Presentations:
Building HTML5 Apps for iPad and Android Tablets by Mike Bollinger and Sam Kirchmeier
Tablets are an inspiring medium on which to build applications given their incredible computing power, screen size, and portability. Most applications built for tablets are native apps (using platform-specific code) which means development can be costly and redundant. In this presentation we'll demonstrate the capabilities of HTML5 and show when and how it can replace a native tablet app. We'll provide high-level strategy and context and dive into the details by walking through how to build a cross-platform HTML5 app for iOS and Android.
