The document advocates for developing mobile-first applications using native development to access device hardware and provide a high-quality user experience. It discusses how mobile usage now dominates over desktop, and that native apps have advantages over mobile web apps in terms of performance, access to device features, and security. The document also presents options for developing across iOS and Android platforms, and introduces the Appcelerator Titanium framework for building native mobile apps using JavaScript.

- 1. Mobile first, mobile right TIM POULSEN Software Engineer, Tooling Team @skypanther
- 2. Goal: Convince you to develop Mobile First Multiplatform Native With computing in the right place
- 3. MOBILE FIRST Online activity: 60% mobile : 40% desktop Mobile app usage up 53% since 2013 (desktop use up by 1%) 85% time spent in apps, not the browser Go Mobile!
- 4. THE OBVIOUS REASONS Access anywhere, any time Hardware integration: Camera, Bluetooth, NFC, etc. Rich experiences: Media, audio, HealthKit, HomeKit, beacons, location detection, etc. Life integration: Calendar, contacts, social networks Apple Pay, Google Wallet, Square ... Go Mobile!
- 5. iOS first, or only? Worldwide market share of ~15% 42% of US market Generates 85% more revenue for developers than Android Targets premier consumers Dominates tablet and corporate markets Closed ecosystem, tight controls, restricted hardware, limited licensing
- 6. Android first, or only? Worldwide market share of ~80% 52% of US market Targets all consumers with range of devices Multi-user profiles, education/school features Open ecosystem, limited controls, flexible hardware, broader licensing Device variations, additional testing, more Android versions
- 7. Both, at the same time Broadest reach Highest revenue opportunities Highest cost Efficient development & testing required Tailored interfaces More design, testing, cost
- 8. WEB APPS & MOBILE-OPTIMIZED SITES Great for occasional / one-time access Not easy to replicate native UI/UX Performance is typically poor Network connectivity typically required Few options for meaningful local data storage Limited access to device hardware Limited security Go Native As much as possible, it’s a good idea to use the standard UI elements that UIKit provides. - iOS Human Interface Guidelines
- 9. NATIVE APPS Native UX/UI components Access to device’s hardware Access to OS-specific components Greater security Better performance Go Native
- 10. Processing in the right place Data Data Data
- 11. Demo

Editor's Notes
- #2: How many are developing a mobile app for their project? Target platform?
- #10: Native UX and UI components –better user experience, matches what they see in other apps Access to hardware – camera, GPS, microphone, et. Access to OS components – database, file system, native map kits, etc. Greater security – access keystores & secure storage, app not sent across the wire, reverse engineering and decompiling possible but more difficult than with HTML/JS apps Better performance
- #15: Apache licensed – Titanium framework, Alloy MVC, command-line tools, and many other projects
- #18: McDonalds, Homes.com, eBay
