Smartphone Apps Made Easy
Use your web skills to write NATIVE apps once and build for ALL smartphones with Rhodes 3.0. Write and build apps online with RhoHub. Easily integrate with enterprise apps and synchronize data to devices with RhoConnect. The result:
- Unmatched Developer Productivity
- Synchronized Data and Easy App Integration
- Cross-platform – One Codebase, Every Smartphone
Rhodes, the first smartphone framework for mobile application development, allows programmers to rapidly write NATIVE smartphone apps. Rhodes is the only cross-platform framework with MVC, sync, and support for all smartphone platforms. The new RhoHub hosted service enables mobile phone development in the cloud for the first time.
Rhodes is an open source Ruby-based framework to rapidly build native apps for all major smartphone operating systems (iPhone, Android, RIM, Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7). These are true native device applications (NOT mobile web apps) which work with synchronized local data and take advantage of device capabilities such as GPS, PIM contacts and calendar, camera, native mapping, push, barcode, signature capture, Bluetooth and Near Field Communications (NFC).
Rhodes is the ONLY framework with: support for Model View Controller (other frameworks force you to put all business logic into the view as JavaScript), synchronized data (the price of entry for enterprise apps), support for ALL devices (Android and iPhone is not “crossplatform”), a hosted build service (RhoHub – which changes the game for mobile app development entirely) and true industrial device capabilities such as NFC.
Purchasing
Rhodes is free and open source under the MIT License. Most organizations building real production apps require some level of commercial grade support. For that we offer the Rhodes Enterprise License.
