Welcome to Alpha Anywhere, the Rapid Application Development platform for building and deploying mobile, web, and desktop business applications. This Getting Started section is aimed at people who are new to Alpha Anywhere. It provides a high-level overview of the Alpha Anywhere platform and its key features. It also features several Getting Started Tutorials that provide detailed step-by-step instructions for building your first mobile or web application.
What is Alpha Anywhere?
Alpha Anywhere is a platform for developers of varying skill sets to create and deploy business applications for mobile devices and desktop/web. The platform has two parts, a developer for building applications and a server for deploying them. Applications can either be run in a web browser or they can be installed as an application on a mobile device. For more details and a video, see the Alpha Anywhere Technical Overview page.
What are the Key Features?
Alpha Anywhere has a deep feature set for all aspects of application development, including data integration, offline support, cross-platform support, reporting, touch screen and rich data support, security, and much more.
Data Integration
Alpha Anywhere applications can perform CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations from virtually any data source, including SQL-type databases, NoSQL databases, and web services. For details, see the Data Integration page. |
Offline Support With Synchronization
Alpha Anywhere includes technology that allows applications to work in an offline/disconnected mode. When a connection is restored, the data that is entered is synched to a server. Applications can also store downloaded data for offline use that can be edited while offline. In cases of conflict, where a record is changed by two or more users, Alpha provides a system to intelligently manage conflicts. For details, see the Offline Data Capture and Synchronization page. |
Cross Platform / Cross Device Support
Because Alpha Anywhere builds HTML5/JavaScript applications, they can be run on practically any device that has a web browser, including desktop and laptop Mac/PCs, smart phones, and tablets. On mobile devices, Alpha Anywhere applications can be installed as native applications and can access the the devices' hardware. For more details see the Technical Overview page. |
Reporting
Alpha Anywhere includes a banded report-writer that can create sophisticated reports from a variety of data sources. The reports can be generated as PDF, HTML, Excel files and in other formats. Reports can be displayed on screen, in an application, or they can be automatically emailed. Alpha Anywhere can also run reports built using Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services.

Rich User Experience
Alpha Anywhere supports very rich user interfaces for both desktop/mobile and web applications. Applications can include maps, charts, gauges, and special controls. There are also ink controls for drawing on a touch screen, image annotation for making notes on pictures, a signature capture control, and support for all audio and video. |
Security
Alpha Anywhere Programmers
Alpha Anywhere includes a role-based security framework, encryption functions, SSL support, and can use the security features built into IIS and the .NET framework. For details, see the Security Section on the main Alpha Anywhere website. |

- Installing an SSL Server Certificate
Description
Alpha Anywhere Books
When you receive the SSL Server Certificate:
Ensure that your Certificate Authority (CA) provided the certificate in the standard X.509 format. If your CA does not list the specific certificate format, but instead lists the servers with which the certificate is compatible, choose an Apache compatible certificate.
Open a new document in a text editor and paste the certificate text.
Save the new document as ASCII text with any name you would like, although the standard convention is to use a file extension of .CRT or .CER.
Once you have saved this file, open the Application Server Control Panel.
Display the SSL Tab.
Enter the path and name of the certificate file (that you just created) in the SSL Certificate File text box.
Specify the matching key file in the Private Key File text box.
Whether or not you need to specify a password (in the Private Key Password text box) depends on if you assigned one when you generated the key file.
Your Certification Authority will also tell you if you need to specify a certificate chain file in the Certificate Chain File text box.
Below are links to the documentation for common Certification Authorities.
