Description:

The responsiveness of Web and hybrid mobile apps is sometimes described as sluggish compared to native apps. Often, this is because the developer has bound event handlers to mouse events rather than touch events. By taking advantage of the touch events exposed by modern mobile devices, developers can potentially shave hundreds of milliseconds off of each user interaction, as well as enable gesture interactions that would not normally be available in an HTML context.

What will be covered?

• One-finger events
• Two-finger events
• Multi-touch events
• Gesture events

Who is this webcast for?

This webcast is for front-end developers who are interested in creating web or hybrid mobile apps. Intermediate to advanced understanding of JavaScript is recommended.
