smartphones today are completely depends on internet services. And developing software for mobile means integration with some number of online services. This task becomes a basic block in a development line. The presentation is a highlight of current state of tools and frameworks for iOS developers to connect their mobile software with backends fast. And less pain. And less custom coding.
