In a more dynamic market than ever, enterprises want their line-of-business applications to be accessible at any time from any device without sacrificing quality, agility, and time-to-market. This is why we are thrilled to announce our support for building cross-browser, mobile web clients with Visual Studio LightSwitch!
The new HTML5 and JavaScript-based client is an important companion to our Silverlight-based desktop client that addresses the increasing need to build touch-oriented business applications that run well on modern mobile devices. Visual Studio LightSwitch is the easiest way to create modern line-of-business applications for the enterprise – and with support for HTML5 and the new SharePoint Apps model, you can also now build SharePoint 2013 apps with LightSwitch.
