Jello Labs: Architecture for rapid UI iteration & TheLadders One Year=Three Apps

Octavian Costache, CTO at Jello Labs, will discuss:

iOS app architecture options for rapid UI iterations

• There's a range of options out there, from building your UI entirely on the client side and using a RESTful API for the data model, to building a dumb client powered mostly from the server.

• Pros and cons of each of these broad approaches.

• We found our sweet spot in the middle, where most of our UI is powered from the server side, with embedded data models where necessary.
