To register, visit http://www.computer.org/Mobile-Cloud. Those who register now will save $100 with earlybird pricing and will receive a free annual digital subscription to IEEE Cloud Computing, IEEE's newest cloud computing magazine. When there are billions of connected devices on an Internet of Things, there can't be a separate app for every kind of thing—and the application programming interfaces (APIs) of things must be robust languages for real transactions, not just naive dialects suited for little more than demonstrations. This talk by Coffee will explore the implications for designing APIs that elevate performance of both people and machines. Coffee has a long history of working with IT professionals and independent developers to build global communities using cloud application platforms, including salesforce.com's Force.com and Heroku. Coffee also served as the company's first CTO for Automobile Industry Initiatives and supported customers' Internet of Things and big data programs. He has more than three decades experience guiding adoption of new technologies and practices as a developer, consultant, educator, author, and lecturer, with particular emphasis on software development and information security disciplines.
