In this application we will be utilizing the Pusher Android SDK's client-side library to quickly build a real-time data table.

The flow of the app is that when the user launches the app, (s)he will fill out a form to add a new employee to an employees table and click a “save” button. This will send a POST request to our server. In this tutorial, we will use a simple NodeJS server to provide a single API endpoint. Once our server receives the POST request, it will render the data to all connected clients, which will show the data on their tables in realtime.
