What is Appcelerator®?

Appcelerator® is a development platform with an open source code designed to allow programmers to create native applications that operate in a wide range of devices. This platform is designed to enable the creation of these applications only with knowledge that the developer already has on web programming. The company's goal is to address a wide range of modern devices, from phones and personal data assistants to desktop, tablets and laptops. Applyceletor® allows Appcelerator® to allow developers to be once, and then use the platform to create versions that will natively run on multiple devices. The key difference between this approach and its predecessor is that it creates more separate applications for each environment than a framework for more work. Therefore, the knowledge of programming needed to create applications with a platform is uncomfortable than what is needed to create internet applications. However, the concept is not only to create one version of the application,which works on several operating systems. Instead, Appcelerator® creates an application version for each targeted device. As a result, the final product will work not only in the operating system for iPhone® or iPad®, and for the Android® phone, but will do so as separate applications adapted to each device.

This type of approach can provide several advantages to small developers. Otherwise, develop an application that would work smoothly on more than one device can be a difficult challenge for a small or independent programmer. Depending on targeted devices, the development of integrated applications may require knowledge of several programming languages ​​Agrity multiple operating systems. In addition to such initial obstacles, the human clock, testing, tuning and reworking the application also for the only operating system, which is likely to be a big investment of time.

For larger developers and companies, savings of this kind of approach may not be no less significant. The need to create only one version of each application to service multiple devices can release the workforce and increase overall productivity. This leaves the potential for investing male clocks in further research and development of other applications or to improve the primary application that would not have been possible to limit time or budget.

Appcelerator® also aims to improve the situation for application users. This can be achieved by enabling applications that could otherwise have less functions or less functionality to create Richer experience due to native programming. In addition, this can be realized through a higher number of applications on the market that would be previously limited to specific operating systems, but now work in multiple formats and devices.
