Session descrip­tion

There is no deny­ing that the Apple App Store is huge, but who wants to have to deal with Objective-​​C? Thankfully, tech­nolo­gies like PhoneGap and Sencha allow web devel­op­ers to work in lan­guages they know (HTML/​CSS/​JavaScript) while still mak­ing them look native. PhoneGap also allows us to port our apps to other plat­forms, like Android.

This ses­sion will look at the mobile web devel­op­ment life­cy­cle from build­ing a pro­to­type in the browser, inte­gra­tion with the phone, app sub­mis­sion and some basic mar­ket­ing tricks.
