Electron Demo Available

Nowadays, since browsers and mobile devices got powerful, there has been a constant decline of desktop applications, which are getting replaced by mobile and web apps.

There are a lot of advantages to writing desktop applications and in some context it's still preferable.

GitHub’s Electron framework (formerly known as Atom Shell) wants to give developers new exciting reasons to continue coding them, letting us write cross-platform desktop apps using web technologies (HTML, CSS and JavaScript).

New tvOS Client SDK Now Available

With the release of Apple TV 4th generation, Apple added a new platform for the development and distribution of apps. We are happy to announce that Lightstreamer now supports this new platform as well, with the same APIs provided for iOS and OS X.

The new tvOS Client SDK is directly derived from the iOS SDK version 2.0.0. As such, the API model is pretty identical

We provide also a sample application, our ubiquitous Stock-List Demo, in tvOS flavor on GitHub. Check it out for an example of use of this new SDK.
