Web of Things over IoT and Its Applications
We all are more or less familiar with the term IoT, but what is WoT and how does IoT relate to WoT? How much is WoT required in our society? What are the possible applications of WoT? Are there any applications enabling WoT actually in the market? In this article, we will try to explore the answers to these questions.

Realtime APIs: Mike Amundsen on Designing for Speed and Observability
In a recent apidays webinar, Mike Amundsen, trainer and author of the recent O’Reilly book “API Traffic Management 101”, presented “High Performing APIs: Architecting for Speed at Scale”. Drawing on recent research by IDC, he argued that organisations will have to drive systemic changes in order to meet the upcoming increased demand of consumption of business services via APIs.

The Challenges of Building a Reliable Real-Time Event-Driven Ecosystem
Globally, there is an increasing appetite for data delivered in real time; we are witnessing the emergence of the real time API. When it comes to event-driven APIs engineers can choose between multiple different protocols. In addition to choosing a protocol, engineers also have to think about subscription models, too: server-initiated (push-based) or client-initiated (pull-based).

Interview about Wallaby.js and Quokka.js JavaScript Productivity Tools
Wallaby.js and Quokka.js are JavaScript/TypeScript productivity tools that provide additional capabilities within IDEs such as VS Code, WebStorm or Atom. Quokka.js provides additional runtime value introspection information within context in an IDE, while Wallaby.js provides distraction-free testing by providing test results within the IDE. Today we’re joined by Simon McEnlly, COO at Wallaby.

The Opportunity in App Modernization
The twin pressures of servicing apps running in production and modernizing them to the cloud are putting stress on development and platform teams. App Modernization needs to scale and be made efficient through documentation, products and frameworks. This article looks at the reasons, and approach, to app modernization.

Programming Microcontrollers with JavaScript -- Q&A with Peter Hoddie and Lizzie Prader
JavaScript developers can now write IoT software on a large range of devices, including low-specs micro-controllers with as little as 32KB of memory. As the TC53 committee and companies like Moddable create standards and software for the interoperability of heterogeneous hardware, IoT companies may tap in a large pool of JavaScript developers, and leverage the productivity of a scripting language.

Don’t Mix the Paint! Primitives and Composites in the World of Software
Because software is created from synthetic primitives (code, interfaces, requirements, etc.), engineers must accept that assumptions are often wrong, and adopt a mindset of challenging everything. Creating a system that continually tests the assumptions can help actualize the mindset.
