Opportunities for mobile development are still growing at an accelerating rate!
Sencha Touch is one of the hidden frameworks for developing mobile apps for IOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), Android and BlackBerry.
The industry calls this cross-platform mobile development and it's all done with HTML5.
Sencha Touch is the closest you can get to a true mobile native experience, while leveraging your existing skills, yet the learning curve for this framework could be very steep and at times intimidating.

In this talk, you are going to learn:

- How to get started with Sencha Touch.
- The life cycle of a Sencha Touch app.
- How Sencha Touch uses models, views, controllers and stores.
- How to test your app on IOS devices.
- How to test your app on Android devices.
- The easiest and fastest way to be productive with Sencha Touch.
- And if time permits, how to package your mobile app for submission to the App Stores.
