Carat 2.0 is a Software Engineering project with the goal of improving the mobile experience of Carat.
We are using Phonegap to build the User Interface with Javascript, HTML5 and CSS3; multi-platform in mind. Native Java is mainly used for fetching data using Apache Thrift, while making use of pre-existing code snippets.
