Putting the Web into Mobile Apps

"Web versus app" seems to have been the debate of 2011.  Rather than opposing the two worlds, we will discuss their convergence. As it is time to acknowledge that increasingly application development is becoming like web development. More reliance on web and scripting technologies. Faster life-cycles and instantaneous distribution. Business models that change to become more web like with the increased importance of advertising formats, content and cross channel promotion.

  • How to iterate faster with your mobile apps releases?
  • Taking a publisher attitude to mobile application management?
  • What new approaches to mobile advertising?
  • What web strategies will help you rise into the application store ranks?
