much better than seasoned developers with bunch of awards hanging on their wall. nice work.

Thanks very.

[@danielroyer7517]

will it work with my blog, can i set it up so everytime i put a new article or someone comments and so on??? i have wordpress.

[@karanthesmashing]

awesome

[@juliusdaviesd]

How does the push notification work? I am just a naive user and not a programmer. Does the device keep polling the APNS every minute (like a Chron job) and fetch any new notifications. I would imagine this kind of approach wastes battery.
If not, then how does the apns force or assert its notification upon the device (push). Can that be explained? Thanks!

[@pilysha]

I also want to know this

[@korirelishelisha1802]

Thanks for your video, really nice information. I was wondering if you tried MonadPlug ad network, it’s the best I’ve seen so fa

Great job!!!!! Did you made a video explaining how to do push notification via android app?

[@pepsicoca3465]

Do you have tutorial link or code ? :)) I appreciate if anybody helps me because my problem is "push notification" I dont really start from where :((

[@PabloScorpaniti]

I am studying how to do it but I have also seen that there are already many companies that provide this service. Could you recommend any?

[@thegoodhood]

Azure Hub Notification

[@pgannon1948]

I wish you had stated specifically whether the app has to be running on the users cellphone in order to display the notification.

[@andrealow1228]

I believe he stated you'll receive the notification if your phone is on or off.

[@satpalramgadia692]

higer level query:
So, if you are building App on iOS you will need your own private Application server to process these tokens right? before sending them to Apple's notification server to have them send to users device. If our own Application server is mandatory then can we use iCloud space to store users data instead of storing it on our private Application/DB server? I want to understand at what level we can use Apple's iCloud space each user has. Thanks in advance.

[@jordmax12]

+Satpal Ramgadia I don't think you're understanding it correctly. It doesn't matter where your token is stored, as long as you have it when you try to send the notification. So if you don't have an application server, you would need some way to know WHEN to send a notification (example, when x happens), where you store the token doesn't matter at all. At least this is how I understood it.

[@satpalramgadia692]

ok, thanks. I wanted to know what hardware we will need if we are building such an app. Meaning if we need a physical server in a data center as an application server who will serve as token server.

[@mbabajanov]

Can I contact you? I have a few questions.

[@ricoortiz1477]

Grate explahnahtion. Meh grammher is da bessst!

[@MattBunch]

Security? How does it pass this token around? Can it be stolen? What about certs?

[@goonie79]

can anyone tell me how to measure the cost of push notifications so I can analyze the cost per user?

[@ringoaikocascade]

Well that was one 3 minutes of quality.

[@arseniogrijalva4055]

I bet you can also explain very clearly.How to stop receiving junk mail and also (JM)spilling into my mail box.Thanks in advance.

[@janelord3061]

I'm guessing this is why they send me a "confirmation" text. Instant token.

[@gordonwood7538]

geez... how much does a tripod cost?

[@DataMiningLab]

Yeah, I'm sorry this video is so hard to watch. It was actually filmed on iPad, so I don't think even a tripod would have helped us. :(

[@laitchdasi]
