In order to learn new technologies I often watch webinars and videos. For Bluemix there pretty good technical webinars with great speakers, mostly from the development teams. Unfortunately they are...

Serverless Computing is often useful in event-driven Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios. For example when IoT sensors exceed a certain temperature actions are invoked to fix the issue. OpenWhisk i...

Serverless Computing is a relative new technology which allows developers to build event driven code which scales and for which you only pay the time it’s running. OpenWhisk is IBM’s serverless com...

For the development of Internet of Things applications it’s often useful to simulate devices. Below are two options which are easy to use. The instructions describe how to connect to the IBM Watso...

OpenWhisk is an event-driven compute platform that executes code in response to events or direct invocations. The advantage is that you only have to pay for actual usage, not for peaked projections...

LoopBack is a great Node.js framework for building APIs. In the easiest case business objects can be defined declaratively and LoopBack generates REST APIs, the documentation of the APIs, the persi...

In addition to Cloud Foundry, Docker and Virtual Maschines Bluemix provides a fourth compute option OpenWhisk. OpenWhisk is an event-driven compute platform that executes code in response to events...

This week my colleagues David Barnes, Ryan Baxter, James Thomas, Thomas Bück, Timo Roeseler and I attended JAX in Mainz/Germany which was attended by 2000 people, mostly Java developers. There was ...

There is a lot of talk about artificial intelligence (AI) these days, especially since Google’s AlphaGo beat a Go world champion. Companies like IBM are using this technology already in a number of...

At JavaLand we presented how to steer Anki Overdrive cars with IBM Bluemix via speech and gesture recognition. Since the cars send their position data to the cloud we could also demonstrate a simpl...
