Editor's Notes
- #6 Research by AYTM on behalf of Kinvey“we surveyed 100 mobile designers to discover how long they expected it would take to build core front- and backend components of an Android or iOS app”
- #9 BaaS is a relatively recent development in cloud computing,with most BaaS startupsdating from 2011 or later.BaaS is distinct from these other services in that it specifically addresses the cloud-computing needs of web and mobile app developers by providing a unified means of connecting their apps to cloud services.The global BaaS market had an estimated value of $216.5 million in 2012.[5]
- #11 It’s a back end for you mobile apps Giving you storage, authentication oAuth with various social networksServer side business logic with node.js interceptorsPush notifications to different mobile devicesSchedulerOther players include Parse, Kinvey, Buddy, AppceleratorRelatively recent development in cloud computing started circa 2011
- #12 All SDKs are open sourced on GitHubREST API for any other device….
- #14 Both structured & unstructured storage availableWindows Azure SQL database with a dynamic schema or whatever you fancy!
- #17 Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows a web page to make XMLHttpRequests to another domain.Such "cross-domain" requests would otherwise be forbidden by web browsers, per the same origin security policy. CORS defines a way in which the browser and the server can interact to determine whether or not to allow the cross-origin request.
