Rec. Django. TransferWise Raises $1.3M From Index, Others For The Next Disruption In Money Transfer: Crowdsourcing. If you’ve ever had to transfer money from one currency to another, you know that it can be a frustratingly pricey business. Now a new company, TransferWise, has raised seed funding totaling $1.3 million to tackle that problem. TransferWise describes itself as the “Skype of money transfer” because it allows consumers to send money between UK and European accounts for a fraction of the price that banks charge, using a peer-to-peer, “crowdsourced” model to get the best rate on the exchange. (And, also like Skype, it is banking on scaling up the business quickly in order to make some money back on the margin that it loses in individual transactions. So far the service is only available in two currencies, euros and pounds, but there may be more added soon.)

Hinrikus is no stranger to growing along the Skype model: he was the Internet calling giant’s first employee. So how does it work, exactly? Roger Ehrenberg, managing partner at IA Ventures,will join TransferWise’s board of directors. Learn More. Mobile Ambient Analytics Platform The Alohar Mobile Ambient Analytics Platform enables ambient location apps. In other words, it efficiently collects location and other mobile sensor data and quickly analyzes it to understand a smartphone user’s behavior. It achieves this while using the minimal amount of battery necessary on the mobile device. The platform is composed of a smartphone client SDK (software development kit) for Android and iPhone and several cloud-based services. The platform uses mobile location, motion, direction, Wi-Fi and timing data, and our patent-pending PlaceRanking system to learn about the mobile user in real time and over time.

Therefore it provides more advanced functionality than a conventional mobile LBS (location based services) platform. Here are just a few things you can do with the platform: Automatically detect the places (including the name and category) that the user visits. Got questions? Code Year.

This book is about Django, a Web development framework that saves you time and makes Web development a joy. Using Django, you can build and maintain high-quality Web applications with minimal fuss. At its best, Web development is an exciting, creative act; at its worst, it can be a repetitive, frustrating nuisance. Django lets you focus on the fun stuff – the crux of your Web application – while easing the pain of the repetitive bits.

In doing so, it provides high-level abstractions of common Web development patterns, shortcuts for frequent programming tasks, and clear conventions for how to solve problems. At the same time, Django tries to stay out of your way, letting you work outside the scope of the framework as needed. The goal of this book is to make you a Django expert. What Is a Web Framework? Django is a prominent member of a new generation of Web frameworks – but what does that term mean, precisely? #! These problems are precisely what a Web framework intends to solve. What’s Next.

MySQL replication allows you to have an exact copy of a database from a master server on another server (slave), and all updates to the database on the master server are immediately replicated to the database on the slave server so that both databases are in sync. This is not a backup policy because an accidentally issued DELETE command will also be carried out on the slave; but replication can help protect against hardware failures though. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system.
