HTML5 vs. Native Applications, The Presentation

This slide deck was prepared for my guest lecture at the University of Nebraska-Omaha’s spring course on Mobile Application Development (BSAD 8916-005). The course was developed in partnership with Google’s University Relations program and included a variety of business and management students with limited programming experience. My lecture was approximately six weeks into the course, and the students had already developed a few simple Android applications. My task was to convince them that HTML5 and Web Development is a viable alternative to native application development, for most use cases.

(I appreciate the irony of sharing these slides using the flash plugin)

If there’s demand, I do have a video of the talk. Let me know and I can do a bit more work to package the video and upload it.

Why not error messages that tell you when your internet has been disconnected? How about one that tells you when you’ve been logged out (maybe in another window) and allow you to reauthenticate to the server right there? I don’t believe there are any architecture problems with these two ideas.
