Brightcove Open Sources App Cloud, Bets Big On Dual-Screen Apps For Apple TV

It was just a year ago that video distribution specialist Brightcove announced it was entering a new market, with a cloud-based product for quickly building multiplatform mobile applications called App Cloud. Well at this year's annual Play conference, Brightcove will make App Cloud available for free with an open source license. It's also making a set of tools available that it hopes will push forward the dual-screen applications market. Brightcove's App Cloud is basically like a WYSIWYG editor for app development, designed to allow developers to roll out rich apps for both iOS and Android mobile phones and tablets with a minimum amount of actual programming required. App Cloud provides templates to get developers up and running quickly, but which can also be customized with native code. Once built, App Cloud also contains Brightcove's Workshop debugging tool, so that users can test and preview apps natively on the device and make changes in real-time, before submitting to the App Store or Google Play.
