  1. April 17, 2013 Patrick Broman Going big with mobile apps

    (HTML5 or native?) Wednesday, April 17, 13
  2. I would *never* work at a company that makes mobile

    apps!! Spotify sounds cool, but I’m going to make mobile apps!! Wednesday, April 17, 13
  3. I work at Wrapp, a mobile-only company! I’m heading up

    iOS apps at Spotify! Wednesday, April 17, 13
  4. Takeaway 1 Never say never. A lot can change in

    a short time - learn from history. Saying “I don't do mobile” is no longer an option - everyone does mobile one way or another. Wednesday, April 17, 13
  5. 3rd party SDK Custom Native Web Hybrid Marmelade, MonoTouch, Corona

    Separate native apps, Shared (C/C++) code PhoneGap, Sencha, JQTouch Web apps MoSync, Titanium Native views + web views, Expose native APIs Wednesday, April 17, 13
  6. Consider 3rd party x-platform solutions ★ ...if you have lots

    of complex, shared business logic ★ ...if you’re a game developer ★ ...if you do enterprise apps ★ ...but make sure it’s open source! ★ ...and beware of lag and genericity! Wednesday, April 17, 13
  7. Takeaway 2 Consider 3rd party solutions, but think about lock-in,

    developer availability, genericity and lag time. It’s not web vs. native - they’re good for different things, sometimes the same things but never mutually exclusive. Wednesday, April 17, 13
  8. Takeaway 3 Mobile development can be scaled and platformized just

    as well as any mobile development. All you have to do is 1) Get the architecture right 2) Get the organization right and 3) Hire lots of awesome mobile developers! Wednesday, April 17, 13
