Run Everywhere!* Cross-Platform Mobile Development! (*some restrictions apply)

Featured Presentation:

Developers have been enticed by the promise of cross-platform software development frameworks for over two decades. The mobile space is no exception. With the dozens of cross-platform options available to the mobile developer, it can be a daunting task to make sense of them all. This high-level session will guide you through your options and compare the pros and cons of the more popular platforms available. In the process, we will dig a bit deeper into two of the more popular options: Cordova (PhoneGap) and Titanium. We will discuss when it might make sense to employ a cross-platform solution and when it is time to write native applications. When we are done, you will have a good understanding of the cross-platform mobile landscape and some real-world examples to work from.
