Description:

Using the web platform to deliver rich web apps for mobile users has been in the market for years. However, wrong approaches, slow engines and bad implementations buried the approach for a couple of years. Today, new engines and devices are available, as well as new frameworks and best practices that make the Web app development approach useful and valid again, not just on mobile devices but also on smart watches and other devices.

In this webcast we'll cover:

• Current status of web app and web view engines on iOS, Android and Windows
• What we can do on smart watches on other wearables
• Distribution models: browser installation vs. store distribution
• Real-world examples
• Examples of code and implementations
• When to choose a web platform approach

We'll discuss the state and availability of newer features for web apps, including:

• Service Workers and Background execution
• Push Notifications
• Integration with OS and native apps
