Hi All, Decided to email the presentation proposals Google has made, to help coordinate effort. Hopefully others can fill in gaps we aren't covering and not duplicate what we already cover.
======== - Andrew [SF]: Rapid Iteration Options for Cordova Apps A comparison between 4 tools for an iterative Cordova workflow: - CLI (e.g. `cordova run`) - Ripple/browser - PhoneGap App - Chrome App Developer Tool Will highlight the pros & cons of each and show off some of the most compelling features of each one. - Ian [Berlin]: Introducing Crosswalk for Cordova Cordova on Android has always leveraged the operating-system-provided WebView to render your applications. This means that your users are stuck with whatever features their phone came bundled with (and old phones are never updated) Soon, with the next branch of Cordova Android, you will be able to replace the WebView itself, as easily as adding a plugin. In this talk, I'll show off one of the first of such plugins, the Cordova Crosswalk Engine plugin, being developed by Cordova team members, with the help of Intel engineers. I'll show off what it can do, who's using it, and how easy it is to install and use in your own applications. - Ian [Berlin]: Plugin development: Best practices for Cordova 3.5+ In this talk, I'll be giving an overview of modern Cordova plugin development, highlighting the best practices for creating a cross-platform, testable plugin which can be published on the Cordova plugin registry. In addition to showing the overall structure of a well-constructed plugin, I'll present some tips for interactive development and debugging with IDEs, and explore the limits of what Cordova plugins can do. - Michal [SF] Plugin Testing Learn all about "new-style" cordova plugin tests, including how to run them from within your existing app or the cordova mobile spec, how to write your own plugin tests, and best practices. - Mark [Berlin, possibly SF] Cordova & Gulp: Combining Cordova with other web dev tools using build system workflows The traditional Cordova CLI based development workflow is sometimes difficult to add into existing web apps or combine with some popular tools such as Sass, CoffeeScript, Bower etc. I will demonstrate a simple workflow based on Gulp (or really, any other build system) where Cordova can easily coexist with such tools allowing for greater flexibility in workflow customization and automation. ======== Since most of us cannot make both PGDays, we may cover each others' talks at the other events if they prove useful (or perhaps others here would like to collaborate on some of these?). -Michal
