DESCRIPTION

Let's face it, not everyone has the luxury of starting their app from scratch and being able to build it for the multiple devices and contexts that it needs to be in, to successfully reach their users. Most companies have found themselves having to step back and look at how they can turn their desktop designed experience into a mobile application. Erik Loehfelm discusses his experiences in turning desktop apps into mobile magic. He will also review the options out there for peeling back the layers of complexity built into desktop-based services, and how to successfully transition those into a mobile experiences.
