The State of (Mobile) Web Development 2011

3 pointsby flingabout 14 years ago
Great report on the state of mobile web development. Some key findings:<p>* 2010 saw an explosion of interest and activity by developers in HTML5, and developing native apps for mobile platforms like iOS and Android using web technologies. * Android gains dramatically on iPhone as developers’ regular mobile browsing platform There is a correlation between the devices and platforms developers use, and those they develop for. * Web site testing across a wide range of mobile devices jumps significantly. * JQuery Mobile leads from JQTouch and SenchaTouch in a still immature mobile frameworks market place. * Three quarters of respondents expressed an interest in developing native apps using web technologies in the coming year, with 30% likely to do so. * iPhone, iPad, along with Android phones and tablets all show strong interest from developers, while other platforms have their work cut out to woo web developers. * Web developers express confidence in developing native apps using HTML5, with reservations about application performance and user experience.
