Abstract:
Mr. Gordon will be speaking about Motricity's Fuel platform, and how it is propelling Motricity to be the fastest growing technology company in the Triangle. To provide a context for understanding the Fuel platform, Mr. Gordon will discuss Fuel's current market, and how Fuel's software architecture is designed to meet those needs. The main focus of the discussion will cover Fuel's historic use of Java, and Java's role in the product as it evolves.
