From Joomla World Conference 2015: mobile web-enabled apps, JED Starter and JoomGap Boilerplate. On November 6-8th 2015, Joomla! World Conference 2015 took place in Bangalore, India. It has been an excellent opportunity to get in touch with Joomla! community members interested in building mobile applications and validate the growing interest in the area. At the end of the day, mobile apps are here to stay and its popularity goes beyond corporations and big companies. Many attendants expressed that they have already received requests to create mobile apps for Joomla! sites.

Abstract
Mobile web-based applications are the best choice for individual, small
and large businesses developers to provide a way to continue a website
experience. This alternative allows you to work directly in the mobile
environment with nothing but JavaScript and HTML / CSS, using
technologies such as PhoneGap, Ionic and AngularJS Framework. Thus, it
is possible to implement the technology stack most used and known in
the world to launch apps, simultaneously, on all major platforms, from
day one, with the same source code. In Joomla! context, web-based
mobile apps can be integrated with the content management system to
query or execute operations safely. In this session, we will discuss the
main topic , solutions, challenges and a case to introduce how to combine
available technologies for mobile development integrated with Joomla.
