Introduction to NativeScript

Este febrero estamos que lo tiramos, con no una sino dos charlas especiales. En esta ocasión nos visita Sebastian Witalec del proyecto NativeScript, para contarnos en qué consiste, en inglés, por supuesto :)

Introduction to NativeScript

NativeScript is a free and open source JavaScript framework for building native iOS, Android, and (soon) Windows Phone apps. But I know what you’re thinking: another way of building apps? What makes NativeScript special? Here are a few cool things:

Direct access to native APIs—no plugins required. Want to create a file on Android? Run new java.io.File()—in JavaScript!
Completely native performance through the use of a JavaScript bridge natively available on all three mobile platforms.
Cross-platform libraries for common use cases. Need to call a JSON API? Run http.getJSON
Style native apps using CSS. Yep, that’s actually a thing.

Curious about how it all works? Come learn! Architectures will be explained; apps will be built; and fun will be had by all.

Technical Evangelist for Telerik with over 8 years of experience in software engineering and architecture.
Sebastian has passion for all types of technologies. However in the last few years his focus shifted towards cross platform Mobile development where he gained experience with Apache Cordova and NativeScript (a member of the team).
He is always happy to learn about the new stuff and to pass the knowledge as far as his voice (or the wire) can take him. Sebastian is based in London, UK actively working with various Dev communities in the area. When not acting techie he is a massive football fan/player (probably bigger at heart than skills).
