From the abstract: “The “Save to Homescreen” feature on Apple’s iOS packs a lot more punch than you may realize. Web Apps are a powerful way to gain more control over a web experience, while providing all of the power of Mobile Safari. Web Apps can have their own icon, a custom startup screen, look and function like native apps, can run offline, store local data, and do not need to be submitted to the iTunes store!

We’ll also look at implementing your web app experiences in other technologies and platforms, such as converting them to native apps for multiple platforms, using them in digital magazines and iBooks, and even using them on Android devices.”
