Node Red Programming Guide! Do you want to get started programming Node-Red?  If so CHECK OUT THESE LECTURES. The Node RED programming Guide is a series of lectures designed to introduce you to Node-RED - the new visual programming tool for the IoT. It will take you from the basics right through to advanced Node-RED programming. It is targeted at two types of readers - those who are new to the IoT and want to quickly prototype IoT applications and those who are already familiar with the IoT who want to understand Node-RED. The guide is structured into three sections, sections 1 (Lectures 1-4) introduces Node-RED and walks through a series of examples to explain its programming model, its basic nodes/features and how it can be used to access a variety of real world data sources. We use a hosted cloud based version of Node-RED so that readers don't have to worry about the details of installing and managing Node-RED. Section 2 (Lectures 5-7) explores in more detail Node-RED...

nogotofail - sounds like a function I would write in some code when things go very wrong in my code (that would never happen, surely?!)

Here's my latest article on Installing MobileFirst Platform Server v7.1 on WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.  (Including Operational Analytics and Application Center). If you've ever installed MFP using WLP  you'll realise that it's very easy to do and very simple to get up and running.  In fact, if you've installed Eclipse and downloaded the MFP plug-in from the Marketplace, you will be using WLP under the covers. Whilst MFP and WLP is great for development, if you want to go BIG, you need to install onto WAS ND .  Whilst this sounds simple enough, just replacing one Application Server for another, the difference between WLP and WAS ND is quite large and the skillsets are very different. Follow through the steps I take you through in this set of Pages (with VIDEOS!) and let's de-mystify installing MFP onto WAS ND. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WALK THROUGH
