Forrester recently released a report entitled "Building Mobile Apps? Start With Web; Move to Hybrid," to help developers answer the question of where to start with mobile development.
We've written about this topic a lot in the last year -- we've discussed compiler tools that wrap native code in HTML5, like SenchaTouch, and we've also discussed building applications for the individual platforms to give designers and developers more control over what they are creating.
At the end of the day it really comes down what you're willing, and able, to support as a development team.
Can you maintain multiple applications? Or is it more feasible for you to create one "mobile" version and then build out from there?
What do you think will be the trend for mobile development in 2012? Share your ideas, and best practices, with us.
