to that effect so I can remove you from the email list.)
CROSS-PLATFORM MOBILE APPS
We're currently working on a course, aimed at non-developers, for building =
cross-platform mobile apps using HTML5, JavaScript, JQuery Mobile and Adobe=
's PhoneGap Build. It will answer questions such as whether this is the rig=
ht approach for you and tie together some of the myriad threads you need to=
pick up to get started and to understand the benefits as well as the drawb=
acks.
Having done a lot of the groundwork already also means we are also in a pos=
ition to offer mobile app development using the above tools - primarily for=
Android and iOS (phones and tablets) but also Windows Phone if required. I=
f you'd like to see examples of what we've done so far, or of these tools i=
n practical use, just visit the Google Play or Apple App stores and search =
for 'syntagm'. Alternatively, see our apps web page at www.syntagm.co.uk/ap=
ps.htm<http://www.syntagm.co.uk/apps.htm>
These are entertainment apps, but of course the principles can be applied t=
o purely commercial requirements as well.
AGILE UX AT JURMALA CONFERENCE
Our two-day Persona-Driven Design workshop plus the half-day Agile UX & UCD=
course that we've just presented at the CHI conference in Toronto both fea=
ture in the programme of the second DevConFu conference in Jurmala, Latvia =
(near the capital, Riga). See www.devconfu.eu<http://www.devconfu.eu> for f=
urther details and booking (look for sessions by William Hudson). The Perso=
na-Driven Design workshop on 26/27 May precedes the conference which starts=
on the 28th. Jurmala is a sea-side resort and hopefully the sea will be a=
little more welcoming than it was for the first conference in November!
