At the recent M-Enterprise Boston event, where 50 senior-level IT executives gathered with innovators in the mobile industry to learn what is coming next and how to apply it to their business, Alpha Software CTO Dan Bricklin gave several interviews. This week, Brian Katz, Director, EUC Mobility Strategy, Office of the CTO at VMware, posted his interview with Bricklin.

In the interview, Bricklin talks about what Alpha Software does, and the Alpha Anywhere rapid mobile application development and deployment environment enables people to do.  He explains that Alpha Anywhere allows people who don’t know to program to build mobile apps that they can deploy on a range of smartphones and tablets.  He talks about why low-code will radically change how companies can mobilize their business processes. Brickiln also discusses his recent Alpha WatchBench app for prototyping apps on the Apple Watch. The conversations gets very interesting when Bricklin and Katz go on to debate how hard it is to develop a mobile app.
