Summary

PubNub offers software development kits (SDKs) for popular programming languages to expedite the development of real-time applications like chat, IoT, and multiplayer gaming. For those unable to use SDKs or not familiar with programming, PubNub provides an Admin Dashboard that allows users to explore its capabilities without installations, supported by a free plan allowing up to 1 million messages per month. The tutorial covers message passing, chat reactions, presence detection, history retrieval, and serverless functions for customizing message handling both before and after publication. Users can create clients, utilize channels for communication, and experiment with functions such as doubling recipe measurements or sending targeted marketing messages based on chat content. The Admin Dashboard serves as a valuable tool for testing real-time features, encouraging developers to explore PubNub's SDKs and build innovative applications.
