Hey everyone,
I'm currently trying to wrap my head around a lot of AeroGear and JBoss
technologies, so I spent some time rearranging/rewording things that
weren't very clear to me on the aerogear.org home page. At first as an
excercise to get a better understanding about AeroGear myself, but I
think everybody will benefit from having easier to understand home page
content.
I've rearrange some parts to create a better flow without removing any
of the current content. Here are the most important changes:
- Stick to one paragraph per "topic"
- Add action link below each paragraph to more resources
- Add links to Wikipedia pages for certain acronyms, as not everybody
may be familiar with all the acronyms used (even experienced developers)
- Expand certain acronyms to their full meaning
Let me know what you think needs improving/adding/removing (or please
correct things that I got wrong), and if this could potentially be
intergrated to the site.
Feedback appreciated!
Thanks,
Hylke

= Bring Mobile and Enterprise together! =
*** AeroGear let's Android, iOS, and (hybrid) web apps talk to your
JBoss Aplication Server. ***
We are not specific to any back end so we won't mention JBoss here.
Get started with a library for your platform…
Is that line really necessary?
[[---platform buttons here---]]
== Why? ==
Again, is this necessary? What does it add? Both of those lines add more vertical scroll
on mobile devices so I don't see the benefit, if any, outweighing that.
=== Unify mobile development ===
AeroGear provides flexible and extensible libraries to simplify mobile
development across platforms and cut common repetitive infrastructure
tasks. Integrate with the most exotic of endpoints.
[[ Get started >> ]]
Where would this link go? We have multiple paths for getting started, thus, the platform
buttons at the top.
=== Simple API ===
Talking to [[ RESTful ]] (1) backends couldn't be easier. We've
abstracted all of the plumbing into a simple programmatic API for doing
[[ CRUD ]] (2) operations and paginating large amounts of data.
[[ Browse API documentation >> ]]
Which set of API docs? Each platform has their own, again, we have the buttons at the
top.
=== Mobility and security, both ===
Integrate with your existing enterprise environment. AeroGear provides
Two-Factor Authentication and One-Time-Password features to improve your
application's security.
[[ Learn about AeroGear Security >> ]]
=== Easy server routing ===
Define HTTP routes with a simple Java Internal [[ Domain-Specific
Language ]] (3). The perfect fit for client-heavy applications where you
have very few entry points and delegate logic to the client tiers.
[[ Learn about AeroGear Controller >> ]]
I will leave security and controller comments to Bruno and Dan. These changes would also
probably require imagery changes as well.
