Let’s take a deeper look at some of the more popular options for building native mobile applications with Javascript. We will definitely go over, in depth, the big 3 players, Appcelerator’s Titanium, Telrik’s Native Script, and of course Facebook’s React Native. We will also go over some of the smaller players in the space and what they have to offer. Don’t miss this session if you have a new project coming up or an established project that you want to keep current.
When you leave this session you should have a good feel for the strengths and weaknesses of each platform and a solid grasp on how to create a “hello world” app in each of the 3 big players.
