CS Colloq: Dr. Marco Papa

Title: The Radio for iPhone App ecosystem: A Case Study Speaker: Dr. Marco Papa (Intersect World LLC) Host: Prof. Ellis Horowitz Abstract:
With over 100,000 apps, 50,000 independent developers and two billion downloads, iPhone App development is one of the few job descriptions that have withstood the economy downturn. Many of the iPhone Apps make use of a number of Web Technologies: HTTP, HTML, XML, XSLT, JSON, CGI Perl, PHP, and Java. Using the Radio App for the iPhone as an example, this talk will provide a behind the scenes look at the role that these Web Technologies have had in helping develop, deliver, market, maintain and monitor one such application.
