Chromecast nos abre las puertas

By On

Chromecast es un dispotivo HDMI, de Google, que permite llevar el audio y el video de Neflix, Hulu, Google Play y del navegador Chrome directamente hasta el televisor o cualquier otra pantalla que permite lectura HDMI.

Chromecast tiene un valor USD35, y por ese valor, vino a desplazar por completo los SmartTV de Samsung o incluso Apple TV.

Hoy Google ha anunciado que, a partir de hoy, cualquier desarrollador puede crear sus propias aplicaciones web o móviles que interactúen directamente con Chromecast. Esto, posiblemente, abra nuevas formas de entretenimiento y de comunicación, tanto para la casa como para la oficina.

De aqui en adelante nos corresponde a los desarrolladores hacer usar nuestra imaginación y crear cosas que hace 5 meses eran impensables.

Si quieren, pueden darle un vistazo a la documentación oficial, descargar el SDK y empezar a jugar. Nosotros, sin duda, empezaremos a jugar desde hoy. Nos gustaría que nos mantengas informado de su próximo gran proyecto.

Social networks are an important factor for the recognition of our company. Nowadays when we seek for an organization’s profile on Facebook or any other social network, and it does not have one, immediately suspicions begin to bloom.

We have heard that presence on social networks is useless. It may have been true a few years ago, but today everything has changed. Social media offers to our company presence, as well as a great channel through our clients and their futures can find us. We can also interact and learn more about their needs, in addition, it is an easy, fast and effective way of communication. 
We must emphasize that one of the most important things are the posts giving life to our business, the more social networks you are in, the more presence you will have on the Internet. There you can create and tell about the company, interesting things, offers, discounts, sales, do social marketing, solve customer doubts, make customers attract more customers through their updates …

For a better understanding of what Scrum agile framework I have to explain what Agile Methodology is in Project management.

What is Agile Methodology?

Agile methodology is a practice that promotes continuous iteration of development and testing throughout the software development life-cycle of the project.

Agile Methodology and the 4 core values

1. Individuals and Interactions Over Processes and Tools:
The first value in the Agile Manifesto is “Individuals and interactions over processes and tools.” Valuing people more highly than processes or tools is easy to understand because it is the people who respond to business needs and drive the development process.

2. Working Software Over Comprehensive Documentation:
