Some form-based applications need to continuously monitor for text changes to perform the front-end form validations. This can be achieved by implementing the android.text.TextWatcher interface. The TextWatcher interface provides the following three callback methods, that are called while the text view is being updated.

Today, we are releasing a plugin that allows customers to use the Titan graph engine with Amazon DynamoDB as the backend storage layer. It opens up the possibility to enjoy the value that graph databases bring to relationship-centric use cases, without worrying about managing the underlying storage. The importance of relationships. Relationships are a fundamental aspect of both the physical and virtual worlds.

When developing mobile Android and iOS applications, the user experience is often more important than what your application actually offers. A quick and very easy enhancement you can implement in your application is in the realm of form validation. Best practice says that you should always validate user inputted data via the back-end and I agree. However, by validating via the front-end as well, it can make improvements to your user experience.

I was recently lucky enough to get to attend my first SIGGRAPH conference this year. While I didn’t attend any talks, I did spend some time in the expo. Here is a collection of some of the neat things I saw at SIGGRAPH 2015. Sorry it’s not more collected; I didn’t have the intention of writing a blog post until after folks kept asking me “how was it?

The volatile nature of tech companies makes them better suited to equity funding as opposed to debt. Equity is high-risk capital: owners are exposed to the upside of growth (you stand to make a lot of money), but also the downside of failure (you stand to lose everything you put in). Debt is not: how much risk is there to the lender when the borrower guarantees a return?

When you write your first web application, chances are you’re going to query a database. When you write it in PHP, chances are it’ll look like this: $mysqli = new mysqli("example.com", "user", "password", "database"); $result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM product"); $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); Before long, you have to start handling user input, which means escaping: $mysqli = new mysqli("example.com", "user", "password", "database"); Read more.

The internet can be an awful place sometimes. Let’s say you created a website or blog with WordPress that recently became popular and are now getting a ton of traffic. If it hasn’t happened already, you’re going to get a lot of bad traffic mixed in. By bad traffic I mean bots and crawlers that probably don’t benefit your WordPress site because it isn’t real human traffic or well established search engine crawlers.

If you’ve been keeping up with my blog and tutorials, you’ll know that I’ve done quite a few posts on Ionic Framework. I’ve been hearing a lot about React Native lately so I figured it is time to give it a shot. There are 6,500 languages and roughly seven billion people in the world. Chances are your native language is only known by a small piece of the global population.

I’m always trying to add more flair to the mobile applications that I develop whether it be through slick user interfaces or graphics. For a while now I’ve wanted to mess around with charts in my mobile applications, but it kept getting pushed to my development back-burner. I decided to push myself to give it a shot. Using Ionic Framework to build mobile Android and iOS applications, you’re left with a few possibilities for adding charts because so many JavaScript libraries exist.

I recently picked up an iPad Air 2 to replace my ancient Android tablet. My first serious iOS device since my iPod Touch. A feature that I’m really growing to love on my iPad Air 2 is the touch id functionality for signing into the device and various applications. How do we incorporate this touch id functionality into our own iOS applications? More importantly, how do we do this in Ionic Framework ?
