"What Web Developers Can Learn From Native Mobile Developers", with TJ VanToll

We're happy to announce another session of the Online ColdFusion Meetup, "What Web Developers Can Learn From Native Mobile Developers", with TJ VanToll, to be held Thursday July 16 at 12pm US Eastern Time, UTC-4.

(The title was originally, "How Native Mobile Development Changed the Way I Write Web Apps", but the presenter, TJ, proposed the change. The description is unchanged.)

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

Web developers tend to be unabashed defenders of the web platform, and tend to view native mobile platforms as proprietary, gated and bloated.

As a long-time web developer I felt this way too, but then something unexpected happened: I joined the dark side, and spent five years of my career working on—gasp—iOS and Android applications.

Now, like an explorer returning from a multi-year safari—I have so much to share! In this talk I’ll discuss how native development has improved the way I write code for the web, and how you can incorporate the best native app performance and testing tips into your web workflows.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER: (provided by the speaker)

TJ VanToll is a front-end developer, author, and a Principal Developer Advocate for Progress. TJ has over a decade of web development experience, including a few years working on the jQuery and NativeScript teams. Nowadays, he helps web developers build awesome UIs with KendoReact.
