A long time ago, websites used to be a bunch of files, and if you're lucky they were attached to a database. It was simple, you update the database and the site updates. Planning how to utilise and optimise technology to help in the running InDEx was something I spent a lot of time thinking about. In this blog post, I wanted to share how I, with InDEx, utilise technology to make me more productive, automate processes and be efficient when conducting research. Technology is a great resource when used correctly, and it is not as expensive as you might think. With InDEx, it actually saves money by ensuring we provision servers to meet demand and not have them active...

This is the final post of the two part series for creating a MEAN stack user authentication framework with SMS verification. You can read about setting up the back-end server here. This blog post will explore the development of the IONIC app for both Android and iOS; including the ability to call our API to validate an SMS number using Authy. Below is an example of the Login App we are going to create. All the code will be available on my GitHub page here. This repo contains the Login App and back-end server. Take note of the comments within the ReadMe file. I am using the MEAN stack, but you can use any type of environment as the principles...

In this mini two part series I am going to share some code and guidance on how to use Twilio/Authy for user SMS authentication using a MEAN stack enviorment to create a full authentication system for a mobile phone app (iOS/Android) or web app. This blog post will explore the development of the backend server; including API, MongoDB database and authenticating users. A follow-up post will explore the creation of the IONIC app (can be adapted to web app) and will be live in a couple of days. The series will cover: Registration, validation and storing of user credentials. Authy authentication and SMS messaging Log in a user using token based authentication. Protect routes and app states based...
