For this series, we are developing an iOS game called “TapMe”. As TapMe is a multiplayer game, it provides registration for the new users and login for the existing ones. In this article, we are going to demonstrate how to handle user registration and login, as well as how to store a player’s information in…

Some Backendless users choose to use REST APIs in their JavaScript projects. While many can simply use our pre-packaged JS-SDK, that SDK may not always be able to achieve the result the user is seeking. In this article,  we’re going to show you how to build a custom and very light API client library for working with Backendless API. Some…

Backendless gives you the capability to implement your own License Manager for creating and validating product licenses for your customers. Here, we examine how to put this into action using JavaScript and API services.

We strive to empower software developers like you to build apps without spending any time on monotonous and repetitive coding tasks. In most cases, a developer working with Backendless should barely think about the server-side and focus entirely on the user experience. Backendless and…

This is Part 2 of a series of articles where we build a mobile app without any coding. The app we are working on is a ToDo app.  In the previous post, we did the following: Set up a Backendless (backend) account. Set up a Dropsource (frontend) account. Implemented (without any coding of course) an application…

In one of our previous articles, we showed how to develop a custom Alexa skill using an example of a Trip Planner app (How To Build A Dialogue Custom Alexa Skill Using JavaScript (Without Lambda). In this article, we will show you a more complex example of the interaction between Alexa and the user. Today,…
