Talk about different experiences related with mobile web and the android webview. Native vs Hybrid. Drawbacks and benefits of native and hybrid applications
Every URL visited from the Facebook iPhone app is done through a webview. Same with Twitter. Even if you don't have a mobile app, your website gets a lot of traffic from webviews. And yet, testing on webviews is challenging. There are significant performances differences between UIWebView vs WkWebView, and similarly for Android webview vs the new Chromium webview. And what about home screen apps?! In this talk, Steve Souders discusses the differences across webviews and how that affects performance of mobile web apps.

Wrangling Large Scale Frontend Web ApplicationsRyan Roemer
Web applications are massively shifting to the frontend, thanks to exciting new JavaScript / CSS technologies, expanding browser capabilities (visualizations, real-time apps, etc.) and faster perceived user experiences. However, client web applications can be a nightmare to maintain at scale, even for seasoned software architects and operations engineers. Deployment and production infrastructures are complex and rapidly changing. And, frontend JavaScript / CSS code ships to browsers worldwide, where errors and issues are notoriously difficult to systematically detect and diagnose.
In this talk, we will tackle the wild west of the frontend with pragmatic steps and seasoned advice from helping organizations from startups to Fortune 500 companies create some of the largest frontend web applications on the Internet. In particular, we will examine the many hard lessons gleaned from leading frontend application development and education for a team of 50+ engineers rearchitecting a top-five e-commerce site. Some of the topics we will cover include:
* Managing and building very large (500K+ line) frontend application / test code bases.
* Surviving production traffic and errors on the frontend and handling spikes like Black Friday / Cyber Monday for one of the highest traffic e-commerce websites in existence.
* How, where, and why your frontend application is likely to fail.
* Monitoring, logging, and debugging frontend web applications out in the wild.
* Automating checks, tests, and code introspection to protect your code in production.
* Creating an effective, fast, and engineer-friendly development-test-deployment frontend pipeline.
Whether your frontend application already supports millions of transactions a day or you are about to launch your first single-page-application, our aim is to prepare teams of all sizes for the most critical challenges and solutions facing modern frontend web applications.

A great idea can be built with almost any technology. The success or failure of your project has more to do with vision, leadership, execution, and market than technological choices.
Besides the vision, a lot of startups focus on culture. what isn’t often mentioned is that the technical decisions will have a direct effect on the company culture. Great things have been built with each of the technologies. But they do come with a culture.
The purpose of this presentation is to help developers, managers, founders, etc. to make an insightful decision about the framework they want to use to create their product.
The Rich Standard: Getting Familiar with HTML5Todd Anglin
HTML 5 may take some time to find full support in all major browsers, but you may be surprised to discover how many of HTML 5’s features are available today! HTML 5 is the next generation standard for web applications, and it promises to give plug-in based RIAs a serious challenge. In this demo heavy session, you’ll see HTML 5 in action and learn what you can do with today’s browser support for the new standard. If you’re building rich web applications and you’ve never touched HTML 5, this session is a must see.
[Slides from my 'Edge of the Web' workshop]
The web platform has evolved significantly over the last several years, giving developers more power than ever to create rich, interactive applications delivered via browsers. New capabilities in HTML, CSS and JavaScript paired with constantly updating browsers make it possible to do things on the web that used to be the exclusive domain of plugins and native apps. In this workshop, you’ll be introduced to some of the most powerful and useful techniques available to the modern web developer that will change the way you think about web app development.
The future of web app development is exciting, and these are the technologies that will underpin and drive that change. Don’t get left behind with IE8-era knowledge. Get ahead of the curve and master the edge of the web.
In the beginning, progressive enhancement was simple: HTML layered with CSS layered with JavaScript. That worked fine when there were two browsers, but in today's world of multiple devices and multiple browsers, it's time for a progressive enhancement reboot. At the core is the understanding that the web is not print - the same rules don't apply. As developers and consumers we've been fooled into thinking about print paradigms for too long. In this talk, you'll learn just how different the web is and how the evolution of progressive enhancement can lead to better user experiences as well as happier developers and users.
This deck is a conference-agnostic one, suitable to be shown anywhere without site-specific jokes!

Synapse india reviews on mobile application developmentsaritasingh19866
According to the Global Developer Survey ’13 conducted by Telerik, over 5000 developers said that they developed apps using HTML5 in 2012 and 90% of them plan to do so in 2013.
Only 15% of developers said they would prefer to use a native-only approach.
Introduction to hybrid application developmentKunjan Thakkar
The presentation I prepared for in-house skill building. Introduction to Hybrid development. Understanding different frameworks and choosing the right one.
«I knew there had to be a better way to build mobile app»FDConf
I knew there had to be a better way to build mobile apps.
The time has never been better to learn mobile application development. For many app ideas, you don’t even need any prior native development knowledge. You can get started today with knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Unlike native mobile development, mobile applications using web technologies can support many mobile platforms.
So during this session will gain experience how to start from very basics and build mobile apps with zero knowledge. Alius will share his own experience on building hybryd applications based on PhoneGap also he promised to explain why he suddenly changed his own opinion about native apps and switched back to Xamarin.
Top 4 Cross Platform tools for Mobile App Developmenttechugo

Top 4 Cross Platform Development tools are discussed here in the presentation, with few of their major pros and cons:
It is about philosophy: culture of a good programmerFernando Cejas
Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.
Even though technical skills are a very positive thing, other qualifications are really more important: 'features' like respect, honesty or humility are required to become a better person and, thus, a better professional.
This is not an easy path to follow, and in order to accomplish it, let me share experiences on how to be a better programmer. Let's have a walk!
Nowadays, we as android developers suffer serious problems regarding android fragmentation if we wanna use Material Design.
In this talk we will learn how to make backward compatibility easier when applying material design on older devices.
Welcome to the old school world of Material Design.
How to Become the MacGyver of Android Custom ViewsFernando Cejas
MacGyver is part Indiana Jones, part Sherlock Holmes.
He can turn a bicycle frame into a blowtorch, disarm a bomb with a hockey ticket, create a time machine with some duct tape and a paper clip or CREATE A CUSTOM VIEW IN ANDROID.
In this talk we will walk through the Android UI framework and learn how to push it to the next level by learning how views work and how to build custom ones that will let us create innovative a UIs.
Even though we are developers dealing with source code, it is good to know how to deal with UI/UX when building our user interfaces by applying tips and best practices.
So, in this session, we are gonna talk about android usability patterns, based on real cases and experiences with mobile development.
How ANDROID TESTING changed how we think about Death - Second EditionFernando Cejas
"Irreproducible bugs become highly reproducible right after delivery to the customer". This is something that happens "almost" everyday.
It is well known that testing offers significant advantages as a development practice and helps ensure higher quality code with fewer defects.
Unfortunately, testing Android apps can be challenging, so in this session we are gonna talk about available tools and practices that could help us accomplish our goals.

Dinosaurs and Androids: The Listview EvolutionFernando Cejas
Dinosaurs, like all living things, evolved, slowly and gradually, from previously existing creatures. The same happened with Listviews, they also evolved from pre-existing ancestors. Dinosaurs didn’t spring suddenly into existence two hundred million years ago, huge, toothy, and hungry for grub. Listviews on Android appeared since the beginning and they have been changing over the time. As you know, ListView is a fundamental component in Android, one of the most widely used widgets and also the most complex one.
In this talk, Jorge Barroso and Fernando Cejas will explain the evolution of this widget from previous versions of Android (based on its source code), mistakes that have been made in its implementation, giving examples and showing tips on how should be used when developing cool Android applications. Also, stuff like features, optimization, quirks and limitations will take place in this talk.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

10. Benefits of native development
• Default OS look & feel (UI conventions)
• Performance
• Access to device hardware (GPS, etc)
• App store/marketplace distribution
• Benefit from latest OS enhancements
11. Drawbacks of native development
• Tied to the particular OS you built for
• Maintaining a multi OS team/skill-set
• Dealing with the app store approval
process
• Keeping app in sync with OS updates
12. Benefits of hybrid development
• Common codebase for multiple OS's
• Access to device hardware (GPS, etc)
• App store/marketplace distribution
• Skills you already have (HTML, CSS, JS)
• Potential code reuse in web site/app
13. Drawbacks of hybrid development
• Build for lowest common denominator
• 3rd party SDK's might lag behind OS
– Want to use feature X? Wait for an
implementation in abstraction layer
• An abstraction layer can have bugs of
its own. Have to determine if a bug is in
your code, the abstraction layer, or OS.
14. So, what should I build?
• Desktop web app
• Mobile web app
• Mobile native app
16. Webview and the mobile web…
• Webviews and Mobile web are
almost the same…
17. Webview and the mobile web…
• 2 small differences:
– Mobile web authenticates with
web session
– Webview sets up protocols links
18.
19.
20. Webview and the mobile web…
• 1 big difference:
– Through webviews we can
access native capabilities
21.
22. Pitfalls…experiences?
• Android webview has a lot of bugs
• Too heavy widget (poor performance?)
• Differente capabilities depending on the OS
version.
• Cordova webview implementation (not a silver
bullet)
23. Some advice…and conclusions…
• Minimize number of connections
• Do not assume JS has loaded
• Minimize page weight
• Testing in your desktop is not enough
• Do not resize images on the client
• Have a version of the web that works
everywhere
• The most important: know your users
• Test on real devices
