. They are programming constructs which move data between objects and services without having to manually loop through the data, which is one reason why they are so popular. Twitter has streams, NodeJS has streams, Java 8 has streams, and even RSS feeds can be represented...

Internet of Things is all about building connected devices, applications and services rapidly. Software and hardware engineers are equally involved and, with the right tools, it is easy to build a working prototype in minutes. And this is exactly what we did. We chose our favorite board, the Arduino...

As part of our AngularJS series we invited Isaiah Grey of Stamplay to show us how to build a collaborative shopping list with PubNub and their service. Stamplay is a service for building application backends using a variety of services. Payment processors, user authentication, and text messaging, can...

I love IFTTT. Frankly speaking, that’s how I deal with everything in programming. If this happens, I will do this, otherwise I will do that. Plus, as a developer, we can’t survive without conditionals in our programs. One of their “recipes” (that’s what they call a combination of apps to complete a purpose)...

Since we wrote this post, we’ve made some changes to our what we do, and what we don’t do with WebRTC. Learn more here. WebRTC is becoming widely adopted by top companies. If you don’t know it already, WebRTC is a free, open-source project that provides simple APIs for creating Real-Time...
