SUMMARY:Vandev: Why Not Use a Web Technology Stack in a Mobile Application?
DESCRIPTION:Software Developers Meetups > VanDev: Vancouver's Software Deve
 lopers Network\n\nIn June we have Aaron Hilton of CellMap with a presentati
 on on the challenges of building mobile applications with web technology st
 acks.  Web services from companies like Google\, Yahoo!\, and Microsoft com
 bined with the improving performance and connectivity of mobile devices hav
 e opened the doors for a suite of innovative mashup applications.  Join us 
 as Aaron shows us why we don't want to put regular Web apps on mobile devic
 es.  Following the presentation we'll have a door prize draw\, round-the-ro
 om introductions\, and then open the floor for networking.  This is a netwo
 rking event so bring your business/contact cards and a story or 2 to share.
 \n\nAbout the presentation:\n\nCellMap has created a set of online tools to
  build miniature self-contained mobile applications.  While it's generally 
 assumed that mobile devices will have always-on Internet access\, in realit
 y people may lose Internet access in places like sub-way tunnels\, building
 s\, and aircraft and out in the boonies. These situations represent opportu
 nities for maintaining off-line content in mobile applications that have be
 en created and distributed with online tools.  (and yeah\, we're mashing it
  up with the best of 'em. \;)\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nAaron Hilton's passi
 on for computer technology ignited at the age of 7 when his dad gave him a 
 book on GW Basic.  At age 10 he discovered TurboBasic\, Bulletin Board Syst
 ems\, and 3D graphics and then at 12 it was C/C++.  He went on to study com
 puter science at Camosun and UVic while working at Disney\, EA\, and UVic. 
  Today\, as the CTO and a founder of CellMap\, his passion continues with a
  project that focuses on connecting people\, places\, and events via intera
 ctive maps on cell phones.\n\nVancouver\, BC  V6Z 3B7 - Canada\n\nThursday\
