The mobile ecosystem is under constant metamorphosis with new strategies and technologies ushering in even greater and exciting times for developers in 2012 and beyond. Vendors are pooling their strategies around their existing products and streamlining their OS around a leaner, meaner device lineup, with cloud playing an increasing role than ever before. HTML5 is growing in popularity and a number of cross-platform development tools based on HTML5 code authoring is providing new impetus to the mobile web of today. The two day agenda at the third edition of the annual Mobile Developer Summit (MDS), India's biggest multi-platform conference for mobile developers, addressed all these and more.

In its third year, Mobile Developer Summit (MDS) has established itself as the definitive summit for India's mobile developer ecosystem. It is the industry's first of-its-kind premier event that brings together thought leaders and experts from different aspects of the mobile ecosystem to share their passion, experience, grit and learning to mobile/web application developers and technologists, allowing for creative solutions to be generated, insider information to be found and personal contacts to be made, all essential ingredients to innovation and business.

With over a 2000 serious and qualified attendees, the best of independent voices and industry expert speakers and research (courtesy Saltmarchi) on the community's needs, the MDS agenda is unparalleled. The 2012 edition found resonance with mobile developers, software developers, mobile application developers, startups/entreprenuers, investors, mobile carriers, device manufacturers, mobile UI designers, web application developers, game developers, alpha males, digivores and geeks with an interest in building applications for the various mobile platforms. Delegates learned new strategies and technologies ushering in even greater and exciting times for developers in 2012 and beyond, met with the industry players and learned more about their offerings, provided them 1-1 feedback and built partnerships, and networked with their peers.
