We can’t kick off the weekend without a brain twister, can we? 😀 Here’s our third problem to keep you company by Tuesday, April 16th, 10:00 AM GMT! That’s the deadline to submit your awesome solutions. Do not forget about the rules and submit your results here.

The Cloud Warehouse

Undoubtedly, you are familiar with cloud storage. Still, have you ever wondered how they are designed? To find out, you need to address some of the problems that are most frequently encountered while such a model is being shaped.

Can Web Security Be Fun?

Security is a big issue for all developers when writing code. Any senior web engineer is familiar with common security problems like SQL injections, XSS vulnerabilies, LFI, Session poisoning, just to name a few.

We are not going to get into these right now since the web is already full of resources describing how much damage they can do and how to avoid the danger. We all know what they are made of and how they work.

Learning Through Exposure – It Started with an Internship

It’s a commonly accepted fact that in order to succeed in something, you have to surround yourself with people and ideas that push you in the right direction. To that effect, I want to make it clear that, when you become a 4PSA Clouder, nothing can stop you from becoming the next rock star in software.

The Early Years

When I started writing code for a living, everything seemed freakishly complex. Why? Because there was no one around to guide me through the rough terrain of learning different APIs at once, to point out the mistakes in my design, and offer advice on how to code better and faster.

Spring’s here, and so is our second problem! Time to enjoy nature, play treasure hunt, and write an App about it. Or vice versa. 🙂

Either way, do not forget about the rules. The deadline to submit your solutions is Tuesday, April 9nd, 10:00 AM GMT. Results must be submitted here.

Facebook Lost And Found

Johnny is out on a trip together with his friends. They want to have some fun by putting their smartphones to the test. Johnny is the tech oriented kind of person, so he is thinking of writing a phone App for him and his friends to play outdoors.

REST Best Practices: Managing Concurrent Updates

In a previous article, we described how to choose a HTTP method when implementing operations that affect resources. Today, we are going to explain how to implement services that manage concurrent operations on a resource and how clients should use such services.

The Problem

Sometimes, Apps must handle concurrent updates on a resource. Just imagine an application that acts like a Wiki, where users read, write, and edit articles.

Ever since our release of the world’s first UC software in 2006, all service providers have been asking for a way to turn communication into a more personal experience. After 2 years of intense development, we are finally ready to make the big announcement.

The entire 4PSA team proudly announces the release of TouchMeNow, a revolutionary solution that bundles software and hardware to deliver a previously unimaginable communication experience. Making use of haptic technology, TouchMeNow incorporates an unexpected, but highly desired element to Unified Communications: touch.

The first problem might look like a warm-up, but it’s a bit more complicated than it seems. 🙂

Meet PayBot

Johnny runs a successful company. One of his biggest challenges is figuring out how much to pay his employees. Johnny is sure you can design a system that can automatically determine this.

Once again, we have a lot of openings for the 2013 Summer Internship in Bucharest, Romania. You can find the full list on the Stagiipebune website.

Our selection process is very similar to last year’s – basically every week we will publish at least one problem. You have to solve it and send us the solution.

The Apps Team Takes The Scene

In one of our previous articles, we provided a short intro on 4PSA’s internal organization. Today, you can have a closer look at the Apps Team.

Who We Are

We are a bunch of passionate young developers who like taking up new challenges. Ranging from interns to seniors, from designers to coders, from cheerful to introspective, and from inquisitive to amenable, there is one thing we all have in common: we want to build great Apps.

Enable BYOD For SMBs

Several days ago at WHD.global 2013, I gave a presentation on BYOD and I think it is worth sharing it with those of you who did not attend.

What the heck is BYOD, you might ask yourselves. 😀 Before anything else, it’s a pretty complicated name for a process that is quite simple. BOYD allows employees to use their own devices for business purposes.
