Chapter 11:Howdy, Neighbor…playing nice with other APP’S

In this chapter, the metaphor of Good Fences is mentioned which draws a parallel between the concept of "good fences make good neighbors" by Robert Frost and Apple's approach to app design. It highlights the isolation of apps in the iPhone OS to enhance stability and security. Some good things about the fences are that Stability: The isolation of apps contributes to the overall system stability and Apps are walled off, preventing unauthorized access to private information. Bad points of the fence include Hindered Collaboration: Walls between apps limit collaboration and data exchange.

There are shared information spaces like Contacts, photos, and calendar events being shared among apps. Shared Spaces has a Trustworthy System where Users associate shared collections with built-in apps, creating a sense of trust. In -house features, include web browsing, map exploration, and emailing, consider building in-house features. In terms of linking Apps can pass control to each other using special URLs. When it comes to In-House features, for secondary tasks like web browsing, map exploration, and emailing, consider building in-house features. Keep everything simple and avoid excessive app switching; link to other apps as endpoints.
