The Telerik Platform is a suite of tools for developing, testing, deploying and analyzing hybrid mobile applications. Hybrid mobile applications are most commonly built using PhoneGap, which interprets HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript and compiles it into a package that can be delivered in the app stores. PhoneGap also utilizes Apache Cordova JavaScript APIs to access certain native mobile features of the device. The Telerik Platform uses AppBuilder to abstract the complexity of PhoneGap/Cordova and provides a more intuitive way to build hybrid mobile applications. If you are looking to expand your .NET and web based development skills into the mobile market this is the session for you. Lessons learned: -What a hybrid mobile apps can do -How Icenium helps build a hybrid mobile app -How you can leverage your current web knowledge and assets to create a mobile app

4. Update on the Mobile
Development Landscape

5. Some Quick Stats (Forrester)
 2.3 Billion people will have a Smart Phone by 2018.
 1 Million apps now, 10 million by 2018.
 200 Million websites today. More than half of web
traffic is now coming from mobile devices.
 $189 Billion will be spent re-engineering web sites for
mobile by 2018

6. Consumer vs. Enterprise Apps
 Consumers demand a targeted experience
 Most apps are downloaded, used for short time and
forgotten.
 The only way to get app loyalty is a clean native experience.
 Enterprises demand cross device support
 Enterprise apps are on the rise, with half reporting plans for an
enterprise store and 88% recognizing the priority of user
experience in every kind of app. (appcelerator 2013 Q3 Survey)
 HTML5/CSS/JavaScript are becoming the go to technologies for
all Enterprise app development.

7. Web, Hybrid or Native?
 This is one of biggest debates out there.
 In 2012 Mark Zuckerberg declared that Facebook’s
biggest mistake had been betting on the mobile web and
not going native.
This is 2014…
 Mobile Browsers and devices are more capable
 Responsive Web Frameworks make responsive web sites a
compelling option
 Hybrid platforms have streamlined the development process
 Plugins exposed most of the device-specific features to Hybrid
apps

Key Takeaways
Mobile Web & Hybrid
Apps are Compelling
Mobile Web & Hybrid
Apps are Faster Now
AppBuilder Maximizes
App Dev Productivity
Depending on the
type of app and the
target audience
these apps can fulfill
your mobile needs.
Developing the same
code base for all
platforms saves time
and money.
Mobile browsers and
devices are getting
better, stronger,
faster. HTML
standards are
beginning to provide
APIs for accessing
device hardware.
Plainly stated,
AppBuilder is the
quickest most
productive way to
develop mobile apps.
It extracts all the
complexities of
building, testing,
deploying and
monitoring an app
