On Wednesday February 16th, I did a presentation at Malmö Högskola on the topic of HTML5, CSS3 and Phonegap. Most attendees were students from the cool education "Media production and process design". Some of these students are going to be doing some hands-on web development in the future, but I am sure that almost all are going to be involved in web and mobile web strategies at some point. I tried to find a good balance between tech talk and mobile web strategies like progressive enhancement, graceful degradation, feature and cost comparison between native apps and Phonegap apps. We ended the session with a discussion about copying code on the Internet and different open source licenses.
