Single-language Development of Cross-platform Mobile Apps

This talk will show 5 different frameworks that allow a single language to be used to target native applications on leading mobile platforms. “Cross-platform” does not mean the exact application executes unchanged on multiple platforms, but that a single language can be used to target them. The presented frameworks allow for shared code to be created while optimizing the experience for each particular platform. The frameworks discussed will include Titanium/Javascript, Corona/Lua, PhoneGap/Javascript, Rhodes/Ruby and MonoTouch/C#. Attendees of this talk will learn the strengths and weaknesses of these frameworks and leave the session with a better understanding of when to choose one over the other.
