Through this acquisition, Appcelerator will provide next-gen application development by providing web developers with an enterprise-grade development platform to build rich native applications that integrate easily with the cloud.
Appcelerator said it will combine its web development community with Aptana’s web development community, to create an application development base of over 1,500,000 application developers.
