Rhodes

Mobilize enterprise applications fast

Rhodes is an open source framework to rapidly build native apps for all major smartphone operating systems (iPhone, Windows Mobile, RIM, Symbian and Android). These are true native device applications (NOT mobile web apps) which work with synchronized local data and take advantage of device capabilities such as GPS, PIM contacts and camera. The Rhodes framework offers the following major benefits to developers:

Productivity

In general, developer productivity is much higher in Rhodes than writing to diverse native device operating systems and APIs since most of your UI customization can be done in HTML templates (ERB files).

Portability

A single set of source written with Rhodes can be compiled to run on all major smartphone devices: iPhone, Windows Mobile, Research in Motion (BlackBerry), Symbian and Android.

Device Capabilities

Rhodes also provides access to native device capabilities such as GPS geolocation, PIM contact reading and writing, and camera image capture.

Synced Data

Using the optional RhoSync server component, Rhodes applications also enabled offline and disconnected edit and access to data. They also optimized for interacting with SaaS backends.

Hosted Development

You can write your app online and build there for all major smartphone operating systems with RhoHub.

Sample Apps

See our GitHub repository for all of the sample apps. We have a couple of builds for the RhoCRM SugarCRM sample app below. Use the following instructions for configuring to your own SugarCRM instance.
