27 JUNE 2018 Hello, cloud enthusiasts! Last month, I told you about the roll-out of Call for Code, a global initiative that challenges developers to build sustainable software solutions that address natural disaster preparedness. Well since then, we've been hard at work creating a wide range of useful resources to help you harness and combine cloud and other technologies to bring about real, positive change. A couple of examples... See how The Weather Company has started giving developers access to weather-related APIs that tap into a broad range of data related to current conditions, forecasts, and severe weather data. Build innovative back-end mobile-based apps that address natural disasters such as drought. This code pattern demonstrates a solution that is ideal for situations like this. Find out how to achieve reliability, scalability, and trust in natural disaster preparedness and relief. There's plenty more content (both published and in development) where that came from. Find out more about how you can answer the Call for Code, and help us show the world how innovation and technology can be a force for good. And be sure to check the listings below for our latest cloud development resources. See something you like? Spread the word using our "Forward to a friend" link in the lower right. Got a question or comment? You can reach us through our feedback form. Thanks for helping make the world a better place! John Swanson - Managing Editor, developerWorks Cloud Computing Latest developer resources Get started with the IBM Cloud Private Pattern for IBM PureApplication Use the IBM Cloud Private (ICP) pattern for IBM PureApplication to deploy and manage IBM Cloud Private Community Edition (CE) or Enterprise Edition (EE) clusters. This tutorial shows you how to install the pattern, and describes the IBM Cloud Private topologies that the pattern templates deploy as well as the administrative operations available after deployment. IBM Microservices Specialization course on Coursera This course is designed to show app developers and network administrators the benefits of microservices architecture and container-based applications. Learn how to develop and deploy microservices applications with Kubernetes on IBM Cloud and IBM Cloud Private via a continuous-release pipeline. Build and compare models using IBM SPSS Modeler Prepare data and build a predictive model using IBM SPSS Modeler to assess the risk of a loan application, and either approve the application and give the loan to a customer or reject the application. Optimize queries in Cloudant Learn several methods for optimizing your queries when using Cloudant NoSQL DB. This tutorial provides an in-depth look at the most suitable queries for each application scenario, so you can get the most efficient data query service for your application. Use MQTT to stream real-time data MQTT is a real-time publish subscribe protocol that's well suited for efficient distribution of data. Using a series of microservices, you can convert existing open data about the NY State power grid into an open, real-time streaming service. Render your data useless to hackers If you're building an application that stores personal information, then data security is not an option -- it's a must. Learn how to easily infuse security into your application with Hyper Protect Crypto Services and key management services to render data useless to hackers.
