Hackathon – useful links
hey guys – we have gathered all the actual resources here in one page http://quickblox.com/hackathon/
this is useful for Hackathon teams over this weekend but also for anybody who is looking into QuickBlox right now
it reflects which modules, sample codes, APIs and SDKs are available right now
API Documentation
Our team has done a great job over the last few weeks to bring together all the features and functions of QuickBlox together and in one place, the QuickBlox Wiki.
Here you can find all you need to know about registering to QuickBlox, integrating your app with QuickBlox and how to add the SuperSamples to your apps.
Each module has an API description showing you how to add the QuickBlox functions. You may have been thinking about adding video streaming or maps, just read the content or location module to find out how. Or you are struggling to integrate Facebook into your app, the Users API will guide you.
The APIs are structured to flow simply step by step making it as simple as possible for you. If there are any issues are support team are always available to help you with any queries.
If you have been struggling to integrate with QuickBlox, we have made a 5 min video to guide you through the first few steps and how to add the iOS SuperSample. You can also read how to here.
How to create Chat and other services using Location API
Hello, everyone!
We have a piece of useful information for QuickBlox clients and those, who are interested to become one in future. Today we’ve published a brand new article named “How to create Chat and other services using Location API” on the wiki.quickblox.com. Read more
Migrating from SimpleGEO to QuickBlox Location
As you may know, Urban Airship is deprecating SimpleGEO as a stand-alone service.
Parse have launched an import tool that allows developers to import their SimpleGEO data into Parse.
We are also happy to welcome SimpleGEO users to QuickBlox to try out our Location module. The API and admin panel of the Location module allow you to store and manage POIs and users within your app, along with a number of other geolocation features.
The module works with both GoogleMaps and Bing – the strengths of the module are illustrated by our SuperSamples which are a mashup of Location and Chat. You can download the MapChat sample code for iOS, Android and Windows Phone to see how it works. This sample makes it easier for you to understand how to integrate great functions into your apps through a real case example.

- Map + Chat Android code sample

- Map + Chat Web/Facebook code sample
Map+Chat concept
I’ll use this opportunity to tell you a bit more about our Map+Chat concept – read more about it below.
QuickBlox at Winter Hackathon
We are proud to announce our sponsorship at the WinterHackathon in London.
“Apps for the games” is the focus of the 2012 Winter Hackathon.
More than a million people – athletes, media personnel, sports administrators, spectators – will visit London in July/August 2012 for the summer games.
We can assume two things about them: most will want to engage with the city outside of the games, and almost all will have a mobile phone.
We’re devoting our Winter Hackathon in late January 2012 to the creation of mobile apps for these visitors – from event and location finders to shopping and leisure services – to help them to explore and enjoy the delights of the city and surrounding counties.
We are offering the use of our platform during the event and before hand. We are giving a prize to the winner of the Travel Planner category. The prize is a years worth of QuickBlox at the £50 level.
Also our Chairman Nate Macleitch will be dissecting and playing with the apps as a member of the judging panel. Other sponsors include BlackBerry, Vodafone and BT.

Happy New Year!!!
Dear clients and friends of QuickBlox! From the whole team at QuickBlox we wish you a Happy New Year, and to enter 2012 with fresh new energy to create amazing things.
2011 has been a very interesting year for Injoit as we have grown significantly, we have had a number of professional and great people joining our Kharkov and London teams and also as distant workers. Sometimes people leave bigger companies and join us for lower initial salary – they love the climate in our company and the projects we work on – that is also thanks to you and your great attitude to us for which we cannot thank you enough.
A huge achievement of 2011 is the QuickBlox platform – thanks to your work with us we have studied the typical requirements for server-side/cloud support of mobile apps and have created a platform which allows to achieve your goals faster and build more advanced, socially integrated and engaging applications. We are looking forward to bring its power into your projects in 2012. A number of our customers already benefit from this platform, in many cases they not only benefit from functionality and reliability of the cloud infrastructure, but also some of our customers earn from it, reselling it as SaaS subscription to their clients. We are happy to see that and will be doing everything to support you in that. We have done the technical bit but rely on your creative implementations and hope you keep considering the platform for all your new projects.
