A Workshop next week"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since Pulse, when <a href=\"http:\/\/redmonk.com\/jgovernor\/2014\/04\/27\/remaking-pulse-bold-impact-the-defibrillator\/\">Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson stood up at an IBM event and livecoded in Node.js<\/a>, deploying to IBM&#8217;s Cloudfoundry implementation, called <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.ibm.com\/bluemix\/\">BlueMix<\/a>, its been pretty clear that popular Web APIs was a great way to make the case for the virtues of platform as a service. In case you don&#8217;t know Twilio, it finally cracked the code on turning mobile telecoms services like SMS into easy to code APIs.  <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Shoreditch Works, the event space and coworking business I founded, signed a sponsorship deal with IBM, and we&#8217;ve been running a series of events with the company. Next week is a training day and meetup. It should be a great way to learn more about CloudFoundry from the UI or command line perspective, and I am really pleased that IBM persuaded Twilio, now a Shoreditch stalwart to get involved &#8211; and I know their will be some live Ruby coding. <\/p>\n<p>So whether you&#8217;re building modern Java or Node apps, or Ruby, CloudFoundry is an environment you consider. Perhaps most importantly it is portable &#8211; a number of major vendors are going to support CloudFoundry deployment, whether that be GoPivotal itself, which originally built the PaaS, or HP, for example. There may be &#8220;cooler&#8221; options out there, such as Flynn, but they don&#8217;t have the enterprise support. <\/p>\n<p>CloudFoundry is very easy to deploy Web apps too. Indeed- Shoreditch Works now even run a WordPress instance on it. <\/p>\n<p>For IBM customers and partners, it&#8217;s a no brainer to consider it. So you should come along next week for this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/bluemix-workshop-tickets-11790954061\">BlueMix day<\/a> to find out more.
