Tablet\Mobile Development - Getting Started

Question

User-465344484 posted

Hey y'all,

I have several years experience with ASP.NET, and we're (finally) getting serious about mobile\tablet development.  I wanted to get a feel, how is everyone approaching their development for these newer devices?  Is anyone writing solely against the HTML5 spec at this time?  What frameworks have you been using?  Has development been scalable? 

Not necessarily interested in Windows Phone just yet.. still waiting to see adoption increase before we attack that.

Thanks!

Oh c'mon.. nothing?  Should I just develop for Android and iOS? (that should spark something )

WP7:http://create.msdn.com/en-US/

Window 8:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/preview

I guess in the future,more things will be on the device.

And iso is just like c++ development.

Mobile /Tab Web development future lies in HTML 5 & few Open Source JavaScript Framework libraries like JQuery Mobile, JQTouch , Sencha Touch, Dojo Mobile etc. Each of libraries has their own support for native plug n feel & deployment in market store close to phone gap.

Now in Windows 8 Metro & even in asp.net 4.5 also can be embedded for mobile web with HTML 5 , CSS 3 along with this touch support JScript libraries which is applicable for a signifant series of smartphones like android, iphone, BB, Symbian, Palm Web Os, WP7 etc.
