[Fiware-tech-help] I Am Lost

[Philip Claren]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m working on a software project when a friend of mine told me about FI-WARE. It sounded very interesting from a technical and business point of view. I looked into FI-WARE and I have to say I am lost.

I’m the CTO and leading developer of software company and I was not able to figure out how this whole thing works. Maybe this is not a good sign for this whole operation to catch a wide range of developers. But beside this maybe you can help me.

Like I said, I am working on a software project which utilizes Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, Redis and node.js as key technologies. How does this rather common setup fit in in the whole FI-WARE universe? I found tons of texts describing the philosophical direction of the whole project and this is fine, but what about real-world, concrete, actual software? Where is the "Hello World" of FI-WARE?

I very much like what FI-WARE tries to achieve and I also would like to contribute to the whole ecosystem to make it easier for people like me to get a grasp of the whole concept. But first maybe you can help me out with this rather profound problem of understanding how a FI-WARE App looks like in the real world.

I looking forward to hearing from you and best regards,
Philip Claren
