Presentation: "The Mobile Web Developer's Tool Belt"

Time: Wednesday 13:30 - 14:20

Location: Grand Ballroom BC

Abstract:

Building for mobile web requires a different mindset than desktop web development, and a different set of tools.  The tools we're used to using often aren't available or would take up too much screen real estate.  And going back to the dark ages of tweak/save/deploy/test/repeat isn't exactly optimal, so what can we do?  Thankfully there are a number of great options - from remote debugging to emulation, mobile browsers are offering more and more tools to make our lives easier.

We'll take a look at a couple of tools that you can use today to make cross platform mobile web development easier and then peer into the crystal ball to see what tools may bring in the future.

Pete joined Google in 2011 as a Developer Advocate working on the Chrome Web Store team and the open web platform. He’s been designing websites since his early days in high school, evolving from overlapping < blink >, < marquee > and < font > tags on GeoCities to properly styled CSS, managed hosted websites. Pete works with the web developer community to build awesome new web applications using open web technologies like HTML5 and CSS3.

He can often be found traveling the world with his friends, seeing both exotic and ordinary sites, or in a black and white dark room printing something he shot with a film camera!  He has studied and taught at the prestigious Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle where he completed his Thesis in Fine Art Photography.
