Mobile web apps on tablets : the web2py framework revisited

  • Author: fpp on talk.maemo.org
  • Intended audience: users
  • Talk type: presentation
  • Abstract/description
Last year in Berlin I gave a longish advocacy talk about the merits of web apps on the tablets, as a way for "normal humans" to fill their own needs. I also advocated Python and a framework called web2py for doing this, and ended with a peek at one of my real-life apps. I did not go into any technical detail however.
If the schedule allows it, I thought I might do a follow-up this year, focusing on a more in-depth presentation of web2py : its general philosophy, what services are offered, a tour of its friendly web administration and development interface, etc. No actual coding, except for a few typical idioms and a demo app.

Go-to market opportunities for mobile application developers

  • Author: Boaz Zilberman, co-founder and Chief Architect of fring.
  • Intended audience: application developers
  • Talk type: presentation
  • Abstract/description
I will be happy to present the go-to-market activities fring is doing to publish our application on the many platforms we work on - Linux, WinMobile, Symbian, Android, J2ME and iPhone. My intention is to stimulate an open discussion so we, as a community, can provide better ways to promote the platform benefits to ordinary users rather than the early adopters.
