WWDC 2017 Build and Run Mike Sanderson, Lead iOS Engineer at Raden

Coming the Monday after WWDC 17, this talk will present the results of first attempts to use some new APIs. Based on early reports and firsthand attempts to use new techniques in real-world environments, we’ll look for any hidden pitfalls, surprising catches, or unmentioned benefits.

Evolving Mobile Applications with Continuous DeliveryCassie Shum, Lead Mobile Engineer at ThoughtWorks
Rebecca Eakins, Developer at ThoughtWorks

The mobile ecosystem is constantly changing. When building enterprise mobile applications, we need to make decisions about what platforms to support, should it support fully native features, time to market, etc. With continuous delivery, how can we effectively evolve our mobile applications after making these key decisions to keep up with the pace of the market?

In this talk we will cover how we can continuously adapt and improve in many different aspects of mobile development which will cover areas like usability, testing, and monitoring. The continuous feedback loop of rapidly delivering mobile apps and putting those in the hands of customers gives us the ability to learn, adapt, and make more advanced applications.
