Lanyrd's Mobile Strategy for Rapid Iteration
Simon will take a deep technical dive in to the workings of Lanyrd's iOS and Mobile Web apps. This will include their experiences taming the HTML5 application cache and the tricks used in their native iPhone app to experiment with new features, without the overhead of the App Store approval process.
The golden rule of startups is to iterate quickly, but modern mobile development can feel frustratingly slow for teams that are used to building software at web speeds. At Lanyrd, they have been forced to come up with creative ways of iterating their mobile products quickly, across multiple platforms, while ensuring that the key functionality works in both online and offline contexts.

Native, HTML5, and Hybrid Mobile App Development: Real-Life Experiences
by Eran Zinman
One of the biggest dilemmas every mobile developer faces is deciding on a development strategy — should I go for native, HTML5, or hybrid mobile app development? Over the past two years, Eran has led Conduit’s mobile client development efforts, experimenting with cross-platform development in various flavors: from complete HTML5 solutions (using PhoneGap and other technologies) to hybrid solutions, semi-hybrid solutions, and fully native solutions. In this session Eran will share some real-life experiences in cross-platform development, describe changes Conduit implemented along the way, and share what the “big players” are doing in their mobile app development (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter).

Quick tips for porting your iOS designs to Android (Rising Star)
Head to the session to learn how to adapt standard iOS design patterns to Android, snap your UI to a strong grid system, think of Android design as responsive design, use the right icons and extend this knowledge to mobile web apps.
iOS is often the platform of choice when it comes to creating mobile applications, and for good reason. However, this has led us into a design monoculture where skeuomorphism and the Apple Human Interface Guidelines have become the 'angry dictators'. In this current state of affairs, it's easy to overlook the mass of Android users who expect and deserve a different user experience - one where copy-pasting an iOS design to the Android platform simply won't do.
Herve will take you through the bare essentials of porting an iOS design to Android while ensuring the whole process is less painful, less costly and simply better all round.
