What is the buzz about Social Business? Is it the same as social media and is it here to stay?
Presented by Elizabeth Quintanilla, EQ Consultants Group, LLC
Be entertained as Elizabeth Quintanilla shares her unique approach to tech, business and social media. Learn her distinct point of view of "Social Business" and learn about a valuable concept that should be in every tech, entrepreneurs, biz leaders, analysts, and marketers toolkit. Learn why all of us now wear multiple hats such as customer support, PR, marketing, and more in this current environment of Social Media. Remember Social Business helps you get smarter not harder while (if well implemented) more effective.
Building cross-platform mobile apps (with your existing chops)
Presented by Rob Jones, 2Sides Design
So your client asks you for a mobile app that needs to run Android and iPhone. While both platforms have their strengths, designing and deploying for both can be a challenge: The development environments are very different, and their interface patterns are different enough to require different interaction design. On a lot of client budgets (and for design shops that have traditional web dev backgrounds), this can be troublesome.
To solve this problem, mobile frameworks based on traditional web technologies such as HTML/Javascript have emerged. We'll take a brief tour of Sencha Touch and jQuery mobile, two frameworks that allow you to build cross-platform apps. (As an added bonus, we'll look at how designers can theme Sencha Touch using LESS/CSS).
We'll also take a brief look at how you can use Phonegap to get your apps ready for the various app stores.
