To
develop rich applications rapidly, many developers rely on
ColdFusion.
Adobe has further launched ColdFusion Builder to make it easier for
programmers to build complex mobile applications in a quicker and
more efficient way. The Eclipse-based development IDE can be used by
developers to create, debug, test and deploy a variety of mobile
applications across different mobile platforms and devices. Adobe has
further updated ColdFusion Builder 3 with a set of features to
support the end-to-end workflow of mobile app developers.
What
Makes ColdFusion Builder 3 Essential for Mobile Application
Development
Easy
to Install: As
ColdFusion Builder is an Eclipse development IDE it can be installed
either as a plugin or standalone application. If Eclipse is already
set up on your system, you can opt for the plugin version of
ColdFusion Builder. On the other hand, the standalone application
will create a packaged version of ColdFusion Builder that includes
Eclipse. Based on your needs, you can decide the most appropriate way
to install and use the development IDE.
Cross-Platform
Mobile App Development: Nowadays,
most companies plan to build apps by targeting multiple mobile
devices and platforms to get higher returns. But programmers have to
write lengthy and complex code to optimize the look and feel of the
mobile apps across different platforms. But ColdFusion Builder makes
it easier for them to build mobile apps that run seamlessly on
Android and iOS. Adobe has further integrated PhoneGap
Build in the IDE to help developers in delivering the code as
installed apps.
On-Device
Debugging: The
programmers have further option to identify and fix the bugs, errors
and flaws in a mobile application by using the on-device debugging
feature of ColdFusion Builder. The feature enables them to check both
browser-based mobile applications and installed mobile apps. The
actual usage of the mobile application can also be simulated by
connecting a mobile device to the IDE remotely.
Inspect
the Look and Feel of the App across Multiple Devices: To
make a mobile app compatible with multiple platforms, developers have
to modify its overall look and feel on several devices. ColdFusion
Builder comes with the built-in Weinre server to make it easier for
programmers to inspect the look and feel of an app on multiple
devices. Further, they can use the IDE to modify the properties of
required element, while monitoring the changes in real time.
Smart
Code Refactoring: Often
mobile app developers have to restructure their code while renaming a
function, variable or CFC. ColdFusion Builder makes it easier for
developers to speed up the CFML application development by
restructuring the code automatically. The IDE further identifies the
required attributes of each tag, and use the tag editor to assign
values. The feature makes it easier for programmers to maintain their
existing code, while minimizing coding errors.
Intelligent
Coding Option: The
ColdFusion Builder 3 also provides code assist for HTML, JavaScript,
CSS, CFScript and CFML. The programmers can further avail ordered
code assist for the third-party JavaScript libraries that are
included in the application to enhance its performance. They also
have option to get intelligent coding options for HTML, JavaScript,
CSS, data tables, user-defined functions and ColdFusion components.
The intelligent coding assistance makes it easier for novice web
application developers to switch from their existing IDEs to
ColdFusion Builder within a shorter span of time.
Before
migrating to the Eclipse-based development IDE, programmers have
option to download and use the trial version of ColdFusion Builder 3
for 60 days. So it becomes easier for enterprises to evaluate the
pros and cons of ColdFusion Builder according to specific needs of
their mobile application development project.You can get in touch
