Get Started with Kinvey
The cloud offers so much promise, but many cloud offerings can be notoriously difficult to navigate – even for an experienced developer. Progress Kinvey makes the cloud easier. In this session, we’ll take a look at building our first application using Kinvey. We’ll explore features like the cloud datastore, authentication and serverless functions – all from the developer’s perspective (i.e. with code samples).

Everything You Need to Node
Do you know Node? You’ve probably heard of or even used Node but do you know all the things you can do with Node? You may have heard Node described as JavaScript for the backend. Although you can create backend applications, it’s not exclusively used to develop backend apps. Since Node is a JavaScript runtime, it allows you to execute JavaScript in a computing environment rather than a browser environment. Oh the possibilities!
