Android ≠ Android: Lessons Creating a JS Framework
    Saturday March 10, 2012 9:30am - 10:30am @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Salon K) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)
    JavaScript is indispensable for even moderate mobile web apps as only scripts enable user interaction and integrate on device capabilities like location, camera, onboard storage or database. But while the SDKs for Google™ Android™ or Apple™ iOS™ look like a single definition with the ability to adjust to different devices – reality is not that simple. The increasing importance of JavaScript adds a whole new layer of complexity to the yet excessive fragmentation in the mobile space.
    In this presentation Netbiscuits shows its experiences with developing high end – and still multi device – mobile web apps providing rich user experience. We constantly enhance our cloud software service to enable rich user experience for mobile web apps cross-platform. Many of our lessons learned during the research for our rich mobile UX framework will be shared in this session.
    Based on (code) examples attendees will get to learn about the power and limits of a framework, the pitfalls in architecture and design and the challenges of testing and QA in mobile. Furthermore, you will receive clear guidelines for deciding server- or client-side, which to use when.

    Saturday March 10, 2012 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Salon K) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)
    There’s definitely something going on with all of this cloud talk, but what does it mean for you? If you’re involved with a gaming, entertainment or digital company, it could mean the difference of getting your product or idea to market faster without too much capital investment or being able to beat out the traditional players stuck in their old school ways. You’re cutting edge, right? So why not take advantage of cutting edge technology for your business? Josh Fraser will help peel away the layers of how you can use cloud computing, addressing the key differences of clouds and how to choose the best cloud computing infrastructure for your company. Josh will be joined by Reza Rassool, CTO of Music Mastermind, who will share with you how the company started and launched their music application on the cloud. Attend this session to get a view of why companies such as Music Mastermind, Zynga, EA, and Big Fish Games are all running on the cloud.

Not Just Tech Support: Online in India
    Saturday March 10, 2012 12:30pm - 1:30pm @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Salon K) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)
    Most people immediately think of “outsourcing” when you mention technology businesses in India. However, there is a reason that Facebook, Zynga, GroupOn, LinkedIn, and a wave of other Web 2.0 businesses have recently opened offices in India – and no, it isn’t solely for outsourced technical support.
    There are an estimated 100+ million Indians currently online, and with advancements in 3G mobile networks, that number is estimated to double over the next 2 years. The Indian market for internet services looks similar to the USA circa 1999, with several key differences – namely the preference for accessing the internet over lost cost mobile devices and payment methods that are not credit-card based.
    In our SXSW panel last year, we brought you several start-up CEOs, angel investors, and a New York Times columnist to share their experience with capturing the Indian opportunity. If you create online or mobile services, and have a goal of reaching a massive user base, then you can’t miss attending our 2012 panel!

Can Washington Make Your App Illegal?
    Monday March 12, 2012 5:00pm - 6:00pm @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Salon K) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)
    So you've worked for months writing code, assembling creative, and testing out your app until it it's finally ready for mass consumption. The App Store has approved it and you are getting solid reviews. But how are you storing your users' registration information? Have you taken adequate steps to ensure its authenticity? Do you know how old your users are or what information is being passed on to advertisers? A wrong answer to these questions could land you in hot water with the authorities. And Congress is considering regulations to strictly monitor the relationships you have with your customers. Our panel discusses avoiding privacy pitfalls. Experts will share their experiences negotiating with Congress and explain how to modify your app to avoid enforcement action by regulators.

Human Language Technology and Where It's Headed
    Tuesday March 13, 2012 9:30am - 10:30am @ Hilton Austin Downtown (Salon K) (500 E 4th St, Austin, TX 78701)
    Language is the holy grail of artificial intelligence. When we imagine sharing a world with smart machines, we don't think about logic, or problem solving, or winning at chess. We hear HAL-9000 declining to open the pod bay doors, and the Terminator saying he'll be baaack. Researchers have been working on building computers we can talk to for 60 years; in the 1990s, Bill Gates predicted that speech would soon be “a primary way of interacting with the machine”. So why aren't we talking to our computers yet ....Or are we? Thanks to new developments in human language technology (also known as "natural language processing") and text analytics, computers are analyzing everything from e-mail and tweets to clinical records and and speed-date conversations. How does the technology work, when does it work well (and when not), what's it doing for us, and where is it headed?
