TechRepublic:Cool HTML5 Application Development-Alpha Anywhere

Richard Rabins
In a recent TechRepublic article titled "Cool HTML5 Implementations in Application Development and Gaming", Alpha Anywhere and FileMaker are highlighted as "cool implementations." They also point out that one of the differences between the two systems is that Alpha Anywhere is designed for building web and mobile apps, whereas Filemaker's capabilities are limited to web applications. There are many other additional distinctions between Alpha Anywhere and Filemaker when it comes to being Enterprise Business ready but we were happy that we received this "shout out" and hope you will find it an interesting article. We've copied the portion of the article discussing Alpha Anywhere's HTML5 development tools below:

Cool HTML5 implementations in application development and gaming

Alpha Anywhere

Alpha Software's Alpha Anywhere is a standards-based HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript coding-optional environment that rapidly creates business applications with responsive layout and design on any mobile device, laptop, or desktop. Alpha Anywhere's latest release is not only built on HTML5, but it also creates HTML5-based applications that can be used in any device and goes beyond the typical responsive design techniques for application delivery to desktops, notebooks, laptops, and mobile phones. The tutorial Vimeo video provides a good overview of the kinds of applications that you can build using Alpha Anywhere. It also shows how to connect with a SQL database and how to make edits to add images using a notebook camera with the Alpha Anywhere image control panel

Using the Alpha TransForm no-code product, business users and developers can take full advantage of all the capabilities of the smartphone to turn any form into a mobile app in minutes, and power users can add advanced app functionality with Alpha TransForm's built-in programming language. IT developers can use the Alpha Anywhere low-code environment to develop complex web or mobile business apps from scratch, integrate data with existing systems of record and workflows (including data collected via Alpha TransForm), and add additional security or authentication requirements to protect corporate data.
