Title: Ship it!
Summary: Learn how the Twitter for iPhone team ships code, the process that got us there and the mistakes we made along the way.

Title: Patterns for Mobile-Friendly API Design
Summary: Mobile applications have a number of constraints which impact how they integrate with back-end systems via web service APIs. Lower-bandwidth networks, higher round-trip latency and intermittent disconnected usage are just a few of the factors that contribute to a mobile app's unique role in a distributed system. We plan to share our experience building mobile applications at large scale for Twitter and discuss a set of pragmatic patterns which can be applied to network API design to increase efficiency, robustness and testability of apps that rely on them, with an ultimate goal of providing the best experience for end users.

While it appears the talks are already filled. You can get on the waiting list here.
