VanDev - Mobile Web: Why Use Web Technology for Mobile Apps? June 5, 2008

In June we have Aaron Hilton of CellMap with a presentation on the importance of building mobile applications with a web technology stack. Web services from companies like Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft combined with the improving performance and connectivity of mobile devices have opened the doors for a suite of innovative mashup applications. Join us as Aaron shows us why we want to put Web apps on mobile devices.

About Aaron Hilton:

Aaron Hilton's passion for computer technology ignited at the age of 7 when his dad gave him a book on GW Basic. At age 10 he discovered TurboBasic, Bulletin Board Systems, and 3D graphics and then at 12 it was C/C++. He went on to study computer science at Camosun and UVic while working at Disney, EA, and UVic.
