RIM Blackberry Development

Research in Motions (RIM) Blackberry smart phones has become a vital part of many corporate networks including IT, financial, travel and government networks. The major feature in Blackberry platform is Real time Live Push alerts & its browser based rich internet architecture. RIM has introduced powerful new tools and technologies for web application developers to build highly-responsive, interactive, standalone web applications on BlackBerry smart phones. The Blackberry application development tools include plug-ins for Eclipse developers and new features for the BlackBerry Plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio that support web development capabilities; as well as support for Gears, enabling web applications to run as standalone applications on BlackBerry smart phones.

The BlackBerry Plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio supports web development capabilities and enables Blackberry developers and Blackberry programmers to create rich, dynamic BlackBerry applications that leverage the push capabilities, security and efficiency of the BlackBerry platform. RIM developers will be able to build applications using HTML, JavaScript and XML that get packaged and executed as native Java applications on BlackBerry smart phones.

Blackberry software development happens on the J2ME framework as well. As such, developing Blackberry J2ME applications are open to any developer who has developed applications on the J2ME platform.

Silicus RIM Blackberry Development Expertise

RIM application development is based on the J2ME framework as well. The RIM Java development approach is ideal for those looking to create rich client applications, giving you the utmost development flexibility and power. RIM J2ME allows a Blackberry developer to create feature-rich applications with an incredibly broad reach in functionality: games, corporate applications, consumer productivity, or wherever your imagination takes you.

Developing in Java also enables a Blackberry programmer to take full advantage of BlackBerry smart phone features (including the camera, phone and peripheral protocols like Bluetooth) and integrate with core BlackBerry applications such as address book, GPS functionality, BlackBerry Maps and even the BlackBerry Message application.
