This document summarizes the challenges of software commercialization in the fragmented mobile ecosystem. It discusses how the ecosystem is fragmented across thousands of handset models, over 20 operating systems, hundreds of mobile operators, and inconsistencies in mobile web browsers. This makes it difficult for developers to write software that works across all contexts. It also discusses opportunities for monetizing mobile apps and how the app economy is growing rapidly led by Apple's App Store. However, fragmentation remains a big challenge for developers to overcome.
Commercialization Challenges of Mobile Software Development in an Exponential...Stephen King
This is part 3 of the "Fragmented Mobile Ecosystem" decks I've done over the last 7 years. This 2017 version focuses on the journey of an entrepreneur, the state of mobile development today, where are we at (and going) and the journey of pivoting a young startup as iPhone and Android stunned the mobile world in Fall 2008. Presented at Mobile Monday Calgary #30, it also includes some advice for entrants in the technology field... and lastly it covers some resources that are available; developers networks, public funding and grants, Mobile Monday global.
In the first deck of 2009, I look at the early mobile platform wars: http://www.slideshare.net/stebankag/wi-tec-stephen-king-commercialization-challenges-of-mobile-software-development-in-a-fragmented-mobile-ecosystem-mob4hire
In the second 2nd deck in 2012, I update for how the fragmented mobile ecosystem is affecting mobile enterprise development, and how enterprises are shifting billions of dollars to adopt mobile processes into the internal, customer and partner relationships.

Why "mobile first" isn't enough - Developing a better user experienceKevin Powell
"Mobile first," is a concept that serves us well as a design tool, putting constraints on our messaging, layout, etc. But to use "mobile first" as a complete mobile strategy can lead to some dangerous lines of thought.
There's a bigger picture that needs to be seen, and it's what we've always done when developing experiences for the web. We need to put the "Experience First." Then we can think about "mobile", "desktop", "lean-back", and whatever other technologies are released in the next several years. It's not about devices, it's about users and experiences.
Presentation first given at BarCamp Nashville in October of 2011.
Presentation used at several conferences and at at least 20 client workshops this year. Content includes:
* Why mobile first?
* Web vs Mobile transition
* How mobile first
* HTML5 maturity

Getting Your Share of the Mobile App MarketSyriousGames
So you want to join the mobile app craze? We’ve all heard the iPhone app rags-to-riches stories. With over 200,000 Android devices being activated every day, targeting your app to the Android Market may be a wise choice. But with almost 100,000 apps in the Android Market and 250,000 in the Apple App Store, how are you going to get your app noticed? Doing nothing and hoping people will find you is not enough. Building a web site is not enough. You need strategies and techniques - and you need to build your app to align with your strategy.
The “freemium” model is becoming quite popular, but how do you apply it to your app? What can you do to get noticed? Can you build multiple app “properties” and use them to your marketing advantage? How can you use social media to your advantage? How can you tell if your efforts are paying off?
These slides are from a talk I gave on Marketing and Monetizing your mobile app and Measuring the results.
A discussion about the benefits of a mobile-first responsive approach to web development, why it is as important for desktop environments as it is for mobile devices and why it is the future of web development.
Along the way we'll dispell some of the myths you have heard about responsive web development, leaving you no excuses to not start your next project thinking mobile-first.

En la etapa anterior, los lunes estuvimos disfrutando de las parábolas y milagros de Jesús; y en esta etapa vamos a adentrarnos en los Salmos, adaptados para niños. De la misma manera, hemos dejado los lunes para esta oración especial con los Salmos.
Los Salmos, escritos hace miles de años, expresan lo esencial del alma humana: sus temores, sus penas, pero también la alegría de sentirse vivo y la gratitud hacia el Creador. Cada uno aparece acompañado de un breve comentario explicativo, adaptado al lenguaje infantil, y de una bonita ilustración, lo que permitirá a los niños familiarizarse con estas breves oraciones de forma amena y divertida.
Aquí os presentamos un documento que os ayudará a entender mejor la dinámica para este curso de los Buenos días:

The near future of real web applicationsX.commerce
There is a lot of noise being made about HTML5 as the new web technology to use and markets for apps as the best way to sell products and distribute applications to our end users. In reality there is not much new about it - all we are doing is treating the web as a distribution and sharing platform and browsers as the software to run our applications on. In this talk Christian Heilmann of Mozilla shows how in the near future application installation and in-app payments can happen on the most distributed market there is - the internet and through your browser. You will see how the technologies we build web sites in got an upgrade to allow us to build light-weight and focused applications that allow our end users to reach their goals faster and in a more re-usable fashion than with traditional ecommerce. Browsers and hardware are becoming more powerful each day, it is time to use that power in a sensible manner.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1

However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

4. 3.3B mobile
handset users
• 6 out of every 10 people in the
world have a mobile handset
• 4B subscriptions; 18% of people
(700M) have two subscriptions.
http://www.tomiahonen.com/
5.
6. Where is everybody?
http://www.tomiahonen.com/
• North American adoption and usage is distinctly different than other continents
• European handsets and subscriptions are often separate purchases; SIMs interchangeable, much
more operator competition
7. Where are new subscriptions coming from?
• Many markets saturated (top 5: Italy:153%, Greece, Hong Kong, Portugal, Israel): new subs slowing
• U.S. at 84%, Canada at 61% (the only country < 80% that’s NOT a developing nation)
• Still lots of growth for new users in developing nations http://www.tomiahonen.com/
8. From “no phone” to “cell phone.”
Of the 280M people with phones in
Africa, 260M of them use mobile
handsets.
9. A Trillion Dollar Industry http://www.tomiahonen.com/
• $800M is services; Voice is still the “killer app”
• SMS message revenue is 25 times bigger than ALL PC messaging (IM, email, etc...)
• At $71B, Content partners (applications, movies, ringtones) is bigger than all paid content on internet
10. Mobile is the “7th Mass Media”: Scope + Content
• The only media generation that can replicate all the benefits of the other six
• The first personal media channel, permanently carried and always on: “Intimate”
• Built-in payment channel
• Point of creativity “eyewitness,” enabling user-generated content
• Special thanks to Tomi Ahonen:
Near-perfect audience data
http://www.tomiahonen.com/
• Social and location context of media consumption
12. Yikes!
The Frankenstein Effect of Fragmentation
• This happened to me the week Blackberry App World launched. http://www.blackberry.com/appworld
• My Carrier is Rogers Wireless in Canada.
• My handset is a Blackberry Bold. The above picture is what it usually looks like.
• I downloaded a few apps including Google Talk
• The free Google Talk downloaded ok. But when it rebooted my system, my Bold started spewing error
messages like “java exception.” Lots of them! See next slide.
13. This is not a good user experience ... where’s the [Not OK] button?
After I downloaded/installed Google Talk, my Bold had errors & reset to default Rogers O/S footprint.
Background is gone as are all my photos. Icons are moved (some programs are missing). The
keyboard #’s wouldn’t work, only the QWERTY letters. The “airplane” mode icon is missing. SMS’s
and Emails in both inbox and sent items are gone. Email config is gone. Kept my contacts, WiFi and
weather settings intact, though. WARNING!!! PAINFUL!!! Who should I blame?

the-new-reality/
They just want it to work.
16. Fragmentation is the inability to
“write once and run anywhere.”
More formally, it is the inability to develop an application
against a reference operating context (OC) and achieve the
intended behavior in all OCs suitable for the application.
http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~damithch/df/device-fragmentation.htm
17. All Operating Contexts? That’s a lot.
• Games publisher, GLU.com, made 25,000 different builds for their Transformers mobile game. There were
21,000 different builds for Europe alone.
• On average, mobile developers are creating 400 different builds
• Google Maps targeted 10 mobile platforms, created 100 different builds, and the boss wanted it yesterday.
http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Mobile/Glu/news.asp?c=5086
http://developers.sun.com/mobility/reference/techart/design_guidelines/overview.html
18. Fragmentation is a result of the
permutations and combinations of:
Mobile Ecosystem
• Handset diversity
• Software diversity:
• O/S diversity (platforms, middleware, widgets)
• Standards implementation diversity
(“According to the standard, this should work ...”)
• Mobile 2.0 browser diversity
(internet websites optimized for mobile phones)
• Operator / Environmental diversity
Developer or Regional
• Feature variations, such as light version vs full version (related to
business model)
• User-preference diversity, in aspects such as in language, style, etc., or
accessibility requirements
http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~damithch/df/device-fragmentation.htm
19. http://www.tomiahonen.com/
Handset manufacturer market share
• 1B handsets sold in 2008
• Nokia sells 1M handsets a day (well ... not in Q1, 2009)
• Most desired feature driving new phone sales is the built-in camera and it’s resolution
• 30 companies in the next tier (RIM, Apple, ZTE, Kyocera, Sharp, Palm, etc...) each have a share of <2%
21. Each handset
can have up to
1,500 different
specifications
• screen size & video resolution
• processor performance, memory
size, accessibility
• firmware versions
• SMS/MMS handling
• network (2G, 2.5G, 3G)
• keyboard layouts / functions
• additional interface components
(e.g. trackballs, wheels,
joysticks, directional keys,
stylus, touchscreens)
• slots
• accelerometers
• battery performance
• bluetooth enabled
• camera
• GPS enabled
• WiFi enabled
• language support
• ... and ...
http://www.wurfl.com/
22. Over 25 O/S’s platforms, middleware, and frameworks
• Differences in platform/OS (Symbian, Nokia OS, RIM OS, Apple OS X, Palm WebOS, Windows Mobile,
Mobile Linux, Google Android, BREW,etc.), API standards (MIDP 1.0, MIDP 2.0, etc.), optional APIs,
proprietary APIs, variations in access to hardware (e.g., fullscreen support, access to local storage), and
differences in multimedia support (e.g., codecs), maximum binary size allowed, etc.
• Middleware like Flash, Yahoo Blueprint
• Backwards compatibility big issue
29. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators
Over 750+ Operators Worldwide
• Operator’s environmental diversity from deployment infrastructure
(handset&OS branding by carrier, compatibility requirements of
carrier backend APIs, gateway characteristics, opened ports,
restrictions on access to outside the network etc.), local standards.
• GSMA OneAPI initiative is trying to standardize common API calls
30. What about Mobile 2.0?
It’s not Web 2.0, but it is browser based,
just like your PC internet surfing. Sort of.
And, it’s not going to fix fragmentation.
Just change it a bit.
31. If *Last Name is mandatory,
shouldn’t I see a field so I can
enter the data?
Mobile 2.0 experience differs wrt browser, platform and handset
• Just like PC web, browsers have their “idiosyncrasies”; in mobile it’s worse
• Mobile 2.0 sites need to be “thin” ... light on graphics, no heavy bandwidth usage, minimal fields
• “30 second tasks vs. 30 minute tasks”: Corporations need both mobile sites and PC websites
• Many (most) corporations are unprepared
32. http://www.tomiahonen.com/
More people access the internet
through mobile handsets
(1.02B) than PC’s (940M).
Within 2 years, 71% of U.S.
mobile users will access the
mobile internet vs. 28% in 2008*

35. Fragmented Mobile Ecosystem
(The Shape of Things to Come)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg4c8f0XmoM
“Greed still exists in the world, and every company is going to try and shape things
in the way that most interests them. This will lead to more fragmentation, not less.”
Steve Morley, Former VP, Qualcomm, Pacific Northwest Summit, Jan 2009
37. Handset manufacturers
are feeling pinched
• Slowing handset sales due
to recession and market
saturation; feature phones
down to 6% growth YOY
2008; more decline in 2009
• Motorola being hit
particularly hard
• Carriers have maintained
good margins (AT&T = 34%),
handset vendors need to get
a bigger piece of pie =
TENSION
“Frenemies”
http://www.tomiahonen.com/
38. However, in Q4 2008, there was a ray of sunshine
While feature phones declined by 6% YOY, smartphones, data and applications grew 37% YOY
39. With apps, Apple has shown the way. But it’s still V0.9
• Released July, 2008
• In less than one year, 1 Billion downloads.
• 10,000 apps downloaded every 2.2 minutes. 50M apps downloaded in one week. Per week. Every week.
• Total of 25,000 apps ... our prediction: 100,000 apps by end of 2009
• Plenty of room in the pool for other handset manufacturers, carriers and web off-deck app stores.
40. How much can a developer make?
• Perhaps very little. First 30 days on Apple App Store is crucial.
• Or, a lot. After 10 days, #1 iFart was making $35K per day
• But, only 10% of apps are still in use after 3 months; not sticky
• Avg. cost per app is $2.64 (based on top 100 apps); price elastic!
• Other business models: freemium, advertising (ugh), % transaction
• Problem is discoverability ... getting lost in the 25,000 apps
41. 2009 is
“The Year of Mobile”
• Mobile Handsets vs. PC’s
• Hurry ... release analog TV spectrum! The
Gold Rush for 4G (LTE or WiMax)
• Device convergence: Acer moves into
smartphones, Nokia moves into netbooks
• Eric Schmidt, CEO Google: “Mobile search
will eclipse PC search in a few years.”
• Chris DeWolfe, CEO MySpace: “Mobile will
drive 50% of visits by 2012”
• Henri Moistinac, Director, Mobile,
Facebook: “We’re starting to think that
Mobile isn’t just an extension of Facebook;
it’s becoming the main platform.”
• Application Stores Explode
“We need developers”
Growing from 250K firms to 1M by 2013
• Nokia’s Ovi Store
• BlackBerry App World
• Windows Marketplace
• App Store for Symbian, PocketGear
• Android Market
• Palm Software Store
• O2 Litmus (Mob4Hire)
• 3rd party off-deck (GetJar, Handmark)
42. The global demand for mobile
apps is just starting; and it’s
not just about iFart.
