Over 1,000 Academic Institutions Now Employ Appery.io to Train Student Developers
Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) October 14, 2015 -- Appery, LLC today announced that it will offer academic institutions around the world an opportunity to teach students how to code using Appery.io, the first complete mobile integration platform for development and delivery of cross-device applications. This announcement marks a milestone for Appery, LLC, which is now being used in over 1,000 academic institutions to train student developers. The demand for Appery.io in the classroom is in response to a growing trend in the enterprise that requires professionals across departments – from IT to sales and marketing – to build mobile apps. As the need for mobile apps in the enterprise increases, Appery.io is the ideal choice for students due to its simplicity and speed.
“Our work with top business and engineering academic institutions ensures that students are equipped with the mobile development skills they will need as they enter the workforce," said Fima Katz, CEO of Appery, LLC, makers of Appery.io. “Partnering with these schools and universities provides an exciting opportunity for Appery.io to extend its offering as the most complete mobile app development platform into the education sector, a decision that will help shape the leading developers of our future.”
Unique to Appery.io is the ability to build with visual development tools while still providing access to the code. Students in a business curriculum can build complete apps using visual tools while students in IT can write code. In addition, Appery.io’s team capabilities enable faculty members to assign platform resources to student teams, while students can easily collaborate with each other to complete their mobile apps. Students can also share their apps with teaching assistants and faculty to streamline grading and feedback.
Students at over 1,000 academic institutions have already benefited from using Appery.io as their app development platform. Of note, the University of Hawaii’s Shidler College of Business – which ranked amongst the nation’s top international business programs in 2014 – and Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), the largest system of universities in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with 17 campuses and over 20,000 students, both use Appery.io in their classrooms.
“Our partnership with Appery follows the implementation of M-government, a UAE initiative that aims to deliver all government services to the community via mobile devices,” said Dr. Hamad Odhabi, Executive Dean at Higher Colleges of Technology. “Appery.io enables our faculty members to prepare our student body for the increased demand of mobile applications in both the private and public sector in the UAE.”
"We chose Appery.io because the development platform was superior to others we tried. With its ability to easily integrate to so many third party APIs and its visual development environment, business majors with no prior programming experience are able to create meaningful mobile applications in one semester," said Dr. Richard Halverson, Adjunct Professor at the Shidler College of Business, University of Hawaii. "For our MIS majors, the flexibility of being able to add any amount of custom code and to integrate to our own server side APIs made it perfect for teaching client-side JavaScript programming as well."
