3. Drupal Mobility Straw Poll
1. Is mobility important to your clients or organization in conjunction
with Drupal?
2. Is there ever a need for native mobile apps? What about Digital
Experience Management?
3. Have you lost business to Adobe’s CQ5/Phonegap (or similar)? Or to
another dev shop that offered integrated web and mobile services?
– We certainly have. On multiple occasions.
4. If you could easily deliver Drupal-driven mobile apps, what would
that be worth to you?
– How to deal with the “fuller” stack developer problem?
4. A Case for Native Apps

full-‐stack
developer
problem
just
got
fuller
–
compounded
by
another
order
of
magnitude.
Cross-‐plaSorm
mobile
development
today
for
enterprise
workflows
is
hard,
Dme-‐consuming
and
expensive.
The Enterprise Mobility Challenge
Development tools for native mobile apps are not
deeply integrated with enterprise information
systems
At the same time new devices such as Google
Glass and Smart Watch are proliferating.

16. Drupal + m2Serve Vs. Others
m2Serve is visual, open, deeply integrated, supports more
device categories and does not force a choice between
hybrid versus native.
Current
solu3ons
fall
short:
We
solve:
• Textual
and
not
visual
development
(IBM,
PhoneGap,
Xamarin)
• Visual:
drag-‐and-‐drop
development
and
deployment.
• Template-‐based,
not
extensible
(Appery)
• Open:
Fully
customizable
and
extensible
• Shallow
enterprise
integraDon
(All)
• Contextual:
integraDon
with
enterprise
back-‐end
systems
• No
support
beyond
phones
and
tablets
(All)
• Pervasive:
Support
for
devices
beyond
mobile
phones
and
tablets
• Only
Hybrid/HTML5/CSS
(IBM,
PhoneGap,
Appery)
• Comprehensive:
True

23. Get Started: Become Fuller Stack
1. Extensions to the Drupal Web Services Module:
– https://www.drupal.org/project/m2serve_connector
– Ignore the blah-blah on the page:
• This module extends Drupal Web Services by automating a few tasks
such as generating custom web services for each content type or views.
• You don’t need the m2Serve studio to leverage this module for your
Drupal-as-a-Service web application – use it with your favorite mobile
dev tool, or anything that needs to consume WS APIs.
2. www.m2Serve.com ! click on “Try Now”
– Register.
– You’ll get provisioned.
• No charge for everyone here for the next 6 months.
– You’re off to the races!
24. Drupal has been leveraged as an app server in many many situations.
Drupal as an App Server | Drupal-as-a-Service | Headless Drupal |
Drupal + m2Serve lets you build and deploy apps for any Enterprise or
Cloud platform within days instead of months.
m2Serve is already the Visual IDE for Appcelerator, with more to
follow.
Together we can help make Drupal become the market leader for full-
stack enterprise application development and deployment platforms
that integrate mobile and web..
