5app Showcase Multi-platform App Toolkit That Enables Mobile Enterprise App Development at Apps World 2012
LONDON, September 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Dr Tim King describes the mobile app development market as the new Wild
West -
Dr Tim King, Chief Technology Officer and founder of new technology start-up 5app
http://5app.co.uk is set to appear at Apps World 2012
[http://www.5app.co.uk/events/apps-world-2012 ] at 11:20am, October 3, London Earls Court
2. Tim King will be speaking at the Start-up session in the Developer Zone entitled,
"Mobile app development is the new Wild West - beware the cowboys!"
Tim King will be discussing mobile enterprise app development
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/mobile-enterprise-app-development ] and the problems
software developers face when writing multi-platform apps
[http://www.5app.co.uk/business/multi-platform-app ] which require reliable data
communications. He will explain the need for caution in selecting your development
environment and some of the potential pitfalls for the unwary.
Tim King, is a veteran of the technology market; writing one of the world's first
relational database management systems as part of his Ph.D., then going on to write the
operating system AmigaDOS for the Commodore Amiga.
Apps World 2012 provides a great platform for 5app to introduce the industry to the
5app Toolkit, enabling business software developers to build multi-platform apps that will
communicate reliably, even when reception is intermittent. Applications are written only
once and the same version will work on all types of smartphones and tablets.
Tim King, CTO of 5app, comments, "The market for mobile enterprise app development is
growing exponentially, it's the new Wild West and it's very difficult to know which
technologies you can trust. It's particularly difficult when an enterprise wants to cover
a wide range of mobile phones as they all use different versions of multiple operating
systems."
Tim King continues, "There are also some hidden issues. Developers who are used to
writing apps that assume a device will have a constant and stable WAN or LAN connection
are very often caught unawares by the poor connectivity issues experienced with mobile
phones. At Apps World 2012, I will be explaining how these issues can be addressed using
5app's unique software development system."
5app has designed an environment for app developers to undertake rapid mobile
enterprise app development of business applications that feature full real-time reliable
communications. Developers can use the built-in workflow and geolocation reporting to
create multi-platform apps that extend existing back-end business processes to the mobile
world, while guaranteeing transactions over the inherently unreliable mobile data network.
Now in its third year, the annual Apps World 2012 show is set to be the biggest yet
with over 5000 developers, mobile marketers, mobile operators, device manufacturers,
platform owners and industry professionals expected for the two day event.
About 5app
5app Limited is a mobile application software developer, headquartered at the new
Bristol and Bath Science Park and with offices in London's Tech City.
The 5app Factory is a cloud-based environment for the rapid application development of
robust, real-time, enterprise-scale, mobile business applications with built-in workflow,
geolocation reporting, data reliability and transactional integrity.
5app enables businesses to develop applications once only and then to deploy a single
version across all types of smartphones and tablets (e.g. iOS, Android, BlackBerry,
Windows and Symbian) thereby avoiding the need to develop native applications for each
device.
Developers use standard web-programming tools - HTML5, CSS and Javascript - and can
readily connect their apps to any enterprise system using standard calls. Through the use
of innovative real-time communications, data reliability and transactional integrity are
guaranteed even when remote mobile devices are 'sleeping' or phone reception is
intermittent.
5app is designed to provide robust, enterprise-scale applications through the use of
its in-built workflow editors, geolocation reporting, and highly reliable data
communications.
5app's unique 'engine' runs on any type of remote handset and removes the need for app
store-style downloads of new or updated software, whilst ensuring that all users always
have the latest version of software. The 5app system manages the deployment of apps,
ensuring that each end user only has the appropriate apps; additional security is provided
through user authentication and optional encryption of communications.
