SeatGeek’s iMessage App takes the most social parts of the product and makes them available within the iOS Messages app. Users can search for events to discuss with their friends, and then send the tickets quickly and easily without the hassle of PDFs or printing. The app was written in Objective-C for a tight deadline, and you’ll hear about how we simplified existing features to optimize for both real-world usefulness and minimal development effort.
Steven started developing for iOS in 2009 and – after forays into Javascript in the browser, Python for chat bots, and Chef on AWS – returned to it in 2014. He studied offline spaces at Stanford's architecture program and online spaces at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program, and now helps people attend more live events at SeatGeek.
