Andy Tijn and Thomas Schuppel from Nokia will talk about mobile JS and browsers, performance and memory optimization and mobile web based UIs (Andy: Nice Shirt, by the way).
We cannot avoid it anymore: the web and mobile devices have become inseparable. The need for developing web sites and web applications for mobile devices is becoming stronger and stronger. But how do we use web technologies to build our cloud connected services on mobile phones? Do we really rely on strong logic on the server side, or can we start building full blown online and offline applications based on JavaScript, HTML and CSS only? We will discuss how we organize and develop one of the largest scalable JavaScript applications in the history of Nokia, at the same time offering a platform for tiny 3rd-party applications with major power.
