Different Flavors of Mobile Web
 Basic HTML
 Application is all HTML, server side apps.
 Hybrid App (Wrapper)
 Hybrid apps run inside a native container, and leverage the
device’s browser engine (but not the browser) to render the
HTML and process the JavaScript locally.
 Mixed Mode Application
 Version of native application where some forms are rendered
in the WebView while others are rendered using the native
SDK.
 SPA – Single Page Application
 Native app experience in a browser.

Hybrid


So why you are participating today?

“The biggest strategic mistake we made as a company was betting too
much on HTML5 as opposed to native.”
Mark Zuckerberg, facebook

But is this true for you?

HTML5 Technical Challenges & Advantages

Challenges Advantages

• Less stable than native • Leverage effective web search
• Pulls in data much more slowly than technology for discoverability
native • Native mobile developers are
• Browser fragmentation getting more expensive
• No app store discoverability • More capable than HTML4
• May take longer to generate • Multimedia support
revenue • Cost efficient
• Scarcity of mobile web developers • Cross-platform
• Less offline capabilities • Less maintenance
• Poor gaming capabilities • Multivariate testing
• Not as UX rich as native • Faster time-to-market
• Less device access capabilities • Smaller device footprint
• Can be wrapped in hybrid format


Business Challenges with HTML5

 Leverage existing resources
 HTML Expertise
 Leverage existing assets
 Widgets, Components, and 3rd party libraries
 Access to App Stores
 How users find and download mobile application
 Designing enterprise apps for all target channels
 Includes mobile and desktop channels


Market Challenges with HTML5

 Low Adoption Rates for HTML5
 Development Cost
 Immature Features

The Biggest Concern!

*Courtesy of Kendo UI, “HTML5 Adoption Fact or Fiction”


Why are you considering HTML5?
 What industry do you function in?
 Is it driven by tech?
 How much does content matter to your users?
 Industry like publishing put content at a premium
 How do your users access and consume content?
 Mobile, Desktop, Other
 How does mobile satisfy your business needs?
 Revenue driven?
 Does your business need to evolve as fast as
technology?
 Gaming vs Publishing

Do your research
 What do your users want? B2C or B2E or Both?
 What devices are your users on?
 What are your operational and maintenance cost
requirements?
 What UX experience do your users require?
 Are you looking to be in the app store?
 How much and how often will your users be accessing
content offline?
 Will you be supporting HTML5 browsers only or others too?
 Do you wish to leverage 3rd party libraries like jQuery or
Sencha? Or code straight HTML/CSS/JS?
 Is vendor lock a concern?
 Are you considering a wrapper deployment?

HTML5 – May Be a Good Fit
 Viable Solutions
 Publishing, Magazines, and News Letters
 Information/content-driven apps, forms-based apps, and
mapping apps
 Low Storage Requirement
 Local storage limits for mobile web apps is 5M
 Simple Graphics
 Does not require a rich U/I or U/X
 Large Amounts of Device Interaction is NOT Required
 HTML5 has limited support for device API’s

HTML5 App Development Options
• Multiple Development Projects - Multiple projects, one mobile Web HTML5, one ( or more for
each platform ) for native applications.
• Leads to multiple versions of the code, increased effort to maintain functionality, support
the application, and maintain against mobile chaos.

• Hybrid Platform Approach - Leverages an HTML5 core placed inside a native wrapper.
• Application can be deployed as mobile web or hybrid to access native functionality
• Increased support and maintenance due to HTML5 to wrapper application efforts

• KonyOne Platform Approach - The same application definition is used for both mobile and
native applications while reducing development cost.

Eliminating the HTML5 Challenge with Kony

KonyOne Platform HTML5
Browser Kony handles the variances to Developer codes the variances to support
Fragmentation support HTML5 across “All” browsers HTML5 across browsers

Development Single platform for development and Additional code required to handle
Cost integration current variances and development
required for server side components

Testing Integrate test environment to test Apps must be tested on a range of
applications on “ALL” target devices popular devices. Developers must
standup test suite for each target device

Performance Highly optimized code to maintain HTML5 may be designed to run on
performance across varying various devices, but no reliable way to
hardware specifications maintain performance across varying
hardware specifications


HTML5 Fragmentation Example

• HTML5 is a great technology, but is a work in progress.
• Kony handles the HTML5 variations, and creates optimized sites for
specific browsers so you can use the best of every browser.
• Others use HTML5 to try a cross-platform shortcut.
• Of course, Kony also lets you build hybrid, and fully native apps too!

Debunking the Myths
1. HTML5 is all I need to go mobile.
a. HTML5 is a fantastic technology that provides significant browsing improvements.
However, it will not reduce the need for companies to provide native applications
as a part of their mobile channel mix.

2. I only need one skillset to build HTML5 Applications.
a. HTML5 development required HTML, CSS3 and JavaScript expertise. If creating
Hybrid mobile apps without Kony, expertise with targeted device API’s is required.

3. Browsers will eventually standardize HTML5.
a. Non–standard browsers implementations are caused by competitive forces,
competition won’t go away. Browsers wars will produce continued fragmentation.

4. Cost of developing an mobile app with HTML5 is less.
a. Many technologists hope HTML5 will be the silver bullet to tame the mobile chaos.
Ironically, HTML5 simply adds another mobile channel organizations must
support.

21

Summary
 Determine if HTML5 satisfies your business and user needs. It
may be the right answer for your development efforts

 Companies wanting to compete effectively in the mobile
marketplace can’t rely on browser technology alone

 With Kony, supporting new technologies like HTML5 becomes a
business decision because we handle the mobile chaos for you.

 There’s no need to gamble on the future of the mobile industry

Twitter: @kony

What’s the connection to Mobile?
 One can approximate a native app experience
 Wrap HTML in a native code “wrapper”
 KonyOne, for example, can provide
 Enclosed HTML and Lua/Javascript
 Including access to native device’s hardware through
Kony’s platform-specific APIs

25

What’s the connection to Mobile?
 Wrapped-HTML5 approach allows enterprises to leverage
power of the native mobile app package
 But HTML5 does most of the heavy lifting
 HTML5 widgets can be incorporated into a wrapped
application
 Yet, the application is sitting in an app store and is
downloaded on the mobile device like any other app; to the
consumer, it looks identical to any native app.
 Same HTML5 components can be used on any website or
portal site.
 Industry-standard HTML5 -- cross-device, cross-platform,
cross-browser strategy
 Truly a "have your cake and eat it, too" strategy.

26

Mobile Web - Overview
 Smartphones cover 40% of all US mobile
devices
 Of this 40%, approximately half have browsers
capable of some HTML5 features
 1 in 5 are therefore able to view HTML5 content
 For companies supporting both mobile web and
native app channels, 50% of users come in via
the mobile web


At-A-Glance: HTML5
 By 2014, in new websites targeted to mobile
devices, the use of wrapped HTML will have at
least 10 times the growth rate of Adobe Flash
and Microsoft Silverlight.
 By 2014, 30 of the most popular 100 Web
applications will work online or off
 Through 2020, attempts to displace browser
JavaScript with proprietary client-side Web
programming languages will fail.

28

HTML5
 Language for structuring & presenting content to
the web
 Core technology of the internet
 5th revision of HTML standard
 Main goals:
 Improve the language to support multimedia
 Keep it readable by web designers/developers
 Keep it understood by browsers & parsers

29

 Collection of dozens of specifications in various
stages of maturity and vendor support
 Final specification in 2022
 Aggregation of significant enhancements to
HTML, CSS and HTTP.
 HTML5 + CSS3 + Javascript - Not going away

31

HTML5: Not A Silver Bullet BUT May Be Right For You
 Native is necessary to access innovative hardware until support is added
into HTML5 and browsers begin implementing that support
 Non-standard browser implementations are caused by competitive forces –
competition won’t go away, browsers will continue to fragment
 Companies wanting to compete effectively in the mobile marketplace can’t
rely on browser technology alone
 Organizations must continue using native applications and other
technologies in addition to browsers
 Many technologists hope HTML5 will be the silver bullet to tame the mobile
chaos. Ironically, HTML5 simply adds another mobile channel organizations
must support
 HTML5 is a fantastic technology that provides significant browsing
improvements. However, it will not reduce the need for companies to provide
native applications as a part of their mobile channel mix.
 Determine if HTML5 satisfies your business and user needs. It may be the
right answer for you. But it is not the right or only answer for everyone.
