university of arizona mobile matters - technology, a means to an end
DESCRIPTION
Technology is fascinating, but should this be what's driving us? What are the things you can do to differentiate yourself today? With all that noise, what are things you should be looking at? In this talk we will look at the different technologies available today to build amazing experiences and what's coming tomorrow. We will focus on the importance of learning, crafting and getting out of your comfort zone and most importantly, never be religious about a technology.TRANSCRIPT

There are safe bets.
Monday, October 21, 13
There are safe bets.But you want to differentiate.

Don’t place a technology.
Use the best one to do the job.
Probably one you don’t know (and that’s good).
You want to keep learning.

Preconceived ideas.
Monday, October 21, 13
A few examples.
Monday, October 21, 13
JavaScript is for “scripting” only.
Monday, October 21, 13
Monday, October 21, 13
asmjs.organ extraordinarily optimizable, low-level subset of JavaScript
Monday, October 21, 13
JavaScript is not object-oriented.
Monday, October 21, 13
ES6
Monday, October 21, 13
// entities.jsmodule entities { export class Person {
private message = "Hi my name is ";
constructor (public name, public age, public town){ this.name = name; this.age -‐ age; this.town = town; }
talk(){ return this.message + this.name; }
get isAbove18(){ return this.age >= 18; }}
Monday, October 21, 13
But what if I want static-typing?
Monday, October 21, 13
www.typescriptlang.org
Monday, October 21, 13
// entities.jsmodule entities { export class Person {
private message :string = "Hi my name is ";
constructor (public name: string, public age: number, public town: string){ this.name = name; this.age -‐ age; this.town = town; }
talk(){ return this.message + this.name; }
get isAbove18(){ return this.age >= 18; }}
Monday, October 21, 13
Which will generate plain ES5 compatible JS.
Monday, October 21, 13
var Person = (function () { function Person(name, age, town) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.town = town; this.message = "Hi my name is "; this.name = name; this.age -‐ age; this.town = town; } Person.prototype.talk = function () { return this.message + this.name; };
Object.defineProperty(Person.prototype, "isAbove18", { get: function () { return this.age >= 18; }, enumerable: true, configurable: true }); return Person;})();

C++ is way too low-level.

You can’t develop an iOS/Android app with a functional programming
language.

Have a look at F#Functional programming language on .NET
