Abstract

When using standard web technologies to develop web applications, a big constraint is the context in which the application should run. In particular the mobile context is very different from the desktop one even in the design of web applications. Many aspects should be taken into consideration related to hardware and software constraints to which every mobile device is subjected. The paper describes the choice of adopting standard web technologies in developing an application for the mobile framework and specifically the decision to use a standard scripting language such as ECMAScript for developing an application running within a browser environment devoted to mobile devices. This is the result of the analysis of issues and problems related to development in the mobile context.
