Upcoming Presentation: Android Developer Conference

Turns out I will be speaking at the Android Developer Conference (AnDevCon) in Santa Clara, California on December 1st, 2015 to December 3rd, 2015.

If you’re unfamiliar with AnDevCon, it is a big deal. It is probably one of the better, if not the best, development conferences focusing on everything Android.

Per the AnDevCon website:

AnDevCon is the technical conference for professional software developers and engineers building Android apps. Offering mobile app development training, embedded Android secrets, and Android app development tutorials and classes, AnDevCon is the biggest, most info-packed, most practical Android conference in the world.

Using PassportJS In Your Node.js And Couchbase Web App

I was at an event not too long ago where someone recommended I take a look at PassportJS for my Node.js applications. In case you’re unfamiliar with PassportJS, it is an authentication middleware that makes it easy to work with logins, whether they are with basic login, or with social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter.

Being that I’m into different authentication techniques, as seen in my other oauth articles, I figured it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do a walkthrough on PassportJS with Express Framework for Node.js.

Create A Full Stack App Using Node.js & Couchbase Server

Previously I wrote about how to create an AngularJS application with PouchDB and Couchbase. The way I demonstrated is of course one way to accomplish the job of using Couchbase in a web application. This time around we’re going to take a look at creating a full stack application using the Couchbase, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js (CEAN) stack.

You might be familiar with the MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS, and Node.js (MEAN) stack, but I’m going to show you that this is just as possible with Couchbase and even easier to do.

We’re going to see how to install and configure all four of the CEAN stack services as well as make a very simple application out of them.

Upcoming Presentation: ConnectJS 2015

In case you’re in the area and are interested, I will be in Atlanta, Georgia on October 16 and October 17 speaking at ConnectJS. This is a conference focusing on JavaScript development and mobile application development.

I will be giving two presentations titled Quick and Easy Development with Node.js and Couchbase Server and Developing For Offline Mobile Experiences.

Upcoming Presentation: Silicon Valley Code Camp 2015

In case you’re interested in seeing me present on Node.js or Ionic Framework and Couchbase, I’ll be giving two talks at the free to attend Silicon Valley Code Camp in San Jose, California. It is the weekend of October 3rd to October 4th.

The title of my talks are Quick and Easy Development with Node.js and Couchbase Server and Cross Platform Storage & Sync with Couchbase and Ionic Framework. The abstracts for both these talks can be seen below.

Upcoming Presentation: Couchbase Live NYC 2015

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. It is free to attend this conference, so if you’re in the area, please swing by.

My presentation will be on Node.js and is titled Getting Started: Couchbase Server Node.js SDK.

The abstract to my talk is as follows:

Upcoming Presentation: Phoenix Mobile Festival

In case I’m in your part of the world, I’ll be giving a talk at the Phoenix Mobile Festival in Phoenix, Arizona on September 19th, 2015. I encourage you to attend or at least swing by and say hello.

The title of my talk is Building Offline First Mobile Applications and the abstract is as follows:

What happens when your mobile device does not have a network connection? That device will have no content, no experience and the amazing application that you spent so much effort to build just simply will not work.

You will gain knowledge in NoSQL databases technologies and walk away with insights on how to create offline type of applications that to sync to the cloud with Couchbase Mobile.

This is a free event, so if you’re available and are interested in learning about mobile technologies, mark it on your calendar. Based on the listed agenda there are going to be a lot of fun topics.
