Do I need to have Blackberry Enterprise Server for developing internet based applcns.
Please Login to Remove!
I have a restaurant website. The functionality of that site is searching for food items(in a particular hotel) and ordering it. I am developing a stand alone version which can be installed on the blackberry device. Users registered with the web version can use the stand alone blackberry version, with the same authentication details as of the web version.
The question I would like to ask is
1) What all softwares I need to host this application?
2) Are these softwares free or payable?
3) If it is free, where can I download these softwares from?
4) If it is not free, what are the price details? Are there any alternatives other than purchasing(any hosting agencies?).
5) Do i need to have these hosting softwares during the development phase or can I check the applications with the emulator while we develop?
Thanks in advance for all the valuable help and comments.
What you need on the server-side to serve up the data is up to you. Sounds like the first thing you need to do is hire a consultant who knows BlackBerry and server-side development.
I have been writing and compiling code, dumping it to the device and testing on the Blackberry, but then, I am not paying for the connections and I am making SOAP requests to the web service that has been used by applications used by tens if not hundreds of thousands of users for several years.
From billing and development prespectives I think BES would be better, but I can't get it to work here.
