MAD Tampa recap, How We Built The Jethro Tull App

Special thanks go out to a great group! The Mobile Application Developer Tampa group was a packed house and the crowd was very engaged with a ton of questions. Please find the links with all of the answers!

The second session I did was on “Improving Your App Quality” and the recap for that session including PowerPoint and sample code will be posted soon on the http://raygun.io site. As promised, here are all of the resource links for the Tull session:
