Canappi Simplifies iPhone and Android App Development

The purpose behind the Canappi mobile application development platform is one that many tools have in common–making it easier for developers to create cross platform mobile apps. Their latest addition to the platform is support for Android apps, with Windows Phone 7 support coming soon.

The founder of Canappi, Jean-Jacques Dubray, says his inspiration was a project he began with his son. He explained the project, and frustration he felt, stating that “My son and I tried to build an application last fall, Wikityo. I could not believe how hard it was to build just a 4-screen app. What could have been a fun ‘father-n-son’ project turned out to be nearly impossible and very frustrating.”

Dubray created his own dedicated programming language called mobile-dsl (mdsl), which is used to generate the native iOS and Android code for an application.
