Charles Jolley interviewed at Velocity 2011
summary
SproutCore builds apps as JS/HTML/CSS that can run three ways: in-browser, as a home screen web application on iOS (a separate webview mode), or packaged with PhoneGap and shipped via app stores. Claim: using the same codebase lets sites link users from m.dot pages to installed apps, cutting mobile latency by preinstalling assets. Reality: manifest/app cache is widely implemented but spec and edge cases confuse developers, so SproutCore 2.0 supplies standalone build tools that auto-generate correct app caching manifests.
