1. WaveMaker 6.5 – Mobile Made Easy

WaveMaker 6.5.0 RELEASE is available effective immediately.
WaveMaker 6.5.0 simplifies mobile application development, enabling business developers to create mobile web and native mobile applications. Using WaveMaker’s drag-and-drop Studio, business developers create standard HTML5 and JavaScript applications. WaveMaker 6.5 includes specialized mobile templates, widgets, and properties all of which greatly simplify the effort required to create applications targeted to mobile phones and tablets. As well, WaveMaker provides features that enable developers to create a single application that displays well on a phone or tablet or in a standard web browser.
The new integration with PhoneGap exposes the functions of a mobile device, for example: camera, address book, or GPS. WaveMaker packages the application into the PhoneGap Build format, making it easy to create native mobile applications for any mobile OS, including iOS and Android.
Native mobile applications built with WaveMaker are able to directly access web services, providing additional deployment models. Due to security concerns, most web applications direct all requests to single server. WaveMaker web applications follow this standard, using a Java/Spring server to control and delegate service requests. In addition to the standard web architecture, WaveMaker 6.5 supports XHR calls directly from the mobile application to REST services. See Four Architectures for WaveMaker Deployment.
The visual debugger is tailored to the needs of business developers. The WaveMaker debugger enables the developer to view the application’s behavior, including service calls, user events, and widget data bindings.
Now a business developer can build a mobile application without leaving a browser. In addition to the traditional desktop installation, WaveMaker is also available on Cloud Foundry as a hosted service. All you need to get started is a Cloud Foundry account.
