12. Rapid MVP are great for
Responsive Web

13. If you launch with iOS only, you
are ignoring 70% of the market
(or more)!

14. Don’t let this happen to you

15. Yes I am talking to you Snaptee!

17. But Wait, Mark Zuckerberg Said
HTML5 Sucks!

18. No He Didn’t

19. "When I'm introspec#ve about the last few years I think
the biggest mistake that we made, as a company, is be[ng
too much on HTML5 as opposed to na#ve... because it just
wasn't there. And it's not that HTML5 is bad. I'm actually, on
long-­‐term, really excited about it. One of the things that's
interes#ng is we actually have more people on a daily basis
using mobile Web Facebook than we have using our iOS or
Android apps combined. So mobile Web is a big thing for us."
-­‐-­‐Mark Zuckerberg, Disrupt SF, September 2012.

20. Facebook moved to Na#ve
from HTML5 when they had
$1b in profit.

21. When you have $1b in profit,
you can go na#ve. J
