TigerLogic Corporation launched Omnis Studio version 5.2 featuring a new JavaScript based Client technology that allows Omnis applications to run in a browser on virtually any device, on any platform. The Omnis JavaScript Client uses scripting compatible with HTML5 and CSS3 to enable support for all popular browsers and devices, including tablets, smartphones, desktops, and web-enabled TVs.
Omnis Studio 5.2 is a high-performance visual Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool designed to help developers extend their applications across the web, mobile and enterprise space while providing an interactive, feature-rich experience. Applications are developed once and deployed to any device, on any platform, including Android, iOS, Mac OS, Linux and Windows, with no plug-in installation required.
"Today developers are looking for ways to easily extend their business and consumer applications to the latest generation of mobile and web-based devices," said John Bramley, Vice President of Product Development. "With the evolution of Omnis Studio 5.2, it's now even easier to develop leading-edge solutions in less time and with fewer resources."
Omnis Studio 5.2 includes support for the SQLite database, a popular database with a light footprint that can be embedded into a full range of applications. In addition, the new Welcome application provides access to a set of sample applications and a built-in tutorial to assist first-time Omnis Studio users. These sample applications show the strengths and extensibility of the JavaScript Client and can be used standalone or incorporated into other Omnis application libraries.
The D3 DBMS embodies the best and most desired features for developers and users. It is simple in its structure but allows for complex definitions of data structures and program logic. The built-in development environment allows applications to be rapidly prototyped, developed, and modified on the spot. Custom applications and on-site enhancements are common in the D3 community. Everything required for development is already in D3, making D3 much more than a typical database environment. Site administration requires a fraction of the staff of other environments of the same size - a large proportion of sites running D3 do not have an IT staff.
D3 is developed and supported over the many environments indicated on these pages. All code and data easily migrates between environments without modification, so both developers and users can work on their platforms of choice.
Other products from TigerLogic include connectivity tools like FlashCONNECT for web, the D3 Class Libraries, the Open Systems File Interface for Oracle and other environments, and XML technologies to exchange data with other XML-compliant programs or environments.
