Mobile development is complex because its ecosystem is complex. Unlike developing for a small set of platforms, Mobile development platforms sport a number of versions, with each version adding new functionality and fixes, besides introducing platform fragmentation that makes it even more complex for app developers. As the interest in mobile applications surge, so has the number of app stores - from platform/OS providers, handset manufacturers and mobile network operators, to some devices even presenting consumers with multiple stores. The app store is fast becoming the portal, deck or home page of the smartphone era, a place to go to discover new things. This is also posing a challenge for developers - which stores to publish in and how to get their apps discovered.

Following a hugely successful 2010 edition, Saltmarch Media is announcing a bigger two day summit for the Mobile Developer ecosystem in 2011 that will broadly cover topics from the following tracks:

that will bring together thought leaders and experts from different aspects of the mobile ecosystem to share their passion, experience, grit and learning to a gathering of over a 1000 mobile/web application developers and technologists. Whether experienced or new developers, or industry experts and decision makers, all share the floor to debate, share and rethink the world of mobile.

Mobile Developer Summit 2011 will feature a convergence of thousands of developers, technologists and industry players from the mobile and web developer communities. Startups, investors, mobile carriers and device manufacturers will benefit from better understanding the latest technologies that will define the mobile market of tomorrow.
