Consuming RESTful Web Services on the iPhone
Location: Shiley Hall, Room 301
A number of popular libraries simplify the task of communicating with a RESTful web service in Objective-C on the iPhone. In this session we will create a simple web service using Ruby on Rails and build a companion iPhone app that communicates with the service over HTTP using the ObjectiveResource library. Basic knowledge of Objective-C and REST will be very helpful.
CPU Caches and Why You Care
Location: Franz Hall, Room 231
No matter what programming language or technology you use, if your software fails to make effective use of the underlying CPU caches, your system's performance will suffer. A lot. This session provides a wide-ranging overview of your CPU caches, how they operate, and how that affects high-level decisions on things like data structures and traversal strategies. Both single- and multi-threaded execution are considered. Specific topics include different cache types (data, instruction, TLB); private and shared caches; cache lines and speculative prefetching; false sharing; and cache-friendly program organization, data structures, and traversal strategies. If you care at all about performance, the information in this talk is essential. The fact that it's really interesting is simply a bonus :-)

Location: Franz Hall, Room 015
In this presentation you'll get a chance to see an actual Windows Mobile 7 Series device working (like in http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/27/exclusive-lgs-windows-phone-7-series-early-prototype-unveiled/). I'll also show the development tools (Silverlight and XNA) and how to use them to develop a WP7 application.

Standards-Based Mobile Web Development
Location: Shiley Hall, Room 301
Learn a standards-based approach to Mobile Web development that uses open standards and open-source software to create usable, adaptive and discoverable Mobile Web applications for smartphones and mass-market devices. Best practices for the Desktop Web simply do not apply to Mobile Web development. Mobile is a totally new medium. A standards-based approach to Mobile Web development produces a usable, adaptive and discoverable Mobile Web experience for featurephones and smartphones. This session discusses the importance of standards-based Mobile Web development including an overview of fundamentals, design principles, content adaptation, usability, interoperability and industry players. We explore how developers and digital publishers implement mobility standards and best practices to bring their content to the massive audience of users of Web-enabled mobile devices.
Windows Phone 7 - Hackathon
Location: Franz Hall, Room 223
So you've heard about Windows Phone 7, maybe even downloaded the tools, but you definitely want to get started building something. Maybe you want to find people who can help you turn your ideas into profit? Perhaps you've got the skills, but you need to help with the ideas? If this describes you (or where you want to be), then you'll definitely want to show up for this WP7 hackathon. This will be a during the 2.5 hour evening session. Be sure to bring your laptop and your ideas. There will be DVDs you can use to install the tools. FYI, if you're new to Silverlight then it's recommended that you first watch Laurent Bugnion's MVVM talk from MIX10 (http://live.visitmix.com/MIX10/Sessions/EX14).
