What Should You Do?
well
Easier -What Shouldn't You Do?
The Dont's
Expect one size to actually fit all
Pretend to be native if you aren't - Uncanny Valley is not good
Assume Europe == World
Think you only need an app - websites exist
Think that once your done, you're done
Development Ethos
Let's Start with platforms...
Native vs Cross Platform vs Web
Fragmentation (Yuck!)
Versions. Screen Sizes. Form Factors. Inputs. Features. API's.
Back-End
Cloud. JSON, XML, SOAP.
Design
Form Factors
Phones
7" Tablets
10" Tablets
TV's
Fun Stories
LastMinute
Web OS
Glastonbury
Cross Platform Yo.
Where To-Do
Smaller Platforms Aren't a Bad Thing
Mobile Web Isn't Web
The Reason I Point This Out..
Dream Clients
Firstly....
... They Actually Exist ...
.... Just Hard to Find
Fits in with Your Process
Respects Your Input
Gives You Regular Feedback
Awesome Clients Are Awesome
Fin.
