TxtWeb is a platform that allows users to access internet content and services through SMS even without a data plan or internet connectivity on their mobile phone. It works by enabling developers to build apps that can be accessed via SMS keywords. When a user texts a keyword, it makes an HTTP request to the associated app and the response is sent back to the user via SMS. This allows over 300 million Indian mobile users without internet access to still access services. Developers can easily create both static "txtSites" and more dynamic "txtApps" on the platform to reach this large untapped audience.
These are the slides of the webinar held on 6th June. Contains a brief overview of the architecture of the platform and the types of apps you can build. The txtWeb vision and important details about the App2Fame challenge are also included in this presentation.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
ttconnect: Delivering Government e-Services With IBM Mobile Portal AcceleratorTracy Hackshaw
The Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, under its National Development Strategy, is pursuing its objective of creating a knowledge-based society, which will utilize reliable, secure and globally accessible information technology to provide citizens with improved government services. They have invested in WebSphere Portal and Lotus Web Content Management technology to form the foundation on which they will deliver services that improve the quality of citizens\’ interactions with their government through the “ttconnect” Portal. We\’ll review the implementation approach that enabled the government to leverage the country’s high concentration of mobile phones among its citizens and deliver an exceptional web experience. This session will illustrates how the government extended their Portal solution to provide citizens with mobile access to services and resources using IBM Mobile Portal Accelerator. We will discuss the business objectives, also challenges and solutions achieved as the IBM Services team leveraged the platform and assets to delivering rich content from Lotus Web Content Management to mobile devices, enabling a wide range of mobile web interaction capabilities for their audiences.
Boost JBoss AS7 with HTML5 WebRTC for Real Time Communicationstelestax
WebRTC, for Web Real Time Communications is a free, open project to enable rich, high quality, Real Time Communications applications to be developed in the browser via simple Javascript APIs and HTML5. Major browsers already support or will support it soon natively. This talk will present an overview of WebRTC, how it is already revolutionizing the Web and changing the Telco industry. A couple of emblematic use cases will be also explored to show the potential of WebRTC in different enterprise markets and a live demo of a 1 to 1 WebRTC Video Conference will also be performed followed by a detailed explanation on how it was achieved as well as what JBoss AS7 additions were required to make it work
Incorporating Web Services in Mobile Applications - Web 2.0 San Fran 2009Aduci
Most of the APIs available to developers today have been coded for robust web server integration with little thought of incorporation into light weight mobile applications. This talk will look at the pitfalls of using these APIs directly and methods of incorporating APIs, such as Amazon, eBay, Google and other API sets into mobile and lightweight applications, while maintaining a quality user experience.
First we will review the challenges of incorporating these APIs including;
* Retrieval of large data sets
* Multiple round trip communications
* Security issues of calls
* Display of information
For each of these challenges we will show specific examples with sample functionality, API flows, and XML blocks. Some examples will include web user authentication techniques, media retrieval lists, and interface usability issues.
Once we understand the challenges of incorporating various web APIs we will then look at techniques for handling APIs properly including caching methods, large data set handling, paging, filtering, just in time techniques, information on demand and speed testing. Throughout we will look at pseudo code, and detailed examples of real life examples.
With the proper techniques mobile applications can take advantage of a wide array of third party and home grown APIs without degradation of performance, memory, and overall usability.
