Boston PHP

Web to Mobile and Back with Raizlabs

November 19, 2012 · 6:30 PM
Microsoft NERD New England Research & Development Center

If you're a web developer hoping to expand your skills to develop native mobile applications, this presentation is for you. We'll talk through our experience in going from doing PHP development to iOS and then back to web again. Join Boston PHP and Greg Raiz and Craig Spitzkoff from Raizlabs (Raizlabs.com) as we discuss how to expand your software skills in order to create native applications for iOS and Android devices. We will discuss the skills and thought processes required to extend your development to new devices and how web-developers can take advantage of the push to mobile. Topics will include:
- Getting started, tools and techniques - Hating and loving Apple (the good bad and ugly) - Shipping software and how it's done - Pros and Cons of cross platform frameworks - Working with web-services - Hybrid apps and web-components Raizlabs has developed close to a hundred applications for both national and local companies. The team is based in Boston and focused on creating great mobile experiences.

**Please note, this event is on a Monday night, not our usual Wednesday night**

We will be meeting on the upper level "commons" area at NERD. Take the elevator to the 11th floor.

Craig and Greg gave enough technical detail to demo a native app versus a web-based app, but not so much that it overwhelmed us.

Nice presentation, guys. It was great to have a highly experienced company discuss what they learned through the process --and even more so-- see development within the IDE. Those things combined should give newbs a great jumpstart on something they might be completely new to.

Excellent presentation by Greg Raiz and Craig Spitzkoff. It was a perfect mix of very technical code samples with Xcode and non-technical information about the business of creating mobile apps. Great job!

Greg and Craig were terrific. I especially enjoyed the hands-on live demo on XCode development and creating ViewControllers. Great stuff.

Very informative presentation covering both the business and technical aspects of app development. The live-coding of the iOS app was especially helpful.
