Forum | Appery.io

I just finished reading the blog post that is highlighted at the top of the appery home page: http://blog.appery.io/2015/03/appery-...

After reading this I am confused & concerned and have several questions:

1. The post mentions the new builder with angular/bootstrap but the goes on to mention these are only in beta. So has the product site been modified with the new builder? If not when is it planned to migrate to the new builder?

2. I know nothing about angular/bootstrap, in fact I still have a good bit to learn about jquery mobile. So I would like to know when the angular/bootstrap builder is production ready will existing jquery mobile apps continue to work? If not what is the migration path? And wil custom javascript that was written to manipulate jquery mobile components continue to work?

3. If both jquery mobile and angular/bootstrap frameworks will be available in the builder it would be great to have some direction from appery on the relative pros & cons of each framework and which would work best for your customer's needs. Whenever a new framework is introduced it worries me that the old one is being phased out. With the introduction of angular/bootstrap does appery plan to continue to develop & enhanced the jquery mobile builder as well or will all future efforts be put in to angular/js?

Hello Greg.
1) Now Appery.io has two editors:
a) Based on Jquery Mobile
b) based on Angular
There will not more migrations. Two branches will work separately.

2) No migration needed. Angular is for more advanced users, how can write js code, and have time learn new frameworks, to improve their app performance.

3) JQM has several limits comparing to Angular and some differences.
With Angular you can be able to create your own templates for page's components and map LSV and responses to it. Also Angulra has different events handler. JQM is more friendly to users, and most of the work like components and event handling and code generation already done.
