This article was originally published on http://uxmovement.com/resources/innovative-features-in-tiggr-mobile-apps-builder/ Ask anyone involved in making applications as a developer or a customer: Would you like to see how the app looks and behaves before we actually build it?

In early February JavaFX 2.0 preview was released to partners and beta testers. A number of articles and blogs appeared demonstrating the new JavaFX 2.0 API (here, here and here).

If you’ve been building web or mobile applications, you probably know how tough it is to describe UI requirements in a text document. It’s even more challenging for the person reading the requirements to understand what the heck the author meant. Sometimes visual aids help.

Cameron McKenzie from TheServerSide.com posted a reply and summary to Yakov’s and my blog post: Java on the client…again.

Yakov Fain blogged that Java on the client has no chance succeeding with the current complicated installation process. Unfortunately I agree. But, I also think there is even a bigger and very closely related problem, launching Java client applications. I blogged about it here. Launching Java applications on the client could be very challenging. With…

At some point in the near future, your company will need to deploy a mobile application, either native or web. It’s not anymore a question of if, but when.
