5 Ways to Get Top Mobile App Developer Talent for Your Open APIs

In 2007, Apple launched the iPhone, effectively the first smartphone. With its touch-screen interface and ability to run lightweight apps, the iPhone revolutionized the mobile phone market. The arrival of the iPad tablet in 2010 increased the potential of mobile apps significantly, simply by offering a larger touch-screen.

In the wake of the iPhone and iPad has come a deluge of mobile devices, with Google’s Android operating system emerging as a serious competitor to Apple’s iOS technology. In addition to smartphones and tablets, the app paradigm is increasingly being used to enhance and connect all types of devices – from TVs to gaming systems to vehicles to utilities meters and beyond.

A Winning API Strategy: Developing Secure Mobile Apps with a UX that Delights Customers

Today, the UX of an app has come to embody the characteristics of a product or service that are important to the individual. It’s the recognized feeling one receives when interacting with the app, how pervasive the app becomes throughout one’s life and the lasting memory the individual has after connecting with the business.

But a good UX, while ideally delivering enduring business results, must overcome obstacles to be successful. For instance, not every app type has the same user experience. Web apps, while easier to maintain and extend to the mobile device, don’t always render well across different devices ultimately driving organizations to develop new native mobile apps in order to deliver the optimal user experience expected. But native apps possess their own challenges with security being a primary concern.

Protecting Your APIs Against Attack and Hijack

The application programming interface (API) is an emerging technology for integrating applications using Web technology. This approach is exploding in popularity because it builds on well-understood techniques and leverages some existing infrastructure. But it is a mistake to think you can secure APIs using the same methods and technology with which we secured the browser-centric Web. APIs are fundamentally different from websites and have an entirely unique risk profile that must be addressed.

However, that slowness is often not the root cause, but rather a symptom of an underlying infrastructural issue hidden from view. Examine common, yet elusive application performance problems that reveal themselves only when you look at them from the right vantage point.
