Nexmo Verify API with Swift and Javasript

Getting started with Nexmo 2FA using a Node Server and Swift Application

NotelyServer NotelyApp

Before you begin, our tutorial assumes a few things:

  • You have a server/some endpoints you can serve to your iOS application.
  • You are using a dependency manager like Carthage or Cocoa Pods
  • You have secured your API keys from Nexmo (very quick and easy process!)
First step in ensuring dragon health and human safety would be to build out the following:
1) A cool cave for the dragons to rest in, which must be large enough for 4 large dragons, in case of any pregnancies.
2) Provide a drinking area for dragons to hydrate

Question #4
I must admit that when I heard about this opportunity and what Zappos was doing, I was pretty excited. I know that a lot of companies are starting to go the way of creating their developers in house due to the high demand of each, particularly in Ruby. What's exciting is that I've read a lot about the culture at Zappos, which is something that is discussed all the time in the startup scene.

When things like Blogger, MySpace, Facebook and YouTube first started coming around, some users were skeptical. Why would they put what they were doing or how they were feeling online? Who was really going to read it and what purpose did it serve? A few years later, users became more inclined to share data and their lives online, yet it was still seen as a “young persons thing” to be on these networks and participating. Now, see people of all ages utilizing these networks and sharing multiple times throughout the day.
First myth, “My customers aren’t on these networks, so that’s worthless to me.” To limit your brand to a certain demographic that may not be using social media is just ridiculous. Why not grow your brand and allow consumers to interact with you? You can only gain knowledge and further insight into how you are seen by your customers.
The next myth, “I c
