    Why "Cloud" Is A Dirty Word

    The word "cloud" gets thrown around a lot these days, but what exactly is "the cloud"? Is it a database? Is it email? Is it a backup service? Although the term has lost most of it's meaning, the cloud is a growing solution for businesses and organizations of all size. There is something in the cloud for everyone.

    Getting Started with Telerik Everlive - Your Cloud-Based Backend Service

    Imagine yourself developing a new web or hybrid mobile application. One of your first major considerations is probably going to be your application's backend data. The complexity of the backend can be overwhelming to many developers, especially those who have been solely focused on frontend development for some time now. Well today I'd like to walk you through a relatively new offering from Telerik - and that is Telerik Everlive. Telerik Everlive is your "Backend as a Service" (BaaS) which allows you to move your database into the cloud with an automatically generated RESTful service layer, file storage, user management, and notifications all bundled together. Fear the database no more, with Telerik Everlive we handle the heavy lifting for you - all you need to do is write your code!

    What is Cloud Code and Why Should You Care?

    An easy-to-use Back-end-as-a-service (BaaS) can make rapidly developing your app not only a possibility, but an enjoyable experience. A good BaaS will work for simple "CRUD-based" (or "forms-over-data") apps as well as more complicated scenarios. The trouble is that when your app outgrows the simpler scenarios, you often need "hooks" on the server side for things like validation, record transformation and more. When you're using Everlive, this is where "Cloud Code" comes in.
