Time: Friday 12:00 - 13:00

Abstract:

Mobile development based on HTML, JavaScript and CSS has been getting a lot of traction in the last year. Because it is now possible to write cross device applications and target a big share of the available devices, a whole new world of possibilities is opening itself up to web developers. In this talk I will give you insight into the current state of mobile cross-device application development based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS will show you how you can use JavaScript toolkits like the Dojo Toolkit to support your development with powerful tools. I will show how you can start writing apps now and I will give you a glimpse into the future by showing prototypes of web based mobile applications communicating with real hardware like your home appliances and much more.

Keywords: Mobile, JavaScript, Dojo, Mobile Applications, Widgets

Target audience: People who are investigating into writing web based mobile applications, people who already are actively developing mobile applications based on web technologies and people who want to see what else you can do with JS/HTML/CSS besides writing mobile apps talking to webservers.
