Build Once, Run Anywhere, No Objective C Required - Chris Fleck - VP of Solutions Development, Citrix Systems

Traditionally developers have been faced with the dilemma of writing native apps for iPhone, Winmo, Blackberry, Symbian and soon Android or dumbing down the app to a simple web app that works on the least capable browser. This session will present an alternative solution that allows Windows apps to run on servers in the datacenter and be delivered remotely to multiple users with any device including the iPhone. Aside from enabling existing company apps, new apps can be easily developed on a variety of platforms yet look and feel like native iPhone apps. Learn How.
