Steve has worked with Openshift before or may still be working in that space. He wants to understand how to add a mobile perspective to applications running inside Openshift. He may not have a vast amount of mobile app development experience but wants a mobile perspective without having to become a fully fledged Mobile Application Developer.

Install Backend Steve starts up the AeroGear service container 5 "This is familiar stuff to me, though I need to figure out how to make my own app talk to the Push Server, but at least it's something I've done before in other projects."
Install Mobile SDK Steve needs to choose which mobile platforms to target and needs to install the SDK to get going 2 "I want Android and IOS eventually, but I will first go with Android so I can test this on my phone. This is something I am not familiar with. Does this work with the IDE I am using for backend stuff?How do I test the app in my phone? Does this step install both the mobile OS SDK and the AeroGear libraries?
