MOBILE the JS way

Some of our choices

• Ionic
• React | React Native
• Meteor
• Sencha Touch
• Titanium
• Straight Cordova

With so many choices, we need to choose something that hits the mark

What should go into deciding which framework to use?

• Ease of use
• Support
• Ease of deploying
• Device speed
• Native feel
• Native support
• Learning curve

These are just a few of the variables that can go into deciding which framework(s) to use

Choices

Just like any development project, the route/framework we choose effects everything

We want a road that is made of asphalt and not sand
