Case Study: An Android App for Managing Jobs on a Cluster
This session will cover the design of an Android phone application which can be used for managing PBS jobs running on parallel computer clusters. This is a good case study for developing a medium complexity app with performance issues. Methods of implementation and testing will also be discussed. Presenters: Chris Schance, Amit Jain
Designing iOS Applications
Learn tips and techniques to design beautiful iPhone and iPad applications.
Making money with Windows Phone
Striking it rich in a mobile marketplace is a very intriguing and yet intimidating idea. In this session I break down my experience with Alchemy, a relatively successful Silverlight game. I talk about the approach I took which has allowed a significant portion of my revenue to include app sales and not just advertisements. I'll be sharing hard numbers and analytics from the last year, and tips that I believe are best practices for building an engaging and compelling app.
Windows Phone Development w/ HTML5 and PhoneGap
Last fall Nitobi and Microsoft announced that the HTML5-powered cross-platform mobile application development framework known as PhoneGap would support Windows Phone 7.5 (also known as “Mango”). With PhoneGap developers can write their application once and target iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and now Windows Phone. This announcement doesn’t preclude the end of native development. Rather it gives us the range of development options that match the variety of our business models and needs. During this session I’ll be providing a brief background on PhoneGap and other HTML5 mobile frameworks. We’ll talk about why and when it makes sense to choose these over a native approach. There will be code, there will be demos, and we’ll see what limits (if any) we reach on an actual device.
