Learn how to get data from your Informix database and dump it in Spark so you can leverage it against other data sources and compile advanced analytics all that in Java. The targeted audience is Informix and non-Informix users seeking to bring RDBMS data into Spark.

In this tutorial, the second in a series of three, you learn how to combine Clojure OpenWhisk actions into sequences that actually receive a request from the browser, process it, and return a usable result.

The third part of this tutorial series goes deeper into joins and more complex queries. Learn how to get data from your Informix database and dump it in Spark so you can leverage it against other data sources and compile advanced analytics all that in Java. The targeted audience is Informix and non-Informix users seeking to bring RDBMS data into Spark.

What code samples do you want to see in the IBM Developer Sandbox?

In Part 4 of this tutorial series, you'll learn how to link external and public data to your existing data to gain insights for your sales team. In this scenario for retail sales, you'll learn how to forecast the hot sales areas for new wins.

In the previous two tutorials, you learned how to write a basic OpenWhisk Clojure application. In Part 3, I'll show you how to improve any such application. First, you'll learn how to support arguments that include double quotes. Then you'll learn how to use a permanent database (Cloudant) instead of a variable to store the information.

In this Top 10 List, Carl Osipov shares his views on why developers will want to choose IBM Cloud as their cloud platform of choice.

The cloud is not secure. Developers know through experience that software and servers get hacked thanks to bad code and insecure Internet connections to remote servers and data centers. You can compare using the cloud to having valuables that are locked up in a suitcase in a parking lot. By nature, both are susceptible to attacks. In this article, we explain the reasons why the cloud is not secure, but we also examine ways to mitigate any insecurities by illustrating some Django examples through the inception of BugHeist.

The second part of this four-part series shows you how to translate the abstract information model for data in your web pages into one of the three formats supported by Schema.org: RDFa, Microdata, and JSON-LD

Schema.org is an initiative originally created by search engine companies and experts to support web publishers by describing the things that web pages are actually about. This series, in which I explain the Schema.org core information model, helps you expand your web developer skills and get a head start on advances in search engine platforms and personal assistants like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa.

In this second installment of a two-part tutorial on how to combine Weather Data and Business Rules IBM Cloud services to automate operational business decisions based on weather conditions, you will take a closer look at the decision operation created in Part 1, learn how to create simple business rules that use weather data and a rule flow that includes these rules, and deploy the decision operation to IBM Cloud. A Node-RED flow will orchestrate a call to the weather data, the Business Rules service, and take action based on the outcome executing business rules.

The different options within IBM Cloud bear diverse requirements to the authentication of users. This article explains the various possibilities on how IBM Cloud users are managed and authenticated. We focus on developers, administrators, or operators that need to log in to the IBM Cloud platform to develop and maintain their applications. Applications that run on top of IBM Cloud can use any authentication method that is appropriate for the application’s purpose.

Part 5 of this tutorial series teaches you how to add machine learning to your data to help you extrapolate future orders.

In this tutorial, you will learn about implementing scalable Node.js applications when you are using the App ID service. This IBM Cloud service allows you to add authentication to your mobile and web apps and protect your APIs and back-ends running on IBM Cloud. App ID provides authentication with email/password through a scalable user registry or you can add social login, so that users can sign in with their Facebook or Google credentials. With App ID, you can also host user profile info that you can use to build engaging experiences.
