About Codename One

Codename One was founded by Shai Almog & Chen Fishbein with the purpose of making mobile device development possible & practical for all developers.

When reviewing the current solutions in the market it became apparent that there is a serious problem when developers try to build applications for all devices and that the situation is getting worse (fragmentation rather than consolidation). We decided to build Codename One based on our vast experience in the mobile industry where we worked with every major operator, most major device manufacturers and were responsible for a few of the most successful mobile development environments.

Codename One combines the pieces we have been working on for the past 5 years into a single coherent product that provides the ease of development desktop developers have enjoyed for a decade to mobile developers all over the world.
