Product Development
Development of WorkLight applications is performed in the WorkLight Studio. The WorkLight Studio is an Eclipse-based IDE that includes a special plug-in for automating application development tasks. Development is done using the familiar web technologies HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, also supporting the latest HTML5 and CSS3 standards.  
The WorkLight Mobile Platform does not limit development process to coding in web technologies. iPhone developers can choose to program parts or even all of their application in Objective-C. They can either complement WorkLight's iPhone run-time environment with their own code, for example, to access a special device feature or perform custom logic, or completely replace WorkLight's iPhone run-time environment and write the entire application in Objective-C.
 
Furthermore, iPhone developers can use the WorkLight Objective-C API to access the WorkLight Server, invoke an enterprise information service, record a user activity in an audit log, or perform an authentication sequence. This allows organizations which already developed an iPhone application to benefit from the benefits of the WorkLight Mobile Platform.
The WorkLight solution is future-proof. As new environments and devices become popular, WorkLight will automatically provide support for these new services allowing organizations to further extend their reach of customers, partners and employees.  Application developers will not have to retro-fit their applications to add support for the new interfaces.
