There's a little bit more to our news app than content delivery, even though content delivery is indeed the crux of the problem. Regarding the content itself, it's a more complex than a wall of text, so we need support for each type of content. Our content is also served differently for the website and for the mobile app as we've got an API in there, though both the website and the mobile api are communicating with what we call the content API. Both the Guardian and the BBC have separate iOS and Android teams, I'm part of the server side team. We touched about how to organise the teams, how to handle request from editorial, how to test and release the app etc. |
