Write a Blackberry application

Push is a very interesting feature to add to your application. It can dramatically enhance the performance and the user experience of your application. The BlackBerry Push Service has always been a major part of the BlackBerry platform and provides an extremely efficient way for delivering real-time data to users without requiring your app to run all the time. One of the main component of the BlackBerry Push SDK is the Push Initiator. The Push Initiator is the application that actually creates the push request and submits it to the push proxy gateway (PPG). As a developer, you can choose the library of your choice to develop the push initiator. In this blog post, I would like to show you how to use NodeJS to initiate the push. NodeJS provides a very simple and efficient way to submit your push requests to the PPG. It does not involve installing the SDK, setting up the web server and so on. You simply have to install NodeJS and write a few lines of java script to get this working. Let’s take a closer look.
