Aptana: open source IDE for iPhone

IDE, SDK March 21st, 2008

In an AjaxWorld Conference this week, Aptana had one of the more impressive presentations on how easy it is to develop Ajax applications for the iPhone.

They presented open source Aptana Studio IDE. It is a full Ajax development environment and it is available as a stand-alone as well as an Eclipse plug-in.

Integration with Eclipse provides developers with an interactive console as well as preview support for iPhone applications. Plug-in also supports preview with which you also see how the application will look like and how it will behave on an iPhone. This is achieved by integrating the plug-in with iPhone emulator.

The demonstration showed how to build a simple application. It was also explained how Aptana Studio includes options that enable developers to take full advantage of the iPhone user interface for sizing, resizing and left-to-right toggling. The result is that developers will get a real sense of what their applications will look like inside of iPhone.
