Salesforce has relaunched its mobile services offering for developers. On Tuesday, the enterprise software company announced that it was releasing an updated mobile SDK and developer mobile packs with new support for Javascript frameworks, something that it says will help make creating third-party apps on the Salesforce platform easier. In addition, the company has created a new mobile accelerator program to help teach its customers how to use these tools so that they can evangelize it internally.
Making apps more accessible to Salesforce’s platform
It’s no secret that Salesforce has become popular in the enterprise space, so much so that it has more than 3 million apps created with more than 1.7 million installs on its AppExchange. But while that may be, one thing developers have noticed is the length of time it takes to produce an app using the existing model.
Prior to today, it would have taken much longer to create an app because developers didn’t have the the technologies in place to streamline the process. Today that all changes as Salesforce says that its developers will no longer need to trade between a great app experience and access to business data and development speed.
