Alpha Five Version 11 Feature Peek #29: Image gallery component
When you get your copy of Alpha Five Version 11, you'll notice something you haven't seen before -- our brand new image gallery component.
Image galleries are an important part of many mobile and web applications, but they're also a royal pain to code. At least they used to be. We designed this new component to make it easy for you to provide image galleries in your apps that look and feel the same way on any desktop, laptop, and mobile device.
For example, imagine a real estate app that displays a series of homes as you swipe through images on a tablet, smartphone, or any other device. When you find a home you like, you tap it and suddenly a GPS map pinpointing the home's location appears, along with pricing and other information.
Now imagine you're on a desktop. The same exact experience is available to you using your mouse or any other pointing device (mouse, trackball, multi-gesture touchpad, etc.). You built the app once, but people can experience it consistently on any device.
That's just one of myriad ways the image gallery component can make your applications more visual, more interactive, and frankly, more fun to use. It can add visual value to almost any business-related app.
Meeting the above specifications in the past would have been difficult, if not impossible, for many developers. But in Version 11, the image gallery component makes it so simple, you'll laugh. In this video, you'll watch how quickly an app like this can be built and see an example of a finished product.
But as always, I won't ask you to take my word for it. Go ahead and click the video to see just how easy it can be to add powerful and contemporary capabilities to your mobile applications in Version 11.
