  2. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson The Solution: One Language to Rule them All Possible Difficulties with Implementation Conclusion Works Cited Outline • Title • Outline • Introduction • The Problem: Lots of Phones, Lots of Languages • How Large is this Market? • Just How Much Market Exposure am I Losing?

  3. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson Introduction • Imagine you are developing an app for the iPhone • But what about deploying the app on other smart phones? • How would you deploy to other smart phones? • Rewrite code • Porting service0 0: Rapid Soft Systems

  4. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson The Problem: Lots of Phones, Lots of Languages • Many different types of smart phones • Each smart phone might require programming in a different language and using different APIs • Developing for one phone limits market exposure • But developing for multiple phones entails additional development time and cost

  5. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson How Large is the App Market? • 60 million smart phones in the U.S. by the end of October 20101 • Around 100,000 applications for the iPhone alone2 • Three BILLION apps downloaded from Apple's app store since its inception2 • Android Market also has about 100,000 apps and one billion apps downloaded3 1: comScore Reports October 2010 2: Three Billion Apps 3: Android - 100,000 Apps

  8. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson The Solution: One Language to Rule Them All (OLtRA) • Program in one language, deploy on multiple platforms • Compiler capable of generating object code for multiple smart phones • Increase market exposure of an app without the associated cost of porting

  9. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson Possible Difficulties with Implementation • Complexity of implementing an object orientated language • Creating a graphics API including a function library for a GUI • Creating the object code for many different smart phones • Marketing the language and associated IDE

  10. CS 410 | Presentation 1 | Michael Olson Conclusion • Lots of smart phones • Estimated that the app market will be $17.5 billion by 20125 • Currently, developing for multiple smart phones is expensive and time consuming • OLtRA would allow for easy development and deployment to multiple smart phones • OLtRA decreases the expense of developing apps for multiple smart phones 5: 17.5 Billion Apps
