1. PhoneGap Essentials (Holly Schinsky)
   In this workshop we'll learn the essential building blocks needed for building apps with PhoneGap while actually building a fully functioning app. Some concepts we'll cover include:
   Common mobile app development paradigms (navigation, view stacks)

• Mobile UI design patterns (flat vs. material design)
• Performance tips
• App debugging
• App configuration (preferences, permissions, icons/splash screens)
• Using plugins

1. Plugins are Everything, and Everything is a Plugin! (Jesse MacFadyen)
   Jesse has been writing PhoneGap plugins since before there were plugins. In this deep dive workshop Jesse will cover all the requirements of making great plugins, from conception to testing to publishing. He will also share some secrets from his bag'o'tricks and demonstrate some interesting uses for plugins you may not have thought of. Come ready to build!
2. Embedding PhoneGap in a native app (Anis Kadri and Eddy Verbruggen)
   Many developers choose to build native navigation and transitions into their apps but use webviews for the main content, allowing them to realize a large cost and time savings while making their app available to a wider range of users quickly. This approach also provides the ability to push timely updates without app store approval hassles. With this model, only a small native code-base needs to be maintained per platform, and it’s typically the static elements of the app rather than the main content, thus more manageable.
3. Workshop: PhoneGap Build (Ryan Willoughby)
   Let the people who work on PhoneGap Build show you how to use the service efficiently, hands on. You'll learn how to build a simple cross-platform mobile app with Build, how to add and use plugins, and how to sign your apps for publishing to app stores, all while avoiding platform SDKs. We'll welcome questions, feature requests and feedback for improving the service.
4. App Privacy and Security for PhoneGap Developers (Steve Gill)
   Our mobile devices are rich targets packed full of sensors, and ripe for the harvesting of personal information. All too often, developers on deadlines leave security and privacy concerns until the last minute, or don’t get around to them at all. This workshop will show not only the importance of security and privacy, but some basic steps we as developers can take to ensure our apps are a safe place for our users (not to mention keeping the app safe from those same users). From avoiding XSS, understanding the whitelist and CSP, to ensuring that what data we do collect is kept safe. This workshop will give you a better understanding of how to ensure privacy and security are a part of your app from day one.
5. PhoneGap Push Notifications (Simon MacDonald)
   In this workshop we'll walk through adding push notification capabilities to your application. You'll learn how to set up a Google Cloud Messaging project for Android notifications and adding push capabilities to your iOS certificate and provisioning profiles. You'll gain an understanding of how to register with your remote push service and handle incoming notifications. Advanced topics will include how to add action buttons, responding to silent push notifications and testing using node.js.
6. App Submission (Shazron Abdullah)
   This workshop will cover best practices when submitting an app
7. Augmented reality apps with PhoneGap (Andreas Schacherbauer)
   Abstract: In this workshop we will what augmented reality has to offer and how to integrate AR functionality into your PhoneGap/Cordova app. We will have a look how to create AR experiences using Wikitude's JavaScript API.

• 8:30am-9:00am - Registration and breakfast
• 9:00am-9:15am – Michael Brooks... “PhoneGap kick off”
• 9:15am-9:50am – Eric Alli. .“Mind the Gap: Supercharge your PhoneGap workflow”
  Developing a complex and sustainable PhoneGap app can present many challenges. As your app grows, a seamless development workflow is crucial. Can you efficiently deploy and test in different environments? What are your pain points when implementing new functionality? How can you organize all the facets of your app with minimal effort?

Mind the gap focuses on some of the ways you can create a development workflow that automates these inefficiencies, boosts scalability and most of all, preserves developer sanity.

• 9:50am-10:10am – Martin Poschenrieder... “Automated App Testing: A pain or cure?”
  At testmunk we have been working with many popular apps by helping them ship better apps faster. We have automated testing for various Phonegap/Cordova apps (as well as others), allowing for quick detection of layout issues and crashes.

In this talk I'd like to touch on some of the testing challenges developers/QAs come across due to today’s large device and OS fragmentation, and how automated testing can ease some of these issues.

I will also show some examples of how developers can quickly set up their own automated tests and run them on a large set of devices

• 10:10am-10:30am – Shawn Jansepar and Loki Meyburg (Mobify) “Finding the sweet spot - blending the best of native and web”
  Choose the best technology for the job. Too often projects begin as hybrid apps, but switch to native for performance reasons. But it’s almost never the case that all features of your app need to be fully native. Today, many apps such as Amazon, Basecamp, Yelp and more take a blended approach. We'll guide you through case studies of how we build high performance apps that blend the best of native and web and highlight lessons we've learned along the way.
• 10:30am-10:40am – BREAK
• 10:40am-11:00 – Mike Hartington (Ionic). . . . . “Ionic: Version 2 and Beyond”
  “Ionic 1.0 has enabled many web developers to become mobile app developers. With the arrival of Angular 2 and its changes, and with ES6 being finalized, development has been improved yet again. How will that impact Ionic? In this session, we’ll compare Ionic 1 and Ionic 2 and go over what we've learned, what improvements we're making to Ionic, and how easy it will be to develop apps with Ionic 2.”
• 11:00am-11:25am – Dean Haddock. . . . . . “The Story of an App: How StoryCorps Built and Launched the StoryCorps.me Beta Platform and What We've Learned So Far”
  Dean Haddock shares the story of the StoryCorps app, from early prototypes to the TED Prize and beyond.
• 11:25am-12:05pm – Alex Blom. . . . “PhoneGap Applications with Ember: Lessons learned”
  The benefits of hybrid applications are obvious (less code, simpler code, iterate faster). Developers often make quick pace, boot their app and then hit a wall trying to make it 'feel native'.

This talk will discuss lessons learned & optimization techniques from having built many apps with Ember & phonegap.

While this talk uses Ember & Ember packages, the tools and techniques discussed generically apply to any Phonegap application.
12:05pm-12:25pm – Masahiro Tanaka (Asial Corporation)... “Using Monaca Cloud to enhance Cordova development”

• 12:25pm-1:15pm – LUNCH
• 1:15pm-1:35pm – Ryan J. Salva (Microsoft Visual Studio)
• 1:35pm-2:15pm – Jed Watson
• 2:15pm-2:35pm – Ray Camden. . . . . . . . . . . . “When the heck is 4/8/2016?”
  This talk will cover basic internationalization, globalization issues with Cordova apps. I'll talk about the Globalization plugin (and how to work around the async nature of the plugin), the Intl class, and other options. Also, I'll discuss why you should give a damn as a developer.
• 2:35pm-2:55pm – Rangle.io
• 2:55pm-3:25pm – Bruce Lefebvre. . . . . . . . . . . . “Making Enterprise Sh_t”
  Does the idea of writing enterprise software conjure up images of bland user interfaces, XML-based configuration, and IE8 compatibility? The folks on Adobe’s Experience Manager Apps team have been working hard at avoiding these stereotypes, while building a platform for delivering and managing mobile apps for enterprise customers. This talk will provide a glimpse into the following:
  What are the perks of including a content management system in my app dev arsenal?
  Which tools are available for me to take full advantage of Adobe’s Marketing Cloud solutions?
  As a developer, what open source goodness can I try out today?
• 3:25pm-3:45pm – Crosswalk
• 3:45pm-4:00pm – BREAK
• 4:00pm-4:30pm – Ryan Hanna. . .“Build and Market Your App: Small Team Success”
  This talk will provide the tools and methodologies to help any solo developer or small team build and then market their app to ensure it has the best chance for success.

We'll take a transparent look at the early beginnings of Sworkit to where it is now. From a single developer to a team of 10 employees, and from 10 downloads to 10 million. This talk will be a combination of the development and marketing lessons learned and implemented along the way.

• 4:30pm-5:10pm – Renee Lance. . .”Generate for AEM and PhoneGap: Design Evolution 3.0 - D2W”
  Taking design to the digital environment has traditionally been time consuming, resource intensive and something designers and developers have been challenged with since the inception of designing for the web. So what if we had the ability to take design compositions from within Photoshop or Illustrator (or any other design tool if there really is any other) and directly turn them into and app, website or email marketing with a one button click?
  Something that seems too good to be true doesn’t it, well maybe not. This talk will show new Adobe innovation still in the labs, which look at streamlining workflows and rapid prototyping for App creation with Adobe AEM and PhoneGap.
• 5:10pm-5:30pm – Shazron Abdullah... "Loading native code (plugins) dynamically for the enterprise"
  Hot-code reload for html/css/js is so 2015, everyone can do it. You probably thought you couldn't hot-reload plugin native code, well you were wrong! I'll show you how (and maybe bake a cake).
• 5:30pm 5:50pm – TJ VanToll (Telerik). . . . “Session: Cordova Plugin Roundup”
  In last few years Cordova plugins have become the cornerstone of many high-quality Cordova and PhoneGap applications. In just the last year, we at Telerik have grown our curated Cordova plugins marketplace from small handful of plugins to now 65 and counting. In this talk you’ll learn about the latest greatest in the Cordova plugin world, including plugins for the Apple Watch, Mapbox maps, and a whole lot more.
• 6:00pm-8:00pm – Pub mixer

Tim Lancina (Ionic) - 10:15am-10:35am on conference agenda

Handling the keyboard in hybrid applications

Many developers encounter problems with the keyboard while building apps, regardless of the platform they're targeting. Whether it's covering content at the bottom of the screen or messing up your app's layout as the browser tries to bring focused elements into view, getting the keyboard to interact nicely with your content, while still having good UX, can be a challenge. This talk will outline some of the problems specific to handling the keyboard in hybrid apps and go over the different approaches to solving those problems.

http://pgday.phonegap.com/us2016/speaker/hollyschinsky/

In this workshop we'll walk through creating an app from start to finish. Throughout the process we'll gain an understanding of:

• Common mobile app development paradigms (navigation, view stacks)
• Popular mobile framework options
• Mobile UI design patterns (flat vs. material design)
• Performance tips
• App configuration (preferences, permissions, icons/splashscreens)
  And more!

Mobify Workshop: "Build the Amazon App"

A workshop on quickly building a hybrid app with feature parity to Amazon's app with a mix of native and web interfaces

1. Title: Supercharge your Hybrid Apps with Microservices for Mobile

Abstract: In this hands-on session, we will first build a simple Cordova based mobile app using the barcode scanner plugin. Then, we’ll build a microservice written in Node.js to retrieve some hard-to-get data.
Along the way, we’ll explore the benefits of this approach, and why hybrid mobile apps are really just an extension of microservices to the client side. Participants only need to bring a laptop with a modern web browser, and will leave the session primed with practical experience building microservices for their mobile apps.

Update description here: http://pgday.phonegap.com/us2016/speaker/martinposchenrieder

To this: You want to ship an app you can be proud of, without bugs or defects. You want it delivered quickly. However, the testing process is looked at as simply a ‘necessary evil’ and there is never enough time in the day to test everything manually. Automated testing claims to be the answer but you’ve found
it ‘hard to set up’ and ‘difficult to maintain’. Is going back to pure manual testing the answer? Hiring more resources? What is the right balance between manual and automated testing? Can I make automated testing easier? What are some of the current testing trends? From my experience working with many small and large companies, I hope to share my observations, and answer some of these questions.

Embedding Natively: The Hybrid Sweet Spot

Many developers choose to build native navigation and transitions into their apps but use webviews for the main content, allowing them to realize a large cost and time savings while making their app available to a wider range of users quickly. This approach also provides the ability to push timely updates without app store approval hassles. With this model, only a small native code-base needs to be maintained per platform, and it’s typically the static elements of the app rather than the main content, thus more manageable.

1. Jed's talk title "PhoneGap and React.js"
   Description: React.js has been changing the way web developers build user interfaces for the web, but what about hybrid mobile apps, where jQuery Mobile and Angular remain the most popular frameworks? In this talk Jed will review the advantages and challenges of React for mobile, why it is an exciting framework to use, and how to integrate the React ecosystem into your development workflow.
2. Jed's bio: Jed is a founder of Thinkmill, a web and mobile app development agency in Sydney, and has been writing JavaScript since IE6 was new and exciting. A prolific open source contributor, Jed is the driving force behind KeystoneJS - the node.js content management platform - and several major React.js libraries including Elemental UI and TouchstoneJS, which is a UI Framework for hybrid mobile apps.

We're changing things up this year for PhoneGap Day EUers and having 2 separate tracks of workshops with a "choose your own adventure" theme. We'll have great content running all day in two different rooms so you can pick and choose what topics you'd like to get some hands-on experience with. The PhoneGap team and other community experts will be running workshops on everything from plugin development to embeddable webviews.

8:30am-9:00am - Registration and breakfast
9:00am-9:15am – Simon MacDonald . . . . . . . . . . . . . . “PhoneGap Kickoff”
9:15am-9:55am – Kerri Shotts . . . . . . . . . . . . “Common PhoneGap Gotchas”
Your users deserve a great experience when they launch your app! Be sure to avoid these common gotchas! The talk would focus on various practices that one should use to avoid a poor user experience, including responding to device events, slow/fast taps, providing affordances, faster animations, designing responsively, a quick touch on security, and also how to handle network connectivity (or lack thereof).
9:55am-10:15am – Denis Radin . . . “Do we still need a server? P2P web applications distribution on mobile landscape”
WebRTC becomes first class citizen on web platform and opens us vast sea of possibilities. P2P applications distribution is one of them which can reduce operational costs (by reducing server load and latency) and decentralize access to web content by building self maintainable CDN of user`s devices. So what should we expect from this technology and how big is impact of using P2P distributed content for mobile web world?

11:20am-11:40am – Bruce Lefebvre . . . . . . . . . “Quantifiable performance”
It can be difficult to pinpoint exactly when that lightning fast, yet smooth as silk app of yours started showing it's first signs of jank. First a dropped frame, next a choppy animation.. In this talk we'll introduce tools and processes that you can use today to start metering the performance of your app in key scenarios, helping you identify issues before your users do. We'll get there with the help of Appium, wd, browser-perf, and perfjankie.
11:40am-12:00pm - Martijn Walraven . . . . . . . “Progressive enhancement for mobile apps: exploring the continuum between Cordova and React Native”
Rather than looking at Cordova and React Native as two separate technologies that mobile developers have to choose between, these approaches can be seen as part of a continuum that allows for progressive enhancement. It should be possible to build apps from a shared codebase that work out of the box on both desktop and mobile devices, but that can be iterated on to get you all the way to a fully native user experience for the parts where this makes sense.

The React programming model is especially suited for this, both because of its focus on composability, and because it has shown that a JavaScript UI framework does not have to be dependent on the DOM. This talk will explore how this model makes it possible to reuse components between web and native platforms, and may even allow for ways to seamlessly mix native views and web elements within a single component tree. It will also discuss ongoing work on establishing a common API surface for accessing device-native features.
12:00pm-12:20pm – Nick Van Weerdenburg (Rangle) . . . “Fixing Continuous Delivery for Mobile”
Manual builds and app store approval lags make it near impossible to have an effective mobile continuous delivery process. In turn, this hurts our attempts to be truly Agile with our mobile projects. The solution? Per-pull request deployment through CircleCI, CodePush and a custom CodePush loader in your app. This enables hands-free, automated deployment from commit to a user device, radically changing your testing, validation, and your user feedback processes.

12:20pm-1:20pm – LUNCH

1:20pm-2:00pm - Remy Sharp . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ”The state of the gap”
PhoneGap is a polyfill, and the ultimate purpose of PhoneGap is to cease to exist" – Brian LeRoux, SPACELORD!1!! at Adobe, 2012.

Clearly PhoneGap, and Cordova are still required today, but when is it really needed? Did the web ever catch up? Do we always need to turn to a PhoneGap shell for all our solutions?
2:00pm-2:20pm - Masa Tanaka (Monaca) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . “TBD”
2:20pm-2:40pm - Sani Yusuf . . ”Hybrid Apps Powering African Mobile Solutions”
With one of the youngest and fast growing populations around, it is a great opportunity to shine a light on how developers in the developing world (Africa) are changing the world with Hybrid solutions. This talk was inspired by months travelling in Africa meeting real developers using Hybrid technologies. This talk will also highlight some of the goodness they are doing and also discuss some challenges faced by these innovators like slower internet connections & supporting legacy mobile devices.
2:40pm-2:55pm - Brett Rudd . . . . . . . . . . . . “What's new with PhoneGap Build”

3:45pm-4:05pm – Niels Leenheer . . . . . . . “Making apps for the big screen”
When PhoneGap was first released, its goal was to become obsolete. On mobile that never happened. However, if you want to create an app for a Smart TV, set-top box or game console, you will find web apps are almost always natively supported. And in many cases it is the only way to build apps. This talk will focus on the different platforms that are out there, the SDKs that you can use, and the practical problems you are going to encounter when you port your apps to the big screen.
4:05pm-4:25pm – Raphael Kubo Da Costa (Crosswalk) . . “Crosswalk Project Empowers PhoneGap apps”
The Crosswalk Project web runtime gives web applications a predictable environment to run in with world class performance. Use new, cutting-edge, or experimental APIs and extensions and deploy complex web applications with confidence. This sessions explores how Crosswalk solves fragmentation challenges across the full range of target mobile devices, improves web app performance, and opens up opportunities to use new APIs for 3D cameras, WebVR, and more. Adding the Crosswalk pluggable webview has never been easier. So much goodness for so little work!
4:25pm-5:05pm - Dean Haddock . . . . . . . . . . “Case Study: StoryCorps app”
5:05pm-5:20pm - Shazron Abdullah . . . . . . . . . . . . . “Closing Remarks”

4:30pm-5:00pm – Renee Lance. . .”Generate for AEM and PhoneGap: Design Evolution 3.0 - D2W”
Taking design to the digital environment has traditionally been time consuming, resource intensive and something designers and developers have been challenged with since the inception of designing for the web. So what if we had the ability to take design compositions from within Photoshop or Illustrator (or any other design tool if there really is any other) and directly turn them into and app, website or email marketing with a one button click?
Something that seems too good to be true doesn’t it, well maybe not. This talk will show new Adobe innovation still in the labs, which look at streamlining workflows and rapid prototyping for App creation with Adobe AEM and PhoneGap.
5:00pm-5:20pm – Shazron Abdullah. . .”Loading native code (plugins) dynamically for the enterprise”
Hot-code reload for html/css/js is so 2015, everyone can do it. You probably thought you couldn't hot-reload plugin native code, well you were wrong! I'll show you how (and maybe bake a cake).

Eddy Verbruggen - ”Comparing Dutch Banking App Architectures”
Let's be honest. Cordova doesn't immediately come to mind when you want to build an app used daily by millions of users to manage their bank accounts. However, there may be good reasons to do so and in this session we'll explore the why and how of 3 recent approaches medium and large Dutch banks have taken.
I'll share my first-hand experience and opinion about these approaches and extract a few tips and tricks that can be applied to Cordova apps in general.

Talk Title: Fixing Continuous Delivery for Mobile.

Talk Description: Manual builds and app store approval lags make it near impossible to have an effective mobile continuous delivery process. In turn, this hurts our attempts to be truly Agile with our mobile projects.

The solution? Per-pull request deployment through CircleCI, CodePush and a custom CodePush loader in your app. This enables hands-free, automated deployment from commit to a user device, radically changing your testing, validation, and your user feedback processes.
