Opportunities for mobile development are still growing at an accelerating rate!
Sencha Touch is one of the hidden frameworks for developing mobile apps for IOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android and BlackBerry.
The industry calls this cross-platform mobile development and it's all done with HTML5.
Sencha Touch is the closest you can get to a true mobile native experience, while leveraging your existing skills, yet the learning curve for this framework could be very steep and at times intimidating.

In this talk, you are going to learn:

- How to get started with Sencha Touch.
- The life cycle of a Sencha Touch app.
- How Sencha Touch uses models, views, controllers and stores.
- How to test your app on IOS devices.
- How to test your app on Android devices.
- The easiest and fastest way to be productive with Sencha Touch.
- And if time permits, how to package your mobile app for submission to the App Stores.

Presentation Summary:

MongoDB has been designed for versatility, but the techniques you might use to build, say, an analytics engine or a hierarchical data store might not be obvious. In this talk, we'll learn about MongoDB in practice by looking at hypothetical application designs (based on real-world designs, of course). Topics to be covered include schema design, indexing, transactions (gasp!), trees, what's fast, and what's not. Sprinkled with tips, tricks, shoots, ladders, and trap doors, you're guaranteed to learn something new in this interdisciplinary talk.

QWAB continues to evolve with cutting edge technologies such as Boostrap from Twitter, the HTML5 framework that is rapidly gaining massive adoption.


Whether the project interacts with one or hundreds of database tables, QWAB builds a complete Web Application in 3 easy steps. For cases where rapid development is desired, QWAB provides standard PHP/MySQL CRUD in generic and Bootstrap (from Twitter) format in 2 steps, through its Web-GUI guided approach. Beginners and expert developers will equally benefit from having QWAB in their Development toolbox.


In this presentation you will learn:


• How to get started with QWAB.

• How to build your first complete functional Web Application in minutes through QWAB’s 3 step guided process.

• How to generate standard CRUD from QWAB in 2 steps.• How to generate CRUD for Boostrap from Twitter in 2 steps.
