6. REASONS TO LOVE THE
WEB

7. THE THREE D’S OF THE
WEB
http://www.tonyparisi.com 12/3/2014
 DEVELOPMENT
 CROSS-PLATFORM
 VENDOR-NEUTRAL
 OPEN SOURCE
 DEPLOYMENT
 CLOUD
 PUSH-BUTTON UPDATE AND PUBLISH
 DISTRIBUTION AND DISCOVERY
 EMBED IN OTHER PAGES
 SHARE WITH A HYPERLINK
 NO APP TO DOWNLOAD

8. WHAT ABOUT
PERFORMANCE?
 JAVASCRIPT CAN HAVE PERFORMANCE ISSUES, BUT TOO
MUCH NOISE HAS BEEN MADE ABOUT JS PERFORMANCE -
WHEN IT WAS REALLY JUST BAD SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
 STILL, SOME THINGS CAN - AND SHOULD – BE IMPLEMENTED IN
NATIVE CODE. BUT IT’S NOT AN EITHER-OR
 HYBRID TOOLS LIKE PHONEGAP, IMPACT EJECTA, COCOONJS
AND CROSSWALK CAN PROVIDE GOOD INTEROPERABILITY AND
AN HTML5-FIRST APPROACH WITHOUT COMPROMISING
PERFORMANCE
