Application development has gone multiple platform: If one wants to build an app to reach maximum users, multiple mobile platform versions are build to make sure it reaches all the audience. Rapid Application Development in this new era is like having an IDE where you can write code for a single app that can be complied to multiple platforms.
ZendStudio is one of the moden IDEs that is used to create rapid and quality applications that are hearted in cloud as web services and their clients are complied to run on multiple mobile platforms (The usual scenario). Here is Zend’s senior director of product management Kent Mitchell creating a cloud-enabled native mobile application in 10 minutes. This video shows the power of ZendStudio’s Rapid Application Development in action.
I am still a fan of using native programming languages and official IDEs for mobile application, but ZendStudio does look pretty cool.
