About

 

MobileDevCamp is an upcoming gathering, inspired by BarCamp, SuperHappyDevHouse, and MacHack, to develop web-based applications and optimize web sites for mobile devices - including iPhone . It is a non-commercial event, organized by volunteers, with attendance free to all. By the completion of the weekend event, a number of mobile-ready web applications and sites will be launched. The event will be held at Sabre in Southlake. Out-of-town guests are welcome!

 

Attendees will include web designers, developers, testers; all working together over a weekend to improve the web experience for mobile devices. Development projects will include both solo and team efforts. While some attendees will wish to work solo during the event, we encourage attendees to team up, based on expertise, to work in ad-hoc project development teams. All attendees should be prepared to work on a development project or lead a session during the event.

 

Participants will:

 

  • Create new web applications for mobile
  • Optimize existing web sites and applications for mobile devices
  • Migrate web-based widgets for best mobile experience
  • Test and optimize web sites for a variety of mobile devices
