Mobile Developer Week

Join us for the London DUG session of Mobile Developer Week! 40 Salesforce DUGs from around the world will be meeting during this week, and all will be discussing mobile development and the new Salesforce Platform Mobile Services.

From the developer.force.com blog:

This week we are releasing a new set of developer tools called Mobile Packs (http://www2.developerforce.com/mobile/services/mobile-packs) as part of theSalesforce Platform Mobile Services (http://www2.developerforce.com/mobile/) launch. Mobile Packs are HTML5 libraries and samples that build on publicly available open source Javascript frameworks to provide framework native, idiomatic access to the backend services need by mobile developers. Access to our identity and authentication, database and geolocation services. Initially, we have created Mobile Packs for theAngularJS (http://angularjs.org/), Backbone.js (http://backbonejs.org/) and jQuery Mobile (http://jquerymobile.com/) frameworks. Mobile Packs are intended for the benefit of the developer community and are open source and available on GitHub (https://github.com/developerforce).
