Lessons from the Dynamic Enterprise Pega Mobile App
This session explains why we chose Sencha Touch over other frameworks and how we implemented a very dynamic and configurable enterprise mobile app. After briefly presenting the results of our prototypes in other frameworks, we will focus on the programming techniques used in our app. We explain how we architected and implemented JSON data, navigation, pinned toolbar, UI that redresses to phone and tablet (multi-device implementation techniques), and error handling - all using the Sencha MVC architecture. For achieving extreme configurability, we created the “UI JSON” for screens on the server using xtypes in Sencha Touch. Finally, we will cover some of the Sencha Touch 2 considerations and migration issues.
