Tactile Developer's Guide

The Tactile Developer's Guide introduces you to the Netbiscuits Cloud Platform and how to efficiently build optimized and tailored mobile web pages for high-end mobile devices without sacrificing creativity. The guide first introduces you to prerequisites to building high-end mobile web pages with the Platform. It then presents you with important Netbiscuits concepts, offers various use-case documents on how to achieve mobile web development objectives, extends tips on debugging the assets used in the creation of your mobile web pages, and lists and answers frequently-asked questions related to using the Netbiscuits Platform to create these high-end mobile web pages.

Enterprise Development Capability Tools Guide

The Enterprise Development Capability Tools Guide introduces you to rich tools aimed at elevating your development, testing, and production processes by providing enterprise-class flexibility, efficiency, and security as you develop mobile web solutions and interfaces on a mass scale through the Netbiscuits Platform. These tools include FTP-Enabled Standard Applications, a local development proxy known as Livebridge, and an Application Management API.

Device Context Service Guide

The Device Context Service Guide introduces you to libraries, tools, and web services aimed at helping you secure device context information on requesting devices and thereby, empowering you to deliver customized and optimized mobile web experiences to your end users. The Device Context Service includes a Classifier, with a Java and Apache Module; a Java Detection Client; a JavaScript Plugin; and a Cloud Service.

JavaScript Library

The JavaScript Library features a list of classes and objects that can be defined and subsequently transcoded by the Netbiscuits Platform to produce optimized JavaScript code tailored to match the capabilities of high-end requesting devices. Moreover, these classes and objects enable developers to introduce and manipulate the HTML-based UI elements generated from transcoded developer-generated assets on the client side.

BiscuitML Tactile Reference

The BiscuitML Reference features a library of structural elements and Biscuits (UI elements) that can be defined within developer-generated XML files that will be transcoded by the Netbiscuits Platform to create mobile web pages that are girded with the ability to degrade gracefully and match the capabilities of requesting devices.
