QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for technical team leads, architects, and project managers who influence software innovation in their teams.

Presentation: "The Future of the Mobile Web Platform"

Track: Cross Platform Mobile / Time: Wednesday 15:20 - 16:20 / Location: St. James

In this talk, we'll look at the current state of the mobile web platform, its specific needs, and the ongoing standardization efforts driving it forward.

Through a number of apparently trivial use-cases (ever tried taking a picture with a web app?) we'll cover quite a few existing specs, their implementations in various mobile devices, and the complex issues they uncover.

Finally, we'll look at detailed code example of how these specs can be used to build modern mobile web applications.
