Twitter Mobile and Engineering team is holding an Open House event at WWDC this year and has invited the developers attending WWDC to register for the event. The event would mainly focused on tech talks given by the Twitter Lead for its iOS apps.
This is something new that Twitter is doing at this year’s WWDC, which is scheduled to happen this 11th. Twitter is inviting the developers who would be there at WWDC to come over for a special food and beer tech talks with the developers of Twitter mobile apps. By this time, we think the tickets are filled for these talks.
There will be two talks made by Ben Sandofsky and Chris Mitra from Twitter, probably about how they ship the code and also about their future of mobile apps. May be we would receive an update to Twitter for Mac and iOS on that day. And here’s what Twitter has to say about the event:
Mobile applications have a number of constraints which impact how they integrate with back-end systems via web service APIs. Lower-bandwidth networks, higher round-trip latency and intermittent disconnected usage are just a few of the factors that contribute to a mobile app’s unique role in a distributed system. We plan to share our experience building mobile applications at large scale for Twitter and discuss a set of pragmatic patterns which can be applied to network API design to increase efficiency, robustness and testability of apps that rely on them, with an ultimate goal of providing the best experience for end users.
Also, Twitter has made it clear that this is not a PR related event. If you are going to be there at the event, you should get your tickets right here from Twitter.
Update: Looks like Twitter has rescheduled their event. Probably because Apple wouldn’t have allowed it. The event will be rescheduled to later this month!
