Calatrava A cross-platform mobile framework
- controllers - domain objs. - services <html> views
update UI respond to user input kernel UI
updating the UI
someView.render( aViewMessage ) updating the UI {...}
someView.render( aViewMessage ) updating the UI {...}
someView.get( ‘field_id’, callbackFn ) reading the UI
someView.bind( ‘event_id’, callbackFn ) responding to events
calatrava is ‘HTML irst’
<html> <html> <html> HTML irst
HTML irst Get broad plat orm coverage quickly No glass
ceiling or UX Avoid the uncanny valley Experiment cheaply, validate, and double-down only where it matters
Testing Acceptance Tests
Testing app logic Acceptance Tests
where’s your logic? mobile app mobile services

In Summary Strategy depends on context The Web Is The
Future ‘Hybrid’ == Mobile App Portable Body > WORA Consider Thin Client
