Session description

Where once web pages were sand­boxed, with little if any access to the underlying device capabilities, increasingly, this is no longer the case.

From the first steps of geolocation, which enables any web site or application to ask the browser for a user’s location, an increasing range of device features are being exposed in the DOM: the file system, camera, gyrosopes, address book, com­passes and more.

In this session, Dave Johnson, originator of the phoneGap project delves into HTML5 and related device APIs, enabling us to build richer, more sophisticated applications in the browser.
