The fragmented mobile landscape presents considerable challenges around application development. The growing number of OSs and mix of devices, form factors and standards have turned native application development into a cost-prohibitive strategy, resulting in a growing market of cross-platform solutions and mobile development tools.
But many solutions hold significant shortcomings. Be it proprietary interpreters, esoteric coding languages, pre-packaged apps, or limiting form-based IDEs, mobile developers are facing a tradeoff between cost and time to market and app capabilities.
Worklight breaks this paradigm with the most flexible mobile IDE in the market. Using the Worklight Studio, developers can:
•
Choose between web, hybrid or native code to build rich and secure mobile apps that meet user expectations
•
Use all native functionality modern devices offer from standard telephony to geo-location services and Augmented Reality
•
Optimize the application for its intended environment while maintaining the portability of the code across devices
•
Seamlessly integrate 3rd-party libraries and frameworks such as Sencha Touch and JQuery to increase coding efficiency
•
Access the native development, testing and debugging tools of device SDKs as provided by device manufacturers
•
Leverage the full potential that HTML5 has to offer with the increased security that Worklight provides
