Cross platforms - new kids on the block

This is our annual look in to the world of cross platform solutions for mobile apps. They promise allot but can they save development time and provide a similar experience to native apps.

We're going look at some of the new kids on the block as well as getting some commentary from the trenches of using cross platform in the real world. 4 concise talks on cross platform technologies and a QA panel discussion afterwards.
