Jon Nordling presents with Jo Fraley (Esri) on how to build native GIS apps faster with AppStudio for ArcGIS. Native apps give the best user experience, particularly on smart phones and tablets. Native apps can also run while disconnected from the network and can be published in the Google Play and Apple app stores. In this workshop, we will introduce AppStudio for ArcGIS and how you can easily and quickly assemble fully functional mapping apps that run pretty much anywhere - on a smartphone, a tablet, and even on Windows and Mac operating systems. Explore how to distribute your own apps within the enterprise as well as in the public app stores. Understand how to use QML and JavaScript to start developing your own apps using provided templates or from scratch. Adrienne Allegretti from Blue Raster will also show the art of the possible of how you can go from the out of the box apps to creating your own custom apps using the developer edition of AppStudio for ArcGIS.
