Hands-on Mobile Development

It will come as news to nobody that mobile App development is a hot topic on the minds of many businesses, as well as individuals who simply want to develop Apps that sell. However, it's not always clear how to get started, and especially, how to leverage your existing development experience to target multiple devices efficiently.

In this practical session we'll cover the fundamentals of mobile development:

• Making the choice between Native and Cross-platform?
• Designing your User Interface
• Accessing databases 
• Accessing device capabilities such as:
  • Cameras
  • Location
  • Accelerometer  
• Targeting iOS and Android without rewriting your app
• Debugging in the simulator and on the device
• Deploying to the device and the App Store 

This session is especially relevant for people familiar with RAD tools like Visual Studio, Visual Basic, Access or Delphi however there really is something for everyone, whether you're a developer (mobile or otherwise) or just interested in the latest in mobile development.

Light lunch to be served at 11:30am. Presentation to start promptly at 12:00pm.
