“Today represents BB10 developed to be in one of the spaces that better monetizes [generates profits] applications and especially with the ease of creating a solution from almost any platform like HTML5, Adobe Air, Cascades, and even Android, as our system allows you to virtualize such platforms, “said Adam Stanley, head of developer relations for BlackBerry on HTML5 and Air platforms.

Since its launch earlier this year, says Stanley, BB10 operating system has caused the interest of developers, because “was conceived as the most open platform market. thing that has marked this development is that it is prepared to support one that is setting standards like HTML5 developments, “he explains.

According to the manager, the more optimized are browsers and devices to consume content written in HTML5 code, the greater its use. Note that “html5test.com” is a laboratory that analyzes everything about this standard on browsers, where the most prepared is Maxthon 4.0 for desktop, Opera Mobile 14 for Tablets, BlackBerry 10 mobile, Sony Playstation Vita for consoles and Toshiba for the case of televisions.

“It is difficult to identify which region is more community involvement, because from anywhere you have access to the same information and tools, but the Hackathon [developers meeting] more assistance was in Mexico,” says Stanley .

GLOBAL ENTHUSIASM

develop an application that runs on BB10, Adam Stanley emphasizes, can arise even without spending a penny, because the development tools such as Cascades, HTML5, Java, Javascript, among others are to download and free. While other programmers the same community and the same company BlackBerry are responsible for ensuring the support and advice.

To maintain ongoing community outreach have been implemented worldwide known as Tech Centers spaces where those interested in creating this type of software for mobile devices can meet, have access to discussions with industry experts and use the tools to build applications and participate in workshops. In Latin America they have three locations in operation, two in Brazil and one in Argentina.

The great democratization of the Internet to obtain the tools and develop an application, allow that there are no limits on the age and knowledge. Proof of this is what was presented in November at the Hackathon in Thailand where a child of 13 years and had about 100 applications developed.

“As this young, anyone who likes technology and, especially, programming, it may be retired and do as a hobby applications, the tools are for anyone who wishes to use” concludes Adam Stanley .
