The mobile applications market is moving at the speed of light. While smartphones created huge ripples in form of many players and platforms to alter the ecosystem, tablets are now entering the space to alter the mobility game even more. No matter which you space you play in — enterprise or consumer, mobility with native, hybrid, and/or web based apps has to be a part of your survival strategy.
Gartner predicts that in the next two years, 60% of the enterprise mobile applications and 40% of consumer mobile applications will be web applications. HTML5 is an emerging standard which has the potential to build rich web applications using CSS3 and Javascript and is predicted to take over a large piece of this pie. Some big enterprises are already ahead on the adoption curve and some are already rethinking their mobility strategy to integrate new technologies. This new paradigm brings significant advantages by lowering the time and cost for production, providing ease to work across multiple platforms, and making it very simple to port applications to native device code.
But there’s never a free lunch as they say. Designing web apps in HTML5 does require an in-depth UI/UX look at some of the key usability attributes like browser compatibilities, screen orientations, forms factors, frameworks etc. There are some ‘browser and animation tradeoffs’ that need to be made and some unique challenges taken care of when adopting HTML5. But we at Apexon are convinced that if you have a good UX team in place, most of these issues can be worked with.
Join Ray Matsil, our UI/UX designer tomorrow as he uncovers some of these challenges and his experiences in working around those to create sleek and stylish web apps in HTML5. This will be your chance to get all your questions around designing HTML5 based apps answered and also understand some of the advantages this platform provides over native solutions.
Register today, and if for some reason you’re unable to attend, we will be recording this session and it will be available as an on-demand webinar.
