Intel is all set to announce new HTML5 programming tools with the sole aim to reduce application development costs and boost revenue for developers. This was announced by software chief Renee James recently. Adressing the Intel Developer Forum, James started her keynote by bringing attention to the challenge of making money developing mobile applications and said that the company’s goal is to unify app development across operating systems and devices.
With a mammoth assignment of giving her IDF speech at the Moscone Center in San Francisco just an hour ahead of Apple’s highly anticipated launch of the iPhone 5 at the nearby Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, James seems to had facing her own challenge. “I get to be the opening act for Apple’s announcement,” James said.
Though all the buzz was head of James’ keynote about software and services was around Apple’s product launch, the hall was packed with developers excited by Intel’s software efforts.
Intel offers programming tools for developers to write applications for the latest PC, tablet, mobile and server processors. There are thousands of developers employed in the company for writing drivers, mobile applications, embedded applications and contributing to operating systems. James also said that the company supports native programming across multiple platforms. In addition to it, Intel will also offer cross-platform development tools for iOS, Android, Windows and Tizen. Microsoft and Apple already back HTML5 and already some tools are to port from Apple’s iOS to Android.
The company is promoting writing applications in HTML5, which works across platforms and accessibility of the cloud. HTML5 can bring down cost of development for customers and also bring a consistent app experience across devices, James said.
She said the Intel is soon going to announce tools for HTML5 programming. A common platform will reduce the efforts needed to test apps and also cut costs related to fixing bugs and porting software across environments.
