Question: How would you define Mobile First? How does it fit into the developer & cloud environment?

Mobile First is a strategy for organizations that recognizes that mobile today is primary, and to adopt transformational mobile enterprise solutions to take advantage of the second wave of mobile.

Having less that 5 function approach for an App. Solving only one purpose and doing that Good within the small real-estate.

if dev right for mobile it will work across multiple channels. It's mobile first, not mobile only

MobileFirst developers have the freedom to use cloud and/or on-prem resources, and develop native or hybrid mobile apps.

@CrowdDr great point there is a distinction between web vs mobile for sure; as a developer what are the key issues

The next wave of mobile apps will integrate wearables - watches, glasses, belt buckles and shoelaces.

Web apps allow developers to target more devices, but native mobile apps can take advantage of the latest cool device capabilities - so there is a trade-off between dev productivity and app uniqueness.
