Kap IT@MAX 09 with OpenPlug
Extend your Flex applications to the mobile space with Elips Studio 3.0
The extension of your entreprise applications to mobile can bring great opportunities such as tracking your business activity anywhere at any moment.
However, programming for mobile devices is becoming harder and harder, thanks to the hundreds of handhelds and smartphones available on the market : Many of them are running on various OS, making development, maintenance and testing complex, expensive and recquiring most of the time a strong expertise.
Kap IT is glad to announce its first steps with Elips, a Flex2Mobile solution made by OpenPlug :
With Elips, you can now easily port your flex application to a mobile device without any other development knowledge.
Elips is a cross compiler capable of creating executable code for your mobile OS based on a Flex application source code.
Thus, Elips reduces the gap between developing an application for the mobile and for the web/desktop :
- No need to re-build your application from the ground up.
- Reuse the business logic of an existing Flex app
- Reuse your Flex knowledge
First Steps With Elips Studio 3.0
At Kap IT, we used Elips to build ConfluenceMobile, a mobile extension for ConfluenceDesktop, our widget solution for Confluence enterprise wiki.
It only took a few days to make ConfluenceMobile working on a HTC Touch Diamond:
- Installing Elips Studio, an extension to Flex Builder/Eclipse
- Changing the visual and user experience to make it mobile friendly (Basically, keeping the UI simple and small screen compatible)
- Integrating the existing business logic (Services calls, parsing, model updates,...)
Export a CAB archive from Flex Builder, and voilà, you get a nice app on your mobile that allows you to follow and interact with your entreprise business from anywhere.
We recorded a screencast of ConfluenceMobile running on a Windows Mobile emulator.
See Elips in action at Adobe MAX next week!
For those who plan to attend MAX in Los Angeles next week, OpenPlug will give an overview of the development workflow, from design in Flex Builder to application execution on several devices. The session will take place on tuesday from 4:30pm to 5:30pm. We hope to see you there!
