To be future friendly is to be device agnostic
(Joe McCann, Subprint)
The mobile landscape is changing dramatically and at a breakneck pace. At first, we thought we needed to simply target smartphones. Then came along tablets. Now, the line between smartphones and tablets are blurring and this is not taking into consideration, televisions, in-store kiosks and even internet-connected appliances!
In my presentation I will demonstrate why being future friendly is not simply a design principle (think responsive design), but it truly means being device agnostic. As more and more devices enter the mobile/casual computing landscape, one must create their products/services to be flexible enough to be consumed or used on any screen on any type of device - this is truly future-friendly.
What you will take away from this is:
- Why a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is key to success.
- Why decoupling your data layer from your presentation layer is critical to be future-friendly.
- Why only targeting mobile browsers is not enough for a cohesive mobile strategy.
- What technologies will enable you to be device-agnostic.

Excessive Enhancement: JavaScript's dark side
(Phil Hawksworth, R/GA)
Are we being seduced by the animation and rich UI capabilities of
modern browsers at the expense of the underlying platform of the Web?
The Web has entered a new phase in its evolution: The proliferation of
a JavaScript enabled audience with increased processing grunt in their
devices, better and more ambitious JavaScript developers, and users
with an appetite for sophisticated experiences, all seem to be helping
to move the web in a rich and exciting direction. Good developers
understand about graceful degradation, progressive enhancement,
unobtrusive JavaScript and the like, so why are we seeing big
companies building web offerings with little apparent thought for
their impact on the Web?
We'll explore this by looking at what the Web was, is now, and might
become. We'll look at examples of exciting user interfaces and
sophisticated interactions. We'll also examine some emerging
techniques for providing rich user interactions without hurting the
web or killing kittens.
