19. There's More to Learn about FCM

Where to Go for More

FCM has documentation for both Android and setting up server code:

• The Android documentation is here
• Documentation about how messages are sent from FCM to client is here
• Detailed information about setting up an FCM server like my Squawker server is here

You can check out this blog post for an example of some Node.js code for setting up an FCM server. The library that I used for the Squawker server is called fcm-node.

Finally, as mentioned before, if you're interested in learning more about Android and Firebase, consider taking Udacity's Firebase in a Weekend course for Android. The class is free and walks you through the creation of a real time chat app with user accounts, photo sharing and more, using Firebase as a backend.
