ZK 6.5 Offers One Code Base Solution, a Step Ahead of Competitors Running on PC, iPad & Android Tablets
London, UK (PRWEB) November 30, 2012
The new ZK 6.5 brings ZK a step further to a whole new level where responsive design and automated interaction methods of touch devices such as iPad and Android tablets are supported using just one component set and code base achieving true device transparency.
As it is of the trend now, tablet and mobile devices are of essential consideration when companies are setting up their web sites. When developers are set the task and are looking for the most suitable framework to use, it is important that the framework should support tablets and mobile devices too in the most productive way.
While many frameworks on the Java Web market are offering solutions for creating mobile applications using a separate set of component and code base, ZK chose a different approach. With the launch of ZK 6.5, developers are now able to write one application and have it optimized to run on multiple platforms which was the concept behind this release.
Originally, a separate component set named ZK Touch was released, going to be a component set for supporting touch devices where things were looking promising. However, upon releasing the preview version of ZK Touch, an abundance of feedback from the community suggested that it is too costly and time consuming to design the UI using a separate component set.
To eliminate this work and the risk associated with it, components which can automatically adapt and optimize to different devices i.e. responsive components are much more efficient. This highlights an interesting point that the work and of supporting different devices still exists, it is just ZK does the work and thus eliminating developer’s risks.
