Coders Cafe - 2018-11-15 (Thu) Build video streaming iOS and Android apps - Russ Fustino - Wowza

Primary announcement as follows:
Coders Cafe - 2018-11-15 (Thu) - Cendyn Spaces Boca - Build video streaming iOS and Android apps - Russ Fustino - Wowza

Video streaming apps are all the rage and continue to demonstrate rapid growth in usage and creative implementations. Every vertical market has the need for video apps. So, you want to learn how to build a video streaming app, but you don’t know where to get started or you are not a video expert? Or maybe you are just curious about video technology? Then, this session is for you!

To build a live-streaming app for iOS and Android, you don’t have to be a video expert. Using a mobile SDK and cloud streaming service can help you quickly and easily integrate live video into an existing app or service or build a livestream app from the ground up. Using these tools, you can build anything from a basic one-way broadcasting platform to a fully interactive live-streaming app that allows users to create and share their own videos. This is referred to as user generated content. It’s all about the tools, huh?

What about the need for speed? More and more apps demand real-time streaming delivery—such as those for gaming, financial trading, auctions or interactive experiences like HQ Trivia—you need an API that’s built for speed. Learn how to send live streams to destinations around the world with the goal to minimize the latency time it takes to display a live video from glass to glass. That is, from the glass of the recording device glass to the glass of the end viewer’s screen.

Russ is a Developer Evangelist for Wowza and an Apress published book author, "Azure and Xamarin Forms". He’s a recipient of the INETA Lifetime Achievement and Microsoft MVP 2013-2018 awards and is a Xamarin Certified developer for building cross-platform apps (e.g., the Endorsed Jethro Tull App). Russ is a former Developer Evangelist for Microsoft, Russ’ ToolShed, Xamarin and Component One. Follow @RussFustino and @WowzaDev.

What you will learn in this session:

• How to use video streaming in iOS and Android apps.
• How to use video streaming sample code.
• How to reduce latency of the stream.
• Learn about video streaming basics

This meeting will demo and preview the lasted and newest features of Microsoft’s C# language. C# 7.0 now offers developers local functions, record types, pattern matching, non nullable reference types, immutable types, and tuples. The discussion will primarily focus on tuples and how C# developers can use this very hand option in their applications. Bio:

Robert Barr has been developing software since the mid-90’s and is currently a lead Web Developer for Wells Fargo bank. He’s been a C# programmer since 2000 when the language and framework stole him away from fulltime Java development. Robert Barr is also a Microsoft Certified Trainer who recently celebrated his 20 year MCT anniversary. He has published numerous articles and contributed to several books over the past two decades. Robert currently lives in Boynton Beach with his dog and best friend Luna.

Talk tech. Get involved. Free Food. Windstream’s UCaaS Office Suite and SDWAN!

Some comments from our Group Leader:

Many thanks to all attendees for being at  Jennifer Cohen-Louth, Hersel Guerra, and Christine Dickson's presentation on Windstream's SD-WAN and UCaaS Office Suite!

I would also like to welcome a new member to our group, Daniel Sucre.

Welcome Daniel!

We saw how all network traffic can easily be monitored, allocated, tracked, and managed across an organization from a user-friendly (seemed like it to me) web interface. 

• Carrier Agnostic
• Dynamic Failover 
• Bandwidth/Application Performance Monitoring
• Link Steering
• Packet Steering
• FWD Error Correction
• TCP/IP Restransmit

We saw a real-time presentation Windstream's SD-WAN Dynamic Failover work without a hitch during a cell phone call. 

Most any type of call setup you want can be managed and made right from an app.

You can even add you own custom(er) recorded jingle ringtone of you singing while in the shower. It's your choice.

Contact Jennifer anytime to get more info.

Thanks everyone!
