The Mobile World
There are now over 2.5 billion mobile devices in the world, vastly exceeding the number of PCs and laptops combined. Soon it will be possible to address nearly every person in the world with an app. This changes both what you develop and how you develop it. This talk examines the ramifications of the increased emphasis on the mobile world from a developer perspective.
The talk will discuss issues related to both iOS and Android, as well as the combined programming models like Appcelerator Titanium and Apache Cordova. It will also include recommendations for the future involving wearables and automotive apps.
