• Debugging Web Apps on Real Mobile Devices

  by Dale Lane

  A practical, demo-heavy, developer-focused session on how to debug mobile web apps.

  The workshop is aimed mainly at people who have probably done some web development, but aren't familiar with the tools available for web development on mobile.

  The main tool being demonstrated will be weinre - http://phonegap.github.com/weinre/

  The aim is that even if you've not these tools before, you'll be able to set up and use them to debug your own web apps on real mobile devices by the end of the session.

• Native ←♥→ Web

  by Dom Hazael-Massieux

  Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard the 100 reasons why native apps are so much better than Web apps, and the 2000 why the contrary is true as well.

  This talk will explore the space beyond this now usual opposition, and see how much connected apps (whether native, Web, or hybrid) have learned and can learn from each other, and will focus on what Web technologies are cooking to match their native counterparts abilities.

  Spoiler: at the end, they live happily together.

• Developing Network-Friendly Applications: A Mobile Operator’s View

  by Kamran Kordi

  The unexpected explosion in the use of data connectivity has taken key industry stakeholders by surprise, in particular network operators who are at the forefront of delivering services to customers. This is good news for the industry as a whole, as a new dawn of growth and development is at last on the horizon. Nevertheless, the good news is marred by a number of challenges facing network operators in sustaining the anticipated growth. What are the challenges facing network operators to cope with this new phenomenon? Can a common understanding be forged across the industry stakeholders to make it a win-win situation for all including the end users?
