MobUser

Well it has been a long road, but I am very happy to say that Mojax has reached its first major internal milestone and is now being tested. Developers have begun to use Mojax and the feedback is extremely positive.

Overview
mojax is the evolution of what began with mWorks 1.0; the goal of which was to provide the easiest way to leverage existing skill sets to develop compelling mobile applications that would run across the broadest range of devices. mWorks 1.0 provided a simple XML based language (MIL) with support for XPath and synchronous XML data services. Mojax is a complete rewrite of mWorks 1.0 which runs in a much smaller footprint (50k) and adds some significant language enhancements …

Mobile AJAX has Arrived!
The most important enhancement to MIL 2.0 is its substantial support for JavaScript, CSS, and Asynchronous XML Data Services … in other words … AJAX! If you don’t know the significance of that then know that AJAX is the technology foundation for “Web 2.0″.

Designers Welcome!
With mWorks 1.x we provided a lot less flexibility in the UI. We still believe that the SliderUI is a pretty slick way for a user to interact with their device, but we knew it wasn’t the only way to deliver information. With Mojax just about anything is possible. Much in the same way that AJAX libraries like Scriptaculous and Dojo are giving users a simple way to animated visual elements on screen, so too does MIL 2.0. Using MIL 2.0 you can manage graphical layers, animate any element on the screen, and even control transparency!

… and the best of all … IT’S FREE!!
Nothing is more frustrating to a developer than having to always have a business case and $$ to try out a cool idea … some ideas create new business after all! Mojax will be free for anyone to download and use for commercial and non-commercial applications. WHAT??!! yes, you read correctly … Mojax will be free because we have a number of supporting products and services that we sell in addition to the core platform. In fact we will be one of the very first to offer full ad-serving capabilities within any Moblet. All you have to do is create a cool mobile application and we will help you distribute and monetize it … its so easy to use we think you’ll love it!

Public Beta Coming Soon!
We will soon be extending the beta to the public. If you are interested in being part of this beta send an email to beta at mfoundry dot com!
