Drupal Mobiliser — Mobile Web Overview

Philipp Schaffner 3 July 2010
Type:  Not planned session

Everyone wants to go mobile. Apart from Web 3.0, this is one of the most exciting topics in the applied ICT/Web environment. The problem is: how do I get a proper overview! This session guides participants into the versatile mobile web world:

Theory part:
• What is the .mobi-TLD (Top Level Domain)? What is it good for? Why the extra TLD?
• How to get a 20-minute-overview with the ‚dotMobi Mobile Web Developer’s Guide‘.
• Brief excursion into the jungle of online-tools: http://ready.mobi, http://validator.w3.org/mobile/, http://deviceatlas.com, http://ta-da.mobi, http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ ...
• The developer community http://mobiforge.com (realised with Drupal).

Practical part:

Add a mobile version to your Drupal site

Martin Joergensen 1 July 2010
Type:  Session in official program

This session will go through some different ways of making a parallel version of your Drupal site suited for smartphones like the iPhone and Android phones.

This is NOT about making apps, but about adapting themes, templates, views and other odds and ends to make your site look nice – or at least be useful – on the small screen and potentially limited facilities.
This is not rocket science, but there are some pitfalls and some areas which require more work – and some where it's close to impossible to adapt look and function to the small screen – but in general it's easy to customize news, articles, discussions and much more to fit the limited screens on mobile devices.

Want to learn how the iPhone can easily communicate with Drupal, this session explains it all. Mobile Strategy is becoming critical to websites and companies who want to provide their users with more accessible and interactive information while on the go. Iphone Apps provide a great way for these organizations to adapt their content and features to an integrated mobile experience.

Mobile Strategy is becoming critical to websites and companies who want to provide their users with more accessible and interactive information while on the go. Iphone Apps provide a great way for these organizations to adapt their content and features to an integrated mobile experience.

With the rising popularity of these apps, we need a standard Drupal iPhone application or Library to begin working with when developing apps that reference Drupal content. Today's solution is a Library that leverages the power of Cocoa/obj-c and connects it to Drupal.
