    Mocking Services & Data in Mobile Apps

    On larger projects, where different team members work on features that are dependent on other team members' contributions, the ability to work as if the feature already exists, when in fact those developers haven't completed it, can keep overall progress chugging along. When it comes to web and mobile apps, one of the classic "divides" occurs between client and server. You might have developers focusing solely on the front end or mobile app, with others focusing on server-side concerns, like web services. Have you ever been on a team where the client-focused developers had to wait for server-side devs to complete work on HTTP services before they could continue on? This does not have to be the case. Mocking HTTP services itself isn't difficult – and depending on your client side architectural choices, you can also mock your data using your models/view models.

    s we all know, mobile devices are exploding in popularity. Suddenly users want to do absolutely everything on their devices and not be tethered to traditional desktop computers. Which is great, except if you're like most businesses, and have tons of legacy services that aren't ready for use in mobile apps. In this article we'll start with a legacy service, expose it over HTTP, and integrate it into our hybrid application built with Icenium.
