Always Think like a Framework Creator
Laurent Hasson
The Advisory Board Company
In these days of shrinking schedules, its always tempting to rush things. But if i asked you to drive from Toronto to NY in 5h instead of 10h, youd think i were crazy. Well, most developers do exactly that over and over again: they cut corners early and often and write code that calcifies quickly. In this session, ill make the case that its always better, and often not that much harder, to write your software as if it were a framework, rather than a monolithic app with hardcoded features. Ill take you through the example of building an effect for AliceJS using a 3D cube as a centerpiece. We will start with a hardcoded CSS version, and slowly clean it up and turn it into a neatly packaged and reusable piece of functionality with a simple interface. In the process, well explore some advanced CSS3 capabilities, and the fact that you can do a lot of CSS directly through JavaScript.

Customer Enrollment using Mobile Web and Mobile Imaging
Michael Strange
Chief Technology Officer
Mitek Systems
Smartphone and tablet adoption continues to accelerate. Mobile web utility is expanding. Mobile imaging is a huge trend, driving consumer adoption through the convenience of “just snapping a picture”. As a result, many devices carried in purses and pockets have mobile web capabilities, and cameras. The intersection, and the opportunity for convenient solutions, is compelling.Regarding mobile imaging, the primary case that many think of is Mobile Deposit – taking a picture of a check to deposit it. The ease of use is driving the technology into new areas including document management, bill payment, receipt processing, customer service, healthcare, and many other areas. In this session, we will explore the intersection of mobile imaging trends and the current state of mobile web technology. In particular, we will outline a technical architecture, best practices and implementation suggestions to streamline customer enrollment using mobile web. The opportunity to target and onboard new customers quickly and easily is a valuable use case, and a compelling example of the intersection of mobile web and mobile imaging.

Enterprise Apps, from Idea to Market
David Brutman
Senior Director, Developer Relations
SAP
Apps have captured the throne. They are the future of not only how we play, but how we work. To take advantage of this confluence, there are several strategic moves developers must make as they set out to create a beautiful app, which then, in a perfect world, transforms into a business. The enterprise is in dire need of savvy app developers. I’ll discuss how one can explore that territory. I’ll also discuss technical issues: how to implement an API layer to facilitate the flow of data into or out of your application or solution; how to manage and deliver the data, how to find and connect to the enterprises systems, databases and other services that you need; and last but not least, how to bring your beautiful app to market, from testing to monetizing.

Building Mobile Apps for a Distributed World
Shanley Kane
Director of Products and Marketing
Basho
Todays mobile apps must be always available, support massive concurrency, and serve clients all over the world at low latency. To meet the unique and dynamic requirements of todays apps, where latency equals broken and global is core, mobile infrastructure must be distributed, faulttolerant and scalable. New kinds of infrastructure and technology principles are emerging to help developers meet these challenges. In this talk, well look at distributed systems principles from innovators like Amazon and Akamai, how they are reflected in new open source infrastructure like Riak, and case stories of how they are run in production from leading companies including Bump and Voxer. Well look at how to build apps in a nonrelational world, best practices for selecting distributed technologies, emerging architectures, mobile performance indicators, and common pitfalls.
