HTML5 mobile and IBM Worklight

HTML5 mobile development is quickly changing the face of the mobile market. IBM Worklight has been designed to allow users to take full advantage of HTML5 without compromise. Leveraging the platform's unique features, developers can augment HTML5-based apps with enterprise-grade utilities and mechanisms:

• IBM Worklight's Runtime Skins allows building apps that use the same executable file to deliver an environment-optimized experience on devices of the same OS, regardless of their level of support for HTML5
• Leveraging IBM Worklight's hybrid approach, users can code using both native and HTML languages to produce a rich application in the most efficient development process possible
• The platform's security and authentication framework enables the encryption of user data stored locally and the authentication of users in offline mode
• IBM Worklight's "Shell App" approach lets users create apps that can be updated directly from the server to the end-user device without requiring the long approval process of application stores
