Mosync is an open source, cross-platform mobile application development suite developed by Sweden based startup, Mobilesorcery. To get students to understand how powerful an application Mosync is, we were really happy to bring Aaron Chan, the regional director of Mobilesorcery for a quick Mosync 101 workshop on February 1st.

The workshop held in COM1/PL3 was attended by nearly twenty five students. Aaron talked about the benefits of using a cross-platform solution to mobile app development and how Mosync planned to expand to the rising Android and iPhone platforms soon.

With the help of a Twitter client demo, participants learnt how they could start developing quickly just with a free SDK download and by using the comprehensive online documentation and other resources on the site. Aaron also took some time-off to talk about the first-ever Mosync Developer Challenge and encouraged students to take part in the same.
