Appcelerator, Inc.

Appcelerator and SpringSource have partnered to provide out-of-the-box support for building Rich Internet Applications. The Appcelerator WebClient™ SDK, together with the SpringSource Application Platform™, enables organizations to create rich and highly interactive Web clients that integrate seamlessly with SpringSource Java server-side applications. And Appcelerator's IDE provides a fully integrated development environment for prototyping, building, testing, and deploying these applications quickly and easily.

Appcelerator – Code Smart. Code Fast. Code Strong.

"We are very excited that Appcelerator is now distributed with Spring. Appcelerator’s message oriented architecture provides a clean separation between the Web client and server tiers, enabling true SOA for Web applications. This is particularly valuable for developers looking to add rich web client functionality to their Spring applications."

LICENSING

Apache License, Version 2

Appcelerator is a fully-integrated platform for building rich Internet Applications (RIAs). It provides everything you need to build a rich and highly interactive web site or application, integrated with the server-side technology of your choice. Appcelerator allows developers to rapidly build applications that incorporate Ajax and Web 2.0-style usability by leveraging the following key capabilities:

Message Oriented Architecture

The foundation of Appcelerator is its message-oriented architecture. In Appcelerator, HTML elements can declaratively generate and receive messages. These messages can be local (i.e., only within the client application) or remote (i.e., sent to a remote service). Appcelerator Services subscribe to remote messages in order to process service requests.

Web Expression Language

The Web Expression Language provides a simple and intuitive syntax for turning standard HTML elements into dynamic Rich Internet Application components. With the Web Expression Language, HTML elements can send and receive local and remote messages as well as dynamically change their visual appearance.

Widget Framework

The Widget Framework is Javascript-based API for building Rich Internet Application widgets. It can be used to create new widgets or wrap existing third-party widgets from Yahoo (YUI), ExtJS, and even Flex! The Appcelerator Platform is bundled with several pre-built widgets.

Integrated Services Platform

Appcelerator provides Service Integration Points for Java, PHP, Ruby, .NET, Python and Perl. Service Integration Points enable developers to create Appcelerator services that are fully integrated with Appcelerator’s message-oriented architecture.
