Jeff Schiller: 5 Years in the Cloud – My experiences with MIT App Inventor App Inventor was originally developed at Google when Professor Hal Abelson was on sabbatical working at Google Labs. When Hal returned to MIT, he took App Inventor with him, along with the code and the user base. I started working with Hal around that time and have since both developed and operated MIT App Inventor using Cloud Resources. Today App Inventor has 4+ Million users with a peak (so far) of about 55,000 unique users in one day. This talk will discuss what has worked well, and what has been challenging with running a largish project using the Cloud. | Jeff Schiller | Kirsch Auditorium (32-123) |
