Talk at Stir Trek: Iron Man Edition (English - US)
Mobile applications are leaving their infancy and moving toward broad-based acceptance and necessity. Mobile development is evolving at a rapid pace and is leaving its crude tools and code origins.
The question is: “where is it going?”
The answer can be found in the recent pronouncement by Steve Jobs and announcement by Microsoft. The mobile platform and its use by children through great-grandparents have given the platform vendors an excuse to close off parts of the technology and dictate what and how the developer can do.
We will discuss what applications are doing now, where they are going, what the platforms are moving toward and how a developer can possible keep up with the changes.

This was my favorite session by a hair (sorry iPhone guys). I would love to get my hands on the slides if that were possible. Does Bill speak at conferences on a regular basis? His anecdotal, straightforward information was a nice change of pace. Thanks.

Liked: Informality, sense of fun, voice of experience, informed speculation.
Disagree: The speaker seemed to treat browser==web. "Native" apps can be web apps. Browser apps can be local. Web app doesn't necessarily mean "in the browser." HTML/JS isn't necessarily a web app, especially in the mobile space.
Disliked: Tiny text on slides.
Overall: Enjoyed this a lot, though I'm not sure I'm going to take practical info home with me. Fun, though.
