Summary

During the summer of 2014, PubNub hosted a group of interns—Madison, Bhavana, Eric, and Larry—each of whom worked on innovative projects involving the PubNub Data Stream Network. Bhavana created tutorials for connecting Arduino and Raspberry Pi to PubNub, focusing on Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Eric explored iOS development, integrating iBeacon with PubNub and developing geolocation technologies, while Madison implemented MQTT integration for low-powered IoT devices and developed a real-time content feeder for HackerNews. Larry showcased his skills by building various PubNub-powered applications, including a synchronized video playback app and a self-destructing chat app. Each intern was given autonomy in managing their projects, resulting in tangible and customer-facing demos that highlighted their technical capabilities and the versatility of the PubNub platform.
