Why is my Hair on Fire?

• Web vs Native vs Hybrid • Device Considerations • OS’s – Fragmentation •  Internationalization • Automation •  Performance •  Experience

•  Native - single platform Web - cross platform •  Native - written in platforms(SDKs) Web - html, css,

asp.net, java, php. •  Native - installation is required Web - no installation is

required. •  Native - updated from play/app store Web - centralized

updates. •  Native - don’t require Internet Web - it’s a must. •  Native - faster when compared to Web apps.
