Drupal and Phonegap Integration

Speaker(s): 
Track: 
Development & Performance
Experience level: 
Intermediate
Description: 

Mobile is growing fast: 25x over the next five years. In a year or two (if not now), not being present on mobile in a focused manner will be the equivalent of not being present on the web today. With so many mobile platforms and device types available, building effective, sustainable mobile solutions across such platforms is complex and costly.

In this session, we will discuss the integration of Drupal with PhoneGap. This integration enables content from your Drupal site to be converted into mobile app(s) for a wide variety of mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, BlackBerry and several others. The open source PhoneGap allows us to take the power of a content driven Drupal site to a wide variety of mobile devices.

During this session, we will also highlight Armedia's recent integration of Drupal and PhoneGap and demo the resulting product, The Well Project Mobile App, which delivers information to women around the world who are afflicted with HIV and AIDS.

This session will cover:
- Integrating Drupal with PhoneGap
- Best practices for building and deploying mobile solutions across multiple mobile platforms
- Highlighting a real-life use case, around access to HIV information, built on this solution

Hope this makes it in. Phone gap integration with Drupal is a great topic that I'd like to learn more about!
