Take Away
Programming for mobile devices is a lot more than adjusting to the smaller screen; there are additional opportunities in the mobile devices themselves: GPS, camera, motion sensors, etc. However, they have significant challenges: comparatively primitive development environments, and operating systems. These are discussed along with how HTML 5 and Rhomobile are working towards a single programming API across mobile platforms.
Introduction
This was presented by Sarah Allen of Blazing Cloud (gotta retrieve the presenter's name)
Rhomobile framework call "Rhodes"
Mobile app development sucks:
- Awkward
- In some ways is archaic
- Old languages
Brand Transcends Platform
My brand instead of cell phone brand. (Do I agree w/ this?).
Mobile gives you more than desktop:
- Geolocation
- Camera
- Connected
- Everyone you know is connected
Means you have different opportunities than desktop.
write Once - Run Anywhere
How to get code onto the device.
- Rhodes is similar to Rails.
- Views are HTML.
- It all works within the device. So a kind of HTML processor is inside the device.
It's also analogous to Rails:
- Controller -> RhoController
- Model -> Rhom
- View -> eRB files
Javascript alternatives:
- Titanium
