Consumer Experiences for Enterprise
Consumers’ expectations of IT have increased enormously in the last few years as smart phones and on-line services are now common place. This is driving up expectations, as most users are now comfortable with accessing information regardless of the device they are using or their physical location. Users want context aware information and services, but with a constantly changing mobile device market, dominated by three major players, enabling this to the widest possible audience whilst still providing a first class “native” experience is still a challenge. In this session Ross Dargan will explain how apps can be designed to be enabled across multiple mobile platforms and why a native look and feel is important to users. He will cover some of the tools and technologies that are available to achieve this as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.

- 20. Native Development Pros • Very Fast • Access to all platform apis • Gets into the app stores • Supports push notifications Cons • In depth knowledge required for each platform • No code re-use (Expensive)
- 21. Cross Compilation AKA Xamarin Pros • Totally native experience to end use • All the benefits of native application • Fix code in a “core” library and it’s fixed on every platform Cons • You still need to know how to do native development • Additional licensing costs • Very Low level abstractions
- 22. Hybrid Applications aka PhoneGap/Cordova Pros • Supports a lot of platforms • Supports most sensors • Can get in the app store • Supports push notifications Cons • Very slow on most platforms • Expect to spend a lot of time on optimisation • Never looks truly native (often doesn’t even try) • Very high abstractions
- 24. Responsive/Mobile Website Pros • As universal as it gets (so can be cheaper) • Can access motion sensors • Can have some offline capabilities Cons • Won’t get in the store • Cant do push notifications • Must be aware of limited connectivity • Cant do any background work • Can’t access camera*, NFC or other sensors
