Connected apps: delivering great user experiences using content rich APIs

Content APIs enable mobile apps to easily access rich multimedia content that was previously locked inside corporate walls. Organisations like Pearson and other publishers now provide APIs to previously inaccessible sources. We’ll talk about how content rich APIs can power great user experiences, examine two very different examples of mobile apps, and describe experiences using the Pearson APIs found at http://developer.pearson.com. Also we’ll go through the code used to access the APIs, so you can see how to use the APIs and perhaps earn a prize in this weekend’s hacking competition.
