Major Release from AppForge, Crossfire 5.5
AppForge recently announced a major release of their flagship product, Crossfire. Crossfire is a cross platform development enviromnent that snaps into Visual Studio .NET. Up until this point developers have been left to use only VB.NET when using the Crossfire libraries. With the new release the company adds support for C#, a decision that will prove itself to be very wise, I am sure.
Among the new features I also note support for the hot and upcoming technology RFID. "With Crossfire's support for radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, developers can now use Visual Basic or Visual C# to create barcode or RFID applications for industrial mobile devices."
The article that reports about this announcement concludes: "Other new Crossfire 5.5 features include support for Microsoft Windows-based Smartphone devices, the Motorola A1000 smartphone, and Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition features such as landscape mode. With cross-platform support for over 300 mobile devices, Crossfire effectively "future-proofs" companies against rising device diversity in the enterprise, AppForge said."
I've tested Crossfire thoroughly and my conclusion is that IF cross platform development is a must for you as a developer then Crossfire is the way to go.
