AWS re:Invent is just over one week away—as I prepare to head to Vegas, I’m pumped up about the chance to interact with AWS-powered startups from around the world. One of my favorite parts of the week is being able to host three startup-focused sessions Thursday afternoon: The Startup Scene in 2016: a Visionary Panel [Thursday, 2:45PM]. In this session, I’ll moderate a diverse panel of technology experts who’ll discuss emerging trends all startups should be aware of, including how local governme

Keeping up the trend of React Native coolness, I figured it would be a good idea to see how to access the native device clipboard. I had already demonstrated the device clipboard with Ionic Framework so it would only be fair to accomplish the same with React Native as well. Out of the box with React Native you won’t be able to access the clipboard. You’re going to have to install a component, and lucky for us, one such component exists.

The web has always evolved fairly quickly but as of late it sure feels like the pace has picked up substantially. There are a plethora of new standards and techniques emerging that range from incremental improvements to potentially giant leaps forward. We have the mass migration to HTTPS. There’s HTTP/2 which provides the first major update to HTTP in over 15 years.

Speed Curve

SEPTEMBER 29, 2015

This week we added support for organizations with multiple teams and multiple users. One of the toughest challenges was simply working out what to call the different layers within the SpeedCurve app. Developers can spend years buried inside a data model but at the end of the day the UI has to be intuitive and easy to use! I hope we’ve done that and if not we’d love your feedback.

Around 2010, when US companies could count on a recovering domestic economy, a weak US dollar, and growing emerging market economies, CFOs didn't need to work that hard to flatter the income statement. This has changed: the US recovery has been inconsistent, emerging markets are performing poorly and the US dollar is strong (taking the edge off overseas revenue).

So after a lot of thinking about it I finally dedicated some time to creating my first ever Ionic Framework course! The title of the course is Ionic Framework 101: A Quickstart to Building Mobile Apps and it can be found on the learning service Udemy. A little background on what I hoped to accomplish in this quickstart course. The post Ionic Framework 101: A Quickstart to Building Mobile Apps appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.

Previously I wrote about using the device camera in your React Native mobile application. However, what if we wanted to go a step further and start scanning barcodes? This is not a problem because the react-native-camera component we used in the last tutorial also supports barcode scanning. The post Implement A Barcode Scanner Using React Native appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.

I’m trying something new so bare with me here. I speak at quite a few events (conferences, meetups, code camps, etc.) so I figured it would be useful to my followers to know when and where these events are in case I am in your part of the world. I’ll keep it short and to the point. I’m going to be in New York on October 6th, 2015 to present at Couchbase Live New York.
