2009 Session: Creating cross-platform mobile applications with the Dojo Toolkit
Thursday, 15:35 - 16:25
Track: Web Development
Developing for different mobile devices comes with a new set of challenges. In this talk I will show you how to develop JavaScript/HTML/CSS based applications running on different widget runtimes (e.g. W3C,Phonegap). You will get introduced to techniques on how to use the different native device APIs for an optimized experience for each device, what the nouances each of the different widget runtimes have and how the Dojo Toolkit gives you the right tools you to make mobile development easier
Expectations
You should attend this talk if you are interested in cross platform developing for mobile phones and don't want to limit yourself to writing applications with the native SDKs of different devices.
