Other “Frameworks”??

Lots on GitHub! https://github.com/blackberry Other “frameworks” ?

Backbone.js – a framework for adding MVC (or MVP) structure to your Web applications. Not a UI framework. See: http://devblog.blackberry.com/tag/backbone-js/

Angular.js – similar to backbone.js, but created by Google. Node.js – This is a JavaScript runtime (not a JavaScript framework). You

install this on a machine and interact with it via JavaScript from the command line. Think of it as a browser with no UI. See: http://devblog.blackberry.com/?s=node.js&search=

10

BaaS Providers?

All have javascript API They help you focus on your app’s UI/UX by dealing with

all the ugly backend stuff (databases, notifications, authentication, scalability, cloud storage, etc.)

TOP TIER BrowserCOMMITTED to Open Standards & Open Web

Web Apps are FIRST CLASS Citizens

BlackBerryZ10

What’s BlackBerry’s Web Strategy?

Leading HTML5 support Be very active in

WebKit contributions Top open source frameworks (jQM, Cordova)

First-class support for packaged Web apps Enable native integration

But deprecate in favor of Standards as they evolve

Push the boundaries of mobile web as a platform…

14

Not Your Father’s Smart Phone!

15

1. BlackBerry has a TOP TIER Browser now (and has for a while!)

2. BlackBerry is COMMITTED to working in the OPEN and contributing to Open Standards. We are putting Money and Resources behind the Open Web

3. We treat Web Apps as FIRST CLASS CITIZENS on the Platform

The Browser Stack

21

Web Platform

Web Platform – a new framework for Web applications The foundation of the Browser, WebWorks, QNXCar2 UI Multi-process launcher Management of WebViews (independent web content container) Native API access from JavaScript – platform integration

e.g. PPS, sharing framework, invocation framework BlackBerry 10 UI elements…

22

Web Platform provides Native UI Elements

We have Web versions of BlackBerry 10 UI Using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG, images CSS transitions (accelerated compositing) are key to making things fast,

window animations cover some additional tricky cases Dialogs, form elements, action bar, sheets, crosscut menu, viewers/cards
