Mobile Cross Platform: No Single Answer
- March 14 · 7:00 PM
One of the most important decisions you can make before starting to develop a mobile app is whether to write two (or more) platform apps - at least Android in Java and iOS in Objective C - or to use one of several "cross platform" approaches, some based on HTML5 and some not. The Cross Platform providers claim to offer panaceas of various sorts, but none of them so far has proven to be the definitive "one size fits all and satisfies all users and developers". In this chat Ian will discuss several of the solutions that have popped up and what's good and what's sub-optimal about each. Don't expect to be told which one to use, but only how to start to decide on one that may be right for your project, in your organization, at this point in time. Because there is no single nor simple answer.

Sorry that I will be unable to attend in person. I am very interested to learn what platforms Ian talks about as I know of several of them. Perhaps people I know who are attending can brief me later. Hi Simon, I presented at AndroidTO over a year ago on the VGK Platform, will this be recorded?
We developed the VGK Platform to enable one UI and code base to run the same on Android and Apple iOS, and putting the software developer in control. More information is at www.AnimatedMedia.com

Lapasa, I haven't run a presentation style meetup at the new Bnotion location before. The room we used to run the workshop last time doesn't appear can hold more than 35. I'm currently consulting Bnotions to see how high I can bring the max number up.
