I don't think this is meant to replace the WiFi. Merely provide some steady internet connection outside the conference.

Nah, just the low market share. And personal gripe.

A fraction of what AppStore revenue is -- even though they have more market share. :-(

Please don't get me started on Android. :-) And as mentioned in a previous comment, this is mostly about Mobile HTML5. I am also keeping my fingers crossed for iOS6! I work on Pocket Island, at wooga.

> Maybe your article should be titled "Writing games in HTML5 for Mobile Devices is not ready". I strongly agree with that! I feel like it's not been made clear enough. I work on Pocket Island, at wooga.

We did use offline caching aggressively when we launched with Facebook. Most of that logic has been removed, though, when we went the PhoneGap route. Also, https://speakerdeck.com/u/jaffathecake/p/application-cache-d... I work on Pocket I

You are right. The slides are very vague, I know -- and I'm working on that. I do talk a lot about loading assets and logic and how hard it is to actually get stuff across in a nice way. I never say go pure javascript. What I say is that yo

Then, in the spirit of your last comment, for making pretty games on mobile devices, stick to native for now. I work on Pocket Island, at wooga.

The problem was getting fresh content (missions, better assets, what have you) to the user. If you go with long autonomy, you get a fairly static game which you can update in big jumps. If you go with fast updates, you sometimes delay the s

This is also a big problem we have encountered, and I've even summed up most of the workarounds and hacks you have to employ to gain speed. https://speakerdeck.com/u/hdragomir/p/fast-mobile-uis It's still a long way to go from there, thou

wooga chose to focus on iOS because of the less fragmentation. I work on Pocket Island, at wooga.

the thing that stuck out was their request to access email, not just contacts. That was a bit odd so I didn't grant access.

Pretty much all I say applies to iOS and Android. It's just that Android has a lot of other hidden "gems"

I've played with it today and the joy I admittedly feel was quite similar to what I felt when coding LISP. However, I only coded LISP in academia and would not feel comfortable at all using it in a live environment. For now, I see DART as a

I remember my days as a CS student. The single most mind-opening course I took was functional programming, where I learned LISP and Prolog. That knowledge today is crucial as it deeply changed my mindset when tackling most any problem.

I'm the other kind. I rarely ask questions, and when I do, I end up giving the best answer anyway. But you should not be afraid to answer questions.

It depends. I'm sure the people building YouTube thought it was a pretty dumb and costly idea. You could tell your client you don't think their project would take off, but you never know unless and until you try. Also, why not give some gui

Nope. Our failovers are on self hosted servers, where the core of each app lives anyway.

So long as you DO refactor when you're done. I sometimes write a mess, too -- especially with CSS -- but in the end it's all clean and wrinkle free.

And music's not the only industry. I'm from Romania, and we're literally begging Apple and Microsoft to take our money. To no avail. As for the buying the CD and torrenting the MP3`s in the meanwhile, I do the same thing and the CD just end
