iPad in the Enterprise

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a well written timely book on the topic of enterprise mobile strategy generally and the iPad specifically. The only knock against the book is that it feels like two books in one (the first half is written on strategy for CIO-types) and the second half is written for IT practioners (e.g. there are code samples!).
Well worth a read!

Excellent Primer on iPad and Enterprise Mobility in General
14 Oct 2011
By Joe Shepley
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Given all the urgency and uncertainty around the enterprise use of mobile devices, iPad for the Enterprise is a welcome addition to the literature available on the topic.
Nathan Clevenger has been involved in the development of mobile strategies and applications for over a decade, and the book reflects it. He begins with a consideration of iPad strategy that's a wonderful primer for anyone involved in mobility at their organization, from developers in the trenches to executive leadership.
It sets the stage through a consideration of how we reached the current state of mobility and introduces the concept of the consumerization of IT, i.e., IT changes being driven in a decentralized way by the "consumers" in the enterprise (the employees) rather than in a centralized way by IT.
From there, it moves to more practical considerations and presents an overview of how to build an enterprise mobile strategy and application roadmap. Both are somewhat general--it's difficult to generalize meaningfully about either of these activities--but nonetheless useful, especially for folks who've never participated in creating enterprise strategy before.
With the groundwork in place, Clevenger moves through all the phases of iPad app development: architecture, design, development, and deployment. And while none of this is not intended as a detailed ho- to guide or instructional manual for app development, he manages to get in enough technical detail and code samples to make this a valuable first-stop for technical folks looking to better understand what's happening under the hood of the iPad.
All in all, the book is a strong offering. Non-technical readers will benefit greatly not only from the first section on strategy, but also from the more technical sections, which they can read selectively to gain a better preliminary understanding of concepts like sandbox security or iOS Human Interface Guidelines. Technical readers will not be disappointed in Clevenger's treatment of app development and will also benefit from a better understanding of the context and strategy of iPad app development.

Book Review | iPad in the Enterprise
1 Sep 2011
By Shahab Choudhry
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Given the inroads that the iPad is making in the Enterprise, the book is very timely and the content serves as a good commentary on many aspects related to the adoption of the iPad for Enterprise use.
-The book is organized into five parts: Strategy, Architecture, Design, Development and Deployment. This organization works very well to cover the content of this book.
-iPad in the Enterprise is written with a broad set of enterprise readers in mind - IT and non IT executives, architects as well as developers. Different parts are focused on different types of readers and as such each part is fully contained and can be read on its own.
-The enterprise focus is maintained well throughout the book, except for a couple of areas where the treatment of the content does not quite do justice to the enterprise focus.
