Native Cross Platform Development Gets Better With Eqela 1.2, Now With Blackberry 10 Support

Online, February 27, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Job and Esther Technologies has announced the immediate availability of Eqela version 1.2, introducing more than 250 new features, enhancements and updates to the Eqela software development platform. Eqela enables software developers to write applications within a single codebase using the Eqela programming language, translating the source code to different programming languages targeting different platforms and thereby creating truly native applications on any platform. The new version now adds the newly released Blackberry 10 to the list of officially supported platforms, and greatly enhances the functionality, performance and ease of development on all supported platforms.

The development tools can be used on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and can be used to translate application code to execute on all popular operating systems, both in mobile and desktop environments, as well as on the web, targeting the HTML5 platform. The ability to convert source code to different programming languages is achieved through the Eqela compiler, specifically developed for this purpose by Job and Esther Technologies, and enhanced in many ways in the present release.

For those developers wanting to try out the tool prior to purchase, the company continues to make available a cloud-based development environment called Eqela Live. By using only a modern web browser, anyone can familiarize themselves with the Eqela platform by compiling, editing and customizing sample applications, or creating new ones through the web based IDE of Eqela Live. To further celebrate the introduction of Blackberry 10 support, Job and Esther Technologies has also made a special edition of the Eqela Live tool available as a native Blackberry 10 application, which is currently available for download on Blackberry World for Blackberry 10 users.

"We are extremely pleased to be able to introduce support for the Blackberry 10 platform in this release", says Markku Kero, CEO of Job and Esther Technologies. "We believe that it is good for the entire industry that new platforms can be introduced to the market so that the new innovations in them can continue to help drive the whole industry forward. We hope that Blackberry 10 will continue to be a successful platform."

The Eqela platform continues to be enhanced by Job and Esther Technologies. A next generation IDE environment for Eqela is currently being worked on for both online and offline environments, and the company plans to work heavily in introducing new kinds of user interface approaches through extended use of 3D technologies and advanced hardware acceleration features on various devices.
