The Downsides of Native• Proficiency in each platform required• Entirely separate code bases• Timely & expensive development• Diminishing returns

5

More Platforms. More Problems.

Why are we still coding for multiple platforms?

“ Is there an alternative? ”

7

• Hybrid Apps: HTML5 that acts like native• Phonegap renamed to Cordova• Web wrapped in native layer• Direct access to native APIs• Familiar web dev environment• Develop a single code base (web platform)

8

• Have a multi-million dollar budget?• Have a large team of experienced native developers?• Does your billion-dollar revenue depend on this app?• If so...do native

• Common UI• Views• Navigation and stack history• Transitions• Gestures

Native SDKs Are Great

12

• It's the wild-west for hybrid apps• We need to bridge the gap between web and native• We need rich, native-style UI components and interactions• We need UI APIs, not just jQuery widgets

There's No Web SDK
