[ajug-announce] Next Meeting - May 18: Easy mobile development (IPhone, Android, iPad) without native code

[Gunnar Hillert]

Dear AJUG members!

This is just a friendly reminder that the May meeting is here. This 
month our very own Pratik Patel will talk about "Easy mobile development 
without native code". I was just reading about the latest statistics on 
mobile phone sales, which are stating that Android-based phones outsold 
iPhones for the first time and both platforms have now roughly the same 
market-share 
(http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2010/05/android_outsells_iphone.html).

Therefore, the option of being able to develop for both platforms (and 
others as well) with a single development approach does sound very 
compelling. Additionally, for us application developers, mobile 
platforms are getting increasingly important. Therefore, please join us 
for this very educational and free event!!

Lastly, if you would like to present on Java/JVM related topics at our 
monthly AJUG meetings and/or at the DevNexus 2011 conference, please 
contact us at *info at ajug dot org*.

_This month's meeting details:_

*When:*  May 18, 2010 @ 7:00pm
*Where:* Holiday Inn Select - Chamblee-Dunwoody Road 
(http://www.ajug.org/confluence/display/AJUG/Meetings)
*Who:*  Pratik Patel
*What:* Easy mobile development (IPhone, Android, iPad) without native code

*Description:*

So you have a great idea for an IPhone app, you've tried learning 
Objective-C, but it's just too hard. What about those other new 
platforms like Palm Pre and Android? Who wants to write the same app 
three times? Four times if you count Blackberry! Fear not, there is a 
much easier way for you to develop on the IPhone. Using a development 
style called "hybrid mobile applications" you can write apps for IPhone 
and other platforms using stuff you already know: HTML, CSS and 
Javascript. In this course, we'll go over the basics for hybrid development.

*Our Speaker:
