May 5th Talk by Microsoft Researcher Tom Ball

When/Where:  May 5, 2014, 4pm, Whitman College, Olin 245.

Title: TouchDevelop: Scripting Mobile+Cloud Apps via Mobile+Cloud

Speaker: Thomas Ball, Principal Researcher and Research Manager Microsoft

Abstract: TouchDevelop is a programming environment hosted in the cloud and accessible via mobile devices that enables the creation of scripts for mobile devices that access the cloud. TouchDevelop has four main components:

A cloud back-end that enables a social approach to software development, connecting programmers and their users.

A browser-hosted mobile integrated development environment for creating and maintaining scripts that execute across a variety of devices.

A statically typed scripting language with novel abstractions to support stateless reactive graphical user interfaces and replicated data for social applications;

A set of high-level APIs to make it easy to access device sensors/resources and web services.

There will be several opportunities for audience participation in this talk; audience members are encouraged to bring their favorite mobile device, be it a smartphone, tablet or laptop and to visit www.touchdevelop.com/app before the talk. TouchDevelop is the work of a team at Microsoft Research including the speaker, Judith Bishop, Sebastian Burckhardt, Peli de Halleux, Michal Moskal, and Nikolai Tillman.
