  <description>This week Frank &amp;amp; James discuss the importance of a great local experience, server maintenance, and Apple’s amazing CloudKit. We take a look at what it takes to make an application that is cloud connected and what services are available to developers so we don’t have to actually maintain a server. What have we tried, what has worked, what hasn’t, and what we would start with today?
