NYC JavaScripters,
We've got a special treat for you! Ben and Dion, founders of ajaxian.com (https://ajaxian.com/) and directors at HP/Palm, will talk about how to build mobile apps that work for the 12,320 different mobile platforms out there.
HP/Palm will be sponsoring food and drinks. We all love pizza and beer but HP/Palm is taking it up a notch with reBar's gourmet gastropub fare.
The location is also not to be missed, the Meetup will be held at reBar's reRun Gastropub Theater (https://reruntheater.com/). Featuring 60 reclaimed car seats, a full bar and gourmet snack counter, and a twelve foot screen.
More about the presentation:
The Ajax revolution saw a sea of change in web application development. By taking advantage of long-dormant browser capabilities, we were able to take our craft to new levels with HTML5--reinventing well-established genres, challenging desktop applications, and jump-starting a renaissance in web start-ups. The new frontier of application development is mobile and devices. How will the industry handle the massive fragmentation that we are now experiencing? Most devices require proprietary SDKs and porting between them is expensive. This is where the mobile Web comes in. Together we can make it a unified solution that lets you take your experiences cross device using the platform that you know and love. In this session, we will explore how you can take Web skills to mobile right now, and we will share tips, techniques, and exciting tools that will help you get there.
