The “Web Platform” Benefits
• Easy to get started
• Existing development tools
• Good approach for addressing very
different devices
• Cross-platform & Cross-browser
• Apps can be deployed freely
• Works fine offline, too :-)
The “Web-Only” Challenge
• Optimize apps (and web rendering!)
for low-end devices
• Make web developer tools work on
remote devices
• Define, use and improve Web APIs
• Web Components?
⇒ “the Web is the [mobile] platform”
Developers can write Apps & Services for ONE Platform – the Web
• Web Apps based on HTML5
• Developers will no longer need to learn and develop against platform-specific native APIs
• Write Apps & Services for one platform – the Web
