Icenium 1.8 Keynote Recording, Sample App & Prize Winners

Yesterday we had blast giving a keynote for the Icenium 1.8 release. With features like the new Icenium Extension for Visual Studio, using Cordova custom plugins, and numerous updates & enhancements to Mist and Graphite - this was an exciting release and we can't brag enough on the amazing work our engineering team has pulled off!

Demos and Links

During the keynote, Burke Holland and I put together a sample app called "Chuck Facts" - since the world can never know too much about Chuck Norris. You can find the repositories for the sample app here:

• "Chuck Facts" - the mobile app itself
• "Chuck Facts API" - sample .NET/Web API project serving as the back end of the mobile app.
• "iOS Social Plugin" - the custom plugin Burke integrated into the app.

Not only was this sample app a lot of fun to put together, but it gives you a peek into what it's like to work with mobile apps, Azure services, Kendo UI Mobile and custom plugins - all from inside Visual Studio!

Todd Anglin showed off Eqatec Application Analytics during the keynote as well, so be sure to go to http://www.telerik.com/analytics/ to check out the compelling features of cross-platform analytics and watch the keynote (at the bottom of this post) to see how Todd integrates Eqatec into a sample hybrid mobile app to get real time analytics. He even goes into how you can track feature-specific usage in an app - giving you amazing visibility into how your app is being used in the real world. How cool is that?!
