Abstract: A network-based application development and distribution platform allows application developers to build, modify, and configure dynamic content applications (especially mobile applications) remotely, and without requiring manual software coding. Smart endpoints facilitate creation of distributable applications for multiple operating systems, form factors, access methods, and/or device types, while creating only a single product and associating the product with the desired endpoints corresponding to the operating systems, form factors, access methods, and/or device types. The platform also facilitates software updates, as updates can be made to the product once, rather than once for each version of the application.

Abstract: Web application development system with an associated user interface framework and a set of tools for the creation, configuration, management, and deployment of web applications that may be based on application templates and controlled by configurable runtime attributes. User interface framework contains packaged set of libraries for rapid creation of web applications, including template applications with configuration points called configurable runtime attributes. Tools contain a wizard-style application for selection of configurable runtime attributes and a web-based resource manager for selection of configurable runtime attributes, management of application packs including internationalization and skin packs, in-place editing of web application elements, and web application deployment.

Abstract: A network-based application development and distribution platform allows application developers to build, modify, and configure dynamic content applications (especially mobile applications) remotely, and without requiring manual software coding. Configurable user interface components and functional components are available to a developer to create packages of components, which packages and components are available and configurable to create products. The developer can associate the product with one or more endpoints to result in an application associated with each endpoint. Updating the applications requires only modifications to the product or its underlying packages and/or components, but not to each of the applications resulting from the association of the product with the one or more endpoints.
