You are here because you need to send and receive data between devices in real-time without bothering with the complexities of managing a messaging service. You will typically start by selecting your target platforms first and then mixing/matching the APIs for your supported platform. For example you are building an iOS App for the iPhone using PubNub's Objective-C SDK plus PubNub's Ruby SDK running a Ruby on Rails application server. This would allow you to send messages from your Ruby application server directly to the iPhone in Real-time. You can also add in JavaScript and PHP into the mix while keeping the communication network totally cross-compatible with your ecosystem. JavaScript can speak to Objective-C and Ruby too.
http://www.pubnub.com/console - PubNub Network Developer Console - The PubNub Network Developer's Console is an excellent tool while you build your application or integrate for the network into your ecosystem. The developer's console provides full Publish/Subscribe debugging as well as Storage/Playback and Presence capability.
https://www.mashape.com/pubnub/pubnub-network#documentation - Note: Some APIs require you to have your own PubNub Account. However you may use the
demoPub/Sub keys for testing purposes. Learn the inner mechanics of the PubNub Network APIs with Mashape's REST interface console. Easily issue REST Requests on with pre-defined fields to help you structure your API calls in the correct format.
There are lots of options so start here if you want to find your target platform. The following list of languages and platforms are the PubNub Network Maintained SDKs. There are many languages and SDKs that exist that connect to PubNub Network today. However the PubNub Team has designated the following list as our officially supported SDKs:
