FeedHenry launches it's WikiFeedia to help navigate Enterprise Mobility buzzwords

BURLINGTON, Mass., July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- As enterprise mobility quickly evolves so also are the terms, buzzwords and acronyms multiplying. For business leaders trying to navigate the seas of Mobile Application Platforms, MBaaS, API Management and more, FeedHenry has launched a lexicon of common enterprise mobility terms and acronyms, otherwise known as the WikiFeedia, and available onlineor as adownloadable PDF. While this alphabet soup is not all-inclusive, some of the most common terms are to be found. Take the fast-growing server-side JavaScript, Node.js, as an example:

·      Node.js — An implementation of server-side JavaScript that has gained a lot of traction and has a very active and engaged community. Node is built on Google's V8 JavaScript Engine that was developed for the Chrome browser in the late 2000s. The primary architectural feature of the language is "callbacks" that allow easy implementation of pseudo-parallelism, allowing code blocks to execute in parallel rather than in sequence. This allows Node.js to be very efficient to be used for "non-blocking I/O" to help code run efficiently whilst waiting for Input/Output operations to complete. So for this type of "I/O bound" computation, Node.js is one of the most efficient ways to code solutions. For "CPU bound" computation problems Node.js does not offer a big advantage over alternatives (Java, C# .NET, etc.). In general middleware integration needed to enable web applications and mobile applications tend to be "I/O bound" rather than "CPU bound" and so Node.js is a good choice for these problems.

There's also an occasional FeedHenry-specific term, such as the popular Drag & Drop App Forms Builder

·      Drag & Drop Forms Builder — A User Interface (UI) that allows users to create a form, capturing data, images, etc. to replace traditional paper-based forms, but without the need for developer coding skills. Easy drag and drop building allows the user to quickly create or prototype a form as an app on a device. The Form can leverage mobile features such as capturing location, time, photos and signatures and is powerful for any transaction- or form-based processes. The Forms Builder leverages the Build Farm for iOS and Android hybrid apps that implement the form-based app.

Many more definitions are given in this user-friendly guide to aid the business reader in this fast-evolving mobility market. The online WikiFeedia will be regularly updated at http://www.feedhenry.com/mobile-application-platform-lexicon-for-enterprise/.
