Key Technologies: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (with jQuery), UA Console
To make a better guest experience I was asked create some new html templates to be used in our app’s message center (powered by Urban Airship). Although this used technologies I already knew, there was a ton of specialized learning to understand how all the pieces fit together.
Some key callouts were: understanding how the html entities needed to be prepared/attributed in the template creation process so that the UA CMS sees them as editable fields, exploring how the UA webview creates a JS bridge and passes a UA object to be used by template at run-time, and how the template itself reaches out to UA for user specific data with the help of data passed in the CMS process.
