Presentation: TweetChallenges for developers of building large web applications

With the inexorable rise of native apps, users' minimum expectation is now for a slick, frustration free experience whenever they're using their mobile phones or tablets. But as a web community, we continue to struggle to match the experience of using well designed native apps. In this talk, Graham will look into why that's the case, separating genuine problems from myths by looking at things such as: how much slower are mobile devices really are, whether Javascript execution really is a bottleneck, and the limitations current client-side storage technologies (is AppCache really that bad?) and how developers can look to mitigate the real issues involved in the development of large web applications.
