Abstract: PhoneGap is an open source framework for building cross-platform mobile applications with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This is an ideal solution for web developers interested in mobile development as it allows them to leverage existing skills rather than start form scratch with a device-specific compiled language; it also works well if you want an application to run on multiple devices with the same code base. In this talk, I'll discuss the pros and cons of PhoneGap, give a brief survey of other cross-platform mobile application frameworks, an overview to the PhoneGap architecture/ecosystem, and discuss our new open-source framework, Mulberry

Abstract: PhoneGaps is an amazing tool that gives web developers and designers the ability to create native mobile applications using the languages, tools and techniques they are familiar with. Creating mobile apps using Javascript, HTML and CSS via PhoneGap makes it very easy to port those applications to multiple platform. While there is a benefit in porting mobile apps to multiple platforms, maintaining the look a feel of the underlying operating system is paramount. In this talk, I will introduce the Metro Design Language of Windows Phone 7. Metro is the name of the new design language created for the Windows Phone 7 interface. By using Metro developers and designer can create elegant mobile application that feel native to Windows Phone.
