Working on a new mobile app project is both exciting and fun. Creating things from scratch is the ultimate developer dream!
But as a project ages, and more new and exciting features are added, they don’t really have that luster of the earlier features. Why not?
Mobile projects often forego good software design for speed-to-market, and are left with an extremely difficult codebase to extend and maintain.
This talk will discuss some design patterns I’ve harvested from creating multiple large mobile apps, and which allow me to be so lazy I can’t freaking believe it. Extensibility and maintainability are totally within my control, it’s so awesome! Be lazy like me!
The current speed of Mobile app development is fast and furious. Development shops are happy to crank out apps at this pace, but in the Enterprise world, the unfortunate carnage is an embarrassing product and a mess of crappy unmaintainable code. This talk will guide you towards quality and usability, and ultimately show you the steps to produce your most excellent kickass apps! Awesomeness will prevail!
