Three of our Computer Science and Media students developed a new open-source framework for mobile web application development as part of their Master-thesis projects (supervised by Volker Hahn, CEO of M-Way Solutions and me). Afterwards, two of them founded a new start-up called Panacoda (Panacoda website) in order to improve the framework and provide support and services.
They seem to make good progress and just released version 1.0 of their framework.
Congratulations! Keep up the good work!
