TechTalk: SuperSolver & iBeacon Technology
Big thanks to Rungson Samroengraja of SuperSolver who delivered a great TechTalk last week!

UP NEXT: TechTalk – SuperSolver
The next in Boyle Software’s series of TechTalks will be a look at the technology behind SuperSolver, a recently developed and released free app that allows for unprecedented and anonymous communication between consumers and businesses. “SuperSolver is part of the new category of shopper apps [that] may be the retailers’ best tool yet,” wrote Forbes magazine in a piece from this past January, “Customers can use shopper apps to discover what’s in the store. SuperSolver acts like a butler; it is unobtrusive yet helpful.”
TechTalk: Riak – Basho’s NoSQL Datastore
Last Thursday, February 20th, Boyle Software employees and some client colleagues were treated to a great presentation on the development of Basho Technology’s NoSQL solution, Riak. Led by Basho’s resident evangelist, Tom Santero, the TechTalk audience was given an overview of Basho’s company history and the eventual creation of Riak – an open source, key/value datastore based initially on Amazon’s Dynamo whitepaper.
BS TechTalk: Creating the Pinfinder App
For our most recent TechTalk, Boyle Software’s own globally-ranked pinball wizard Sam Thompson led a fascinating discussion of the genesis and development of his iPhone app Pinfinder.
A pinball-enthusiast from youth, Thompson sought out machines wherever he travelled. Finding the available websites that tracked pinball machines lacking, he began to conceive of a mobile app (Thompson was an early iPhone adopter) that would satisfy his need to find and ride the silverball, no matter his location. With the introduction of Google’s MapKit in 2009, the technological stage was set for Thompson to build out the iPhone app of his dreams.
BS TechTalk: Adobe Experience Manager / CQ5

BS TechTalk: Endeca
The name “Endeca” comes from the German word “entdecken,” which means to discover. For us, Endeca is a software company headquartered in Cambridge MA that sells enterprise search and business intelligence applications. Oracle acquired the company in late 2011. Many of our clients use Endeca products, so we thought it worthwhile to hold a Boyle Software TechTalk.
