1 Beyond the Browser: HTML5 and the Evolving Mobile Web Chris Smith & Laurent Hasson Research In Motion

2 BlackBerry Loves the Web Industry leading webkit browser with best in class standards support Full Web Application platform across tablet and smartphones Leading edge web dev tools for inspection, debugging, emulation

3 Terrible user experience Dumbed down, constrained content Non-standard, completely fragmented No security model, not-sticky, sandboxed Browser chrome (yuck) No local content & storage WML Mobile Profiles WAP XHTML/Mobile Flash Lite HDML TTML.mobi 1 st Gen Mobile Web

4 Full Desktop web content on Mobile Web Standards driven (HTML CSS, JavaScript) Mobile Optimized The rise of HTML5 and CSS3 Store large data using HTML5 storage and stop sending fat cookies over-the-air Use webWorkers to move heavy processing and blocking communications off the main thread Take advantage of HTML5 app cache so your application will work out of coverage Use HTML5 form controls, they do good things on mobile 2 nd Gen Mobile Web

5 HTML5 address key native integration constraints by providing offline storage, proper threading, content cache and data access (geolocation) But … native integration is sandboxed and not-extensible Without a security model sensitive user data remains out of reach There is no way to escape the browser chrome to support alternate entry points and navigation modes The full Native application experience remains out of reach Browser Limitations

6 User interface entirely authored in HTML/CSS Application logic written in JavaScript with full support for standard frameworks Full support for HTML5 APIs for threading, local storage, Geolocation Complete security model allowing full access outside the browser to file system, user data and applications Deeply integrated native application experience without the browser chrome Push enabled to allow content providers to target their audience whenever they want wherever they are Benefits of both native and browser discovery and distribution Next Gen Mobile Web

7 7 Pure Native Pure Web Native UI Browser-based UI All Native logic Mostly native logicMostly Browser logic All Browser logic Some local web resources All remote web resources All local web resources Hybrid model gives developers choice to leverage best of native and web without compromises Hybrid Application Continuum

8 A BlackBerry WebWorks app is a standalone application, created using standard web technologies, that provides full integration with native APIs OSS Community http://www.github.com/blackberryhttp://www.github.com/blackberry BlackBerry WebWorks Framework

9 Web Inspector: Ultimate Web Dev Tool

10 Ripple: Open Browser-based Emulator

11 HW acceleration with CSS3 in mobile Web browsers is underutilized – Nothing much has changed in the past 4 years since slide/fade/zoom/flip. – Flash in comparison for instance has many libraries of very cool effects Smartphones and tablets have the horse power to do better – Some samples out there, but results in lots of CSS and JS to setup, requiring lots of skills Alice (A Lightweight Independent CSS Engine) is a micro-library focused on packaging advanced hardware accelerated visual effects for Web apps – Framework and application independent (can be plugged into Dojo, jQuery, Sencha Touch or other libraries) – Single-line-of-code setup – Physics and Organics – Rich visual effects like bounce, toss, flip, fold Alice: Micro-library of visual effects
