Last Wednesday at the 2012 IP&TV World Forum in London awards were given for innovation, excellence and achievement in the IPTV industry. AT&T won “Best TV App” for the U-verse Tablet App and “Best Consumer Device” for the Wireless Receiver. (press release) These were not the first awards to be earned by U-verse TV. In 2011, U-verse TV won an IP&TV Industry Award for Best Multiscreen TV Service.

As the fastest growing TV service in the country* and the only 100 percent Internet Protocol-based television (IPTV) service offered by a national service provider, U-verse Enabled APIs offer a lot of opportunities for developers to create applications that interface with the service.

The U-verse Enabled architecture allows an authorized personal device, such as an iPhone, to associate itself ("pair") with a U-verse set-top box. Once this pairing has occurred, the personal device can become a local application server, capable of sending commands and content directly to the set-top box to provide a wide range of new applications.

Interested in creating apps with AT&T’s new API platform? Back in January we hosted a webcast called A New Toolbox for Building Apps With APIs: Introducing the AT&T API Platform. This webcast featuring Dale Western, an architect on the AT&T Developer Planning and Support team, provides an overview of the API platform and a live demo.

Members of the AT&T Developer Program can access the archived webcast anytime, or download the video and slides. Not a member? Sign up today for free!

At the AT&T Developer Summit that wrapped up earlier this week, there were dozens of informative breakout sessions updating developers on the latest resources offered by AT&T and others.

Ed Lambert, Director, Developer Planning and Support AT&T Developer Program presented “More Than Just a Hammer, an AT&T Tools Overview.”  Ed reviewed several tools that are available for developers, including the newly-announced AT&T API Platform and ARO (Application Resource Optimizer).  His slides (along with others) can be accessed on the AT&T Developer Program site.

Android Application of the week #2

As the Android platform gains momentum, more and more developers are building Android applications. I will feature one new Android application a week.. This will be an app that I am using regularly, or an application that uses mobile technology in an innovative way. Caveats: must run on an AT&T Android device. Suggestions? Let us know at device.issues@att.com

So far, we've described why implementing SSL by itself isn't a guarantee of security. We've also discussed common SSL mistakes. In the finale, we're going to talk about what it means to really build a "secure" application. Today we'll disprove the maxim: To a dev with SSL, every app looks secure. Read more...

In this installment of the SSL Secure Enough? series, we talk about the state of the art of attacks against SSL. Read more...

Let’s start with two observations. 1) Developers love to party. 2) Security nerds love to party. What happens when these two communities mingle? The Ultimate Question gets answered! “If I use SSL, is my mobile application secure enough?” Read more...
