In this episode of Blue Blazes, host Jonathan "J." Tower speaks with Mike Hartington from Ionic about the ins and outs of hybrid mobile app development. Mike, an expert in mobile development, gives listeners a great overview of why you would want to explore building your applications as hybrid apps instead of native apps.

A few of the topics covered include:

• How using a familiar set of web technologies to build your mobile apps drives efficiencies

• On-the-fly updates to apps

• Use cases like games where hybrid web apps aren't a good option
