Developing Android Apps Using Web Technologies
Many developers think of Android as being only for Java developers. While that is the “sweet spot” today for Android, there are plenty of opportunities to develop applications for Android using Web technologies you may already know.
This 90-minute presentation will describe five means of building Android applications using Web technologies, including HTML5, Flash, and AIR. We will review the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, what it takes to create an application in each and take it to the Market, and where each is likely to go in the future.
