…and we're back from South-by with two great topics!

Building cross-platform mobile apps (with your existing chops)
Presented by Rob Jones, 2Sides Design

So your client asks you for a mobile app that needs to run Android and iPhone. 
While both platforms have their strengths, designing and deploying for both can 
be a challenge: The development environments are very different, and their 
interface patterns are different enough to require different interaction 
design. On a lot of client budgets (and for design shops that have traditional 
web dev backgrounds), this can be troublesome. 

To solve this problem, mobile frameworks based on traditional web technologies 
such as HTML/Javascript  have emerged. We'll take a brief tour of Sencha Touch 
and jQuery mobile, two frameworks that allow you to build cross-platform apps. 
(As an added bonus, we'll look at how designers can theme Sencha Touch using 
LESS/CSS).

We'll also take a brief look at how you can use Phonegap to get your apps ready 
for the various app stores. 


What is the buzz about Social Business?  Is it the same as social media and is 
it here to stay?
