>> mfLY!^® for Visual Studio^®2008

mfLY!^® for Visual Studio 2008 is a Windows Mobile MVC Framework and Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) that extends Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2008 to provide unsurpassed guidance and efficiency for developing enterprise-grade Windows and Windows mobile solutions.

Building upon Microsoft’s best-in-class integrated development environment and leveraging the power of the .NET Framework, mfLY! enables organizations to utilize their existing IT development investments and resources.  mfLY! significantly enhances the speed and quality of developing your enterprise Windows and Windows mobile solutions while reducing risk through the embodiment of more than 20 years of experience from one of the leaders in enterprise mobility.

mfLY! intelligently implements the Model-View-Controller pattern that compartmentalizes applications into domain objects (models), views, and controllers.  A workflow engine provides easy to implement navigation, which comes with the added bonus of runtime optimizations.  In addition, the decoupled event framework substantially increases the flexibility, maintainability, and reuse of resulting solution components.

mfLY!’s ingenious designers and editors deliver a highly intuitive visual programming experience.  By having the underlying workflow and synchronization code automatically generated by mfLY!, mobile application developers can focus on creating business solutions instead of a mobile infrastructure.

Windows and Windows mobile solutions developed with mfLY! for Visual Studio 2008 are immediately supported by and work seamlessly with other mNOW!-based products such as mCORE!™, which provide the full range of enterprise services mandatory for true enterprise-grade mobile solutions.
