Strategic alliance with Creative IT and Eric Grange

Posted on by Posted in News

We are happy to announce a strategic alliance between Optimale Systemer AS Norway and Creative IT France. Optimale Systemer AS have obtained the exclusive rights to Eric Grange’s javascript code generator plug-in, and our companies will work in joint effort to further advance the technology commercially.

The agreement does not affect DWS (delphi web script), which will remain open-source as it has always been. The evolution of DWS will continue, open for all – however the javascript code generator, which is copyright Eric Grange and Creative IT – is hereby withdrawn in the sense that:

  • no more MPL licenses will be granted
  • all apps that would use the codegen must comply with the MPL
  • all apps compiled by applications which use the released codegen, must likewise comply with the MPL

This is great news and we are eager to advance the technology into new and exciting areas of software development. We are also extremely happy to have Eric Grange with us in a greater capacity.

Sincerely

The Smart Mobile Team

Smart Mobile Studio 1.0

Posted on by Posted in News

We are proud to announce that Smart Mobile Studio version 1.0 is available!

Smart mobile studio is an exciting new development studio for web developers. It’s key feature is that it completely replaces javascript with object pascal. Our advanced compiler technology takes your object pascal source-code and transforms it into state of the art, cutting edge javascript which can be executed by all modern browsers.

Smart Mobile Studio IDE

Smart Mobile Studio IDE

Smart mobile studio comes complete with an integrated development environment containing everything you need. The IDE draws on many different sources but is primarily influenced by Embarcadero delphi and the C# mono project. Those coming from a delphi background will find that the similarities are more than striking: the keyboard shortcuts are the same, the general layout of the IDE is the same, and the way you work with units (source code files) is pure object pascal.

Download your trial edition

You can download a 30 day trial version of Smart Mobile Studio. The trial edition have a few limitations:

  • Smart linker is disabled
  • Code packing is disabled
  • Obfuscation is disabled
  • Optimization is disabled
  • Verbosity is disabled
  • CSS as external file is disabled

The compiled javascript application also informs the user that the app was made in a trial version of Smart Mobile Studio. These limitations are removed when you purchase the full version.

Pricing

We offer a yearly subscription for only $399. The subscription model means that you get full access to:

  • All IDE improvements, fixes and advancement
  • All updates to the visual javascript component library
  • All updates relating to the compiler, pre-processor and code generator
  • Help via email and forums

Sincerely

Only days left

Only days to go

Only days to go

It is now only a matter of days before Smart Mobile Studio 1.0 goes on sale. It marks the end of a one year journey for us to create something completely new for the object pascal community, written in nothing but Delphi itself. But while the journey from idea to realization is over, the next stage of Smart technology is about to begin – and it’s going to be big. Really big.

In this our first release, focus has been on providing you with a solid foundation. A visual javascript component library (VJL) with identical parent/child relationship to what you are already familiar with. An integrated development environment with essential functionality including a component palette. And last but not least, a mock form designer with live rendering of the actual HTML5.

As we move ahead each aspect of the formula will be expanded, strengthened and refined. And while we cant blow the whistle just yet, we have something very exciting in our labs that is going to change everything. Forever.

This is quite possibly the most significant Pascal
development to be watching right now, and brings
the wonderful Pascal language to the world of
Internet development! -Simon Stuart, Delphi developer via Google+

Smart game: WarTrail

Posted on by Posted in News

Eric Grange has added his entry into the PGD competition, a very nice game called Wartrail. The game is coded using Smart Mobile Studio and runs fine under iOS (iPhone and iPad), chrome and FireFox.

The object of the game is to defend your bases against incomming enemies by placing turrets at strategic positions. Each turret costs money and part of the challenge is to figure out where each turret will have the most impact.

TeeChart running under Smart

Steema Software should be no stranger to Delphi, C++ builder or .net developers. They have been producing cutting edge charting components for a long time and are synonymous with quality components.

We are extremely excited about Steema converting their TeeChart component to Smart Mobile Studio, and cant wait to hook it up to our upcomming database layer.

It was with some enthusiasm that we watched Teechart appear on our iPad, iPhone and Android devices!

Realtime control rendering

Posted on by Posted in Developers log, News

First taste of things to come: real time rendering of design controls. Since there is a delay between the actual rendering of the html graphics and the design movements, we will probably have a preview button that triggers the process. But all in all it is very nice to see our theories work out 🙂

Smart now renders the design controls via webkit

What is new in community beta 2?

Posted on by Posted in News 4 Comments

Below are some of the new features that has been added to Smart Mobile Studio community beta II. We hope you find our efforts in creating this product,a product that is both unique, innovative and extremely powerful, useful and interesting. Our customers can look forward to gestures, databases, even better browser support, Phone-Gap support and (last but not least) WebGL. We also aim for tight integration with classical Delphi server technology, like the Remobjects remoting framework and the C# websocket hub.

Beta1, components and layout

Posted on by Posted in News 11 Comments

It’s a been a while since we published anything about Smart Mobile Studio, but that doesn’t mean we have been resting on our laurels. Quite the opposite. We have been busy with the final step of the project – namely the visual designer. We know that people have been waiting for our first beta release – and you will not be disappointed! So while we are tinkering on the final bits, here is a status report of what we have been up to.

Smart hits the local news

Posted on by Posted in News

Last week we had a visitor from a Norwegian newspaper (Østlandsposten) that wanted to know more about Smart Mobile Studio. Today we found a nice surprise in the news – a whole page about Smart. Some of the technical issues have sadly been omitted and the reporter got a couple of things wrong (the paint example below was not made by us but rather donated by Primoz Gabrijelcic). But either way – its always nice to have our effort recognized.

Smart device orientation

Posted on by Posted in News

Primoz Gabrijelcic has published some very exciting code for working with iOS device orientation and movement. These features will of-course be a part of our RTL code base on release – but for now you can check out Primoz great examples and familiarize yourself with the concepts.

You can find the device orientation demo here. Also make sure you checkout Primoz website for interesting articles, advanced code and knockout components!

iPhone accelerometer in Smart

Posted on by Posted in News

Primoz Gabrijelcic have published a steady stream of examples since we released Smart Mobile Studio to the test group. This time he has coded a very nice app that demonstrates using the accelerometer and getting the orientation vectors of your iPhone or iPad.

Not your father's "hello world"

Not your father's "hello world"

The well known programming guru and author of Omni Thread Library, Primoz Gabrijelcic, have given the alpha version of Smart Mobile Studio a run for it’s money. He has produced two articles (in a planned series of articles) about how to implement a fully operational fractal explorer under Smart.

We consider it an honour to have Primoz giving our system a solid test-drive. Primoz Gabrijelcic is well known in the Delphi community for both his skill and insight into all things technical.

The first article can be found here:
