"Earlier this year everyone was flying high with expectations for building mobile applications with HTML5. jQuery Mobile was in full swing, and new platforms like Icenium were making the process seamless. Then Mark Zuckerberg pulled out the rug when he declared that the slowness of their Facebook iOS application was because they ""Bet too heavily on HTML5"".
The truth is that HTML5 mobile applications are no different than any other application. They need to be optimized. Since we use them across so many different platforms, they REALLY need to be tweaked for performance. In this session, Burke Holland will show you how to build HTML5 mobile apps that perform like they are purely native, not like laggy web sites. Learn about common pitfalls and snags that can eat your lunch as a developer if you don't know what to watch out for. Building apps with HTML5 is still the most cost effective way to target mobile, and that doesn't have to come at the cost of performance."
