Mobile 2.0: Developer Pitfalls & Strategies for Improving Mobile Web Developer Experience

Last Friday, I gave a presentation on Developer Pitfalls & Strategies for Improving Mobile Web Developer Experience at Mobile 2.0 in Silicon Valley (Mountain View, California).  It started out by defining the mobile Web, then provided an overview on the mobile device constraints that led to mobile development challenges. I briefly talked about the "Tool Trends" then took an in-depth look at strategies for improving performance when utilizing web technologies (i.e. JavaScript, CSS and HTML) based on Yahoo's 14 Performance Rules. It concluded highlighting the activities of the Symbian Foundation Tools team including a roadmap of how the Symbian tools are being evolved to further improve and enhance the mobile web developer experience.
In case you were not able to attend Mobile 2.0 or would like to take a closer look at the slides presented, it is attached below.
