(with AeroGear)
Type: Tools in Action
Abstract: Today, it’s a fact: mobile and smartphones sales are double than personal computers. Tomorrow, enterprise applications will be mobile apps. What are the challenges of mobile apps: accessing RESTful services, paging, data storage, security features... But not only your device interacts with cloud services, enterprise applications interact with registered devices providing you valuable contextual information.
Do you want to see it in action? We will drive you through a step by step approach from consuming OpenData services, reading/paging broad set of data to dealing with push notifications. With plumbing done for you, accessing REST services feels fluent using iOS AeroGear libraries. In no time, you’ll get your iOS native app running.
Type: BOF
Abstract: With the growth rate of mobile devices, there is a high demand for building native and secure iPhone & iPad applications that have access to a JavaEE server. This BOF session gives a practical overview on how to build native mobile apps, that use the AeroGear iOS library to access private and cloud-enabled JavaEE applications. The library has rich API support for accessing RESTful services, data storage and security features built specifically for mobile like OTP (One-Time-Password). The session ends with an outlook to future developments of the AeroGear project!
My Comment: proposal from Matthias, not sure I feel confortable with BOF, wdyt?
Type: Quickie
Abstract: You boss wants you to build a native app for iPhone accessing your enterprise cloud-based server. But wait, that’s mean iOS environment and you’re more a Java guy. You're scared of this barbarian syntax? Relax Objective-C is a cool dude. Xcode is not a bad guy, he’ll help you. Using template, you get up and running in no time. UI designing with interface builder and story boards are dead easy to start with. How to do plumbing for accessing REST services feels fluent using iOS AeroGear libraries. In no time, you’ll get your iOS native app running, trust me.
Type: Tools In Action
Abstract: One of the many challenges developers face when building mobile applications for a business backend, is notification messaging and handling. Each mobile platform offers its own proprietary notification mechanism, such as Apple's Push Notification Service (APNS) and Google's Cloud Messaging platform (GCM). Further, with recent developments mobile vendors are pushing their notification mechanism into the web with their own different API's. We can realize that there is a need for a 'Unified' Push mechanism that will integrate all these mechanisms under a single entry point, offer valuable services on top such as selective sends and broadcasts and be flexible enough so it can be easily integrated in any business backend.
Come and join us, we will show you in action how AeroGear's Unified Push Project can help to 'Push' enabled your backend across discrete mobile platforms (and have fun in between!)
