Abstract
Going mobile
Join this session to learn about the next generation of mobile application development.
fring, a mobile application and a community with millions of users around the world, enables developers to build mobile applications using their web development skills (PHP, .Net, Java, XML etc).
fring includes VoIP, chat and integration with other networks such as: Skype, Facebook, MSN & Twitter. The fring API provides access to fring’s features and integration with the handset’s core features Camera, GPS, Security etc.
You build your application on your own web server, by using any web development technology and communicate with fring via XML.
The demonstration will focus on two mobile apps: Twitter & Last.fm, which were developed using the fring API and are available as open source.
