MobiForms Developer Tool Now Supports Creation of Mobile HTML5 Offline Apps

Online, July 22, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The latest version of the innovative cross-platform mobile development tool MobiForms 7.0 now supports the creation of HTML5 offline apps for any mobile device with a web browser capable of supporting Web SQL and Javascript including Windows Tablet, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Google Android, and Apple iPhone, iPod and iPod.

HTML5 support offers some advantages over the traditional native mobile apps:

- Exploits the SQLite database engine embedded as Web SQL in most modern mobile web browsers.

- The default look and feel can be changed by simply configuring the custom style sheet (CSS) properties.

- Supports OTA (Over The Air) deployment via a simple URL.

- Free deployment to all supported devices including Windows Tablet, Windows Phone, Blackberry, Google Android, and Apple iPhone, iPod and iPod.

- Totally avoids the app approval process mandated by many sites such as the Apple App Store which alone can take weeks.

- All programming is driven by drag and drop or pull-down lists. Avoids low level programming languages such as Java, C, Objective-C, HTML or Javscript with hundreds of difficult commands and syntax.

- The MobiForms Developer creates an HTML app file defining the app look and feel, business logic, validation rules and Web SQL database logic encoded as HTML and Javascript. The HTML file is saved in a user definable HTML Folder in the MobiForms Settings window.

- Supports a corporate Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategy.

- Supports a corporate Cloud hosting strategy. Can be hosted by any internal or external web server.

Unlike most competing products, MobiForms offers a total solution for a once off licence fee without any of the traditional constraints.
