Deliver Popular, Certified Eclipse Plugins Inside the Firewall

January 31st, 2012

Our Secure Delivery Center now includes popular Eclipse plugins in a certified, vetted format that are integrity tested and intended for use within the enterprise. Companies can now offer these certified Eclipse packs internally and know that the code bases have not been tampered with.

Rather than setting up your enterprise tool stack by finding each plugin individually, the Certified Pack gives developers a clean, internal location to find the most common plugins. But what’s included? As a sampling, popular certified Eclipse plugin packages include popular software like:

  • Maven
  • AnyEdit
  • Subclipse
  • FindBugs
  • Egit
  • …and dozens more

The Certified Pack is based on download and usage statistics from the Eclipse Foundation (http://www.eclipse.org). Genuitec does not judge how “good” a plugin might be – instead our engineers include the plugins that developers are most likely to use based on historic trends.

To learn more about the Certified Pack, please visit: http://www.genuitec.com/sdc/certified_pack.php

For a broad understanding of the power inside SDC, its features include:

  • Managing tools behind your firewall in your “private cloud”
  • “Lock down” Eclipse-based tool stacks with one click
  • Generate full, customized installers for tool stacks
  • Easy usage reporting on tools and open source compliance
  • Manage multiple versions of software simultaneously
  • Manage Eclipse, MyEclipse or both at once

As Tablet Sales Double in One Month, App Developer Demand Increases

January 25th, 2012

Genuitec’s  MobiOne has seen its download numbers increase by 55 percent during the holiday months cited in a Pew Internet & American Life Project report. Web developers, marketers, and others find MobiOne’s ability to quickly create App Store-ready apps a key in keeping up with user demand for new, creative iOS apps.

Attend a webinar to learn about MobiOne on Thursday, January 26 at 12:00 P.M. EST. Register here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/430975714

**Special, webinar attendees will get $70 off MobiOne for a total cost of $29.95**

The Pew Internet & American Life Project report found that cheaper prices for the Kindle Fire and Nook tablets during the holiday season brought many new users into market, while overall tablet growth (iPad, ect…) doubled from 10 percent to 19 percent ownership. Older consumers in the 50-64 year-old age range saw an increase of 9 percent in tablet ownership.

MobiOne has found appeal with app designers by bridging the gap for iOS development on Windows operating systems, so any user can now design and build App Store-ready iOS apps without needing a Mac. This means there is no longer an additional, expensive requirement to buy a Mac machine or learn Objective-C (Apple’s language) to design and build world-class apps that operate natively on iOS devices. Apple shipped a reported 13-14 million iPads during the holiday season, so the market is ready for higher-quality, higher productivity applications.

Webinar: Design and Build Native iOS Apps on Windows with MobiOne

January 24th, 2012

This is exciting, knocking down walls that Apple has put up. This time we lasered-in on native iOS app development and removed the need for a Mac or the know-how of learning Objective-C. How did we do it, how did Genuitec make native app building possible using a Windows machine? How did we make it possible for anyone to now create apps for the iPad, iPhone, iPod and have it ready for the App Store?

Come to the webinar to find out, it’s on Thursday, January 26 at 12:00 PM ET. Register, here.

**Special** Attend the webinar for a promotion of $70.00 off the price of MobiOne bringing the cost to $29.95. Of course, you can try MobiOne for free first by visiting here.  Hope to see you there!

This is our mobile team lead, Wayne. He will be your host on Thursday.

Watch MobiOne Build an App Store-ready Native App

January 17th, 2012

So that’s it, the title says it all. MobiOne is really a revolutionary product – just watch the video to see why.  Of note, you don’t need to know any code or Objective-C (Apple’s code). You don’t need to buy a Mac (a hidden cost to app development).  All you need is your Windows computer (that’s the revolutionary part) and an idea, MobiOne really does the rest. See for yourself.

PS – If you’re a developer, you can tweak the code as you like. :)

Design and Build Native iOS Apps on Windows with MobiOne, No Mac or Objective-C Needed

January 10th, 2012

Our newest technology break-through for iPhone, iPad and iPod app development means Windows users can now create native iOS apps and webapps without owning a Mac or knowing Objective-C. These two Apple requirements are “hidden costs” that quickly add-up to thousands of dollars and make the prospect of creating native apps even more daunting.  But now, for the first time, you can use your existing Windows computer to create the same native apps you see in the App Store only for a lot less and using what you already own.

Download / Learn More

What’s better than that? Well, you don’t actually need to know code – at all. In fact, if you can string together a PowerPoint presentation (we’re fairly certain everyone can do this), then you have all the skills needed to create an App Store app, the only limitation is your imagination.

MobiOne is designed for web developers, marketing departments, business consultants, and anyone who doesn’t know Objective-C or want to buy a Mac, but wants to create and build App Store-ready iOS applications and webapps.

The communications power plant inside MobiOne is a cloud technology that Genuitec engineered called “AppCenter,” where app designers can test their native and webapps in a private Genuitec cloud for access anywhere. The AppCenter technology allows for easy testing of apps and webapps over the air (using iOS 4+) or through iTunes. Testing links can be shared via email or SMS for multiple device testing and previews.

Not to add too much hyperbole in this blog post, but we know this is a “game changer” in iOS app development as we’ve effectively lowered the bar for anyone to create native and web iOS apps – we’ve given the power to you, the everyday users to get in the app development game.

MobiOne is $99 annually and is fully supported by our staff. If you have any questions, check out our forums first or drop a note in there and we’ll get back to you soon. Go, here.

Here is a picture of a basic sample app created in MobiOne, it took less than 10 minutes to create and prepare for the App Store (just imagine what you can do).

No Need To Commute, Ever. We’re Hiring IBM WebSphere Developers :)

January 2nd, 2012

We’re two days into this glorious year and we’re already looking to add top talent to one of our fastest growing teams – the Blue Team. Technically it’s the MyEclipse Blue team, but around here it’s just the Blue Team (we don’t have a red team… at least not yet).

So before we lay out what we’re hoping you have, we’ll start this conversation by telling you we’ve got for you. First and foremost you’ll gain freedom. You’ll never have to sit in traffic on your commute to work, ever again. And you’ll see more of your family everyday. Those are the two biggest points, but trust us you’ll discover dozens of more incentives to this offer if you simply think about it.

How are we able to do this you ask? Well, we only take the best software developers and as a reward for choosing Genuitec we give you the freedom to actually work from home and get paid.

Still think that’s not a good enough deal for you? Check out this story about our awesome hiring practices from the analyst firm RedMonk, here.

It’s a great deal as no one really leaves this company once they get in. :)

So here’s what we need:

An experienced IBM WebSphere enterprise software developer who has extensive experience creating, building and deploying enterprise strength applications to WebSphere Application Server 6, 6.1, 7 and 8. A minimum of two years experience developing applications with at least three of the following technologies:

*EJB
*Portlets
*JCA / JNDI
*JSF
*JAX-RPC
*JAX-WS
*Enterprise Application Clients
*Maven
*DB2

Lastly, to be a viable candidate you must also have very reliable access to high-speed Internet and good English verbal and writing skills.

As a bonus, experience using IBM’s RAD to develop applications and experience with Eclipse plug-in development would be great.

If you’ve got the talent, we’ve got a great offer. So go ahead and send your resume and experience details to: employment (at) genuitec (dot) com

Cheers, and Happy 2012!

Goodbye 2011, You were Strange

December 29th, 2011

As we reflect on this past year the word that comes to mind is “strange.”  From a business sense it was a good year for Genuitec; we usually have growth years as our business model is sound (we know, shameless plug). But for the tech world at- large, it was a strange year.

From the flip-flopping at HP on its computer business, to Amazon cloud outages, and RIM falling behind, the tablet “wars” that never materialized, IT patent insanity, Netflix imploding,  this pending SOPA legislation… the list goes on and on, but really this year was just odd for some of the big players in tech. Not to mention we lost a beloved visionary in Steve Jobs. Though his son appears to be a smart kid who wants to become an oncologist to fight the type of cancer that consumed his dad – we’re behind you kid, 100 percent.

Anyway, not to end the year on a somber note, but here’s to hoping that 2012 is a little less strange in the tech world.  :)
