Charles Jolley, the developer behind SproutCore, has left Apple to start Strobe Digital Publishing (http://www.strobeapp.com/), a new business targeting touch-driven web applications, reports "AppleInsider" (http://www.appleinsider.com). Both Apple and Strobe will continue to advance SproutCore as a core asset, the article adds.
SproutCore is a Javascript framework that runs entirely in the browser. It’s designed to be run against any server back-end setup. At SproutIt, the company originally behind it, they used Rails as the backend. They facilitated the connection through a custom Rails plug-in that’s included with the SproutCore framework.
In other words, SproutCore is a light Cocoa alternative for deploying web apps that look and feel like Mac OS X desktop apps. It was reportedly used to build some parts of Apple's MobileMe suite of Internet services.
As for Strobe Digital Publishing, Jolley says it will concentrate on the iPad and HTML5.  In a blog (http://charlesjolley.sys-con.com/node/1451855), he had this to say:
"In many ways, the iPad is the perfect web device.  It’s a lean-back experience optimized around consuming content. With HTML5 (which mobile Safari does better than just about anything else), the kind of experience you can create on these devices is just really spectacular. You only need to use the NPR demo we wrote earlier this year for a few minutes to realize this is obviously the future of software.
"For this reason I decided about a month ago to leave Apple and form a new company centered around helping companies bring great native-style app experiences to mobile device.  The center of this company, of course, is SproutCore."
HTML5 is being developed as the next major revision of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the core markup language of the web. It's touted as the next standard for HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0 and DOM Level 2 HTML and is designed to to reduce the need for proprietary plug-in-based rich internet application (RIA) technologies such as Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, and Sun JavaFX.

IDV Solutions Releases HTML 5
IDV Solutions Releases HTML 5 Map Viewer for iPad
Lansing, MI, July 21, 2010
IDV Solutions today announced the launch of TransportationWatch, a touch-enabled web application highlighting data pertinent to the transportation safety. TransportationWatch consists of an interactive map that invites the user to explore data sets used by government agencies in crisis response, situational awareness, and homeland security. The HTML 5 interface provides new and innovative ways to interact with government information on an iPad, an iPhone, or other touch-enabled device.
TransportationWatch is built on Visual Fusion software from IDV Solutions. Visual Fusion is used to quickly build business intelligence applications that unite disparate data into interactive web-based data visualizations (maps, timelines, and analytics) for superior context, rapid insight, and decisive action.
“More and more organizations are adopting touch-enabled devices in the enterprise,” commented Ian Clemens, IDV Solutions CTO. “Many of our customers are interested in an iPad version of Visual Fusion. TransportationWatch is touch computing in action.”
TransportationWatch leverages the power of Bing Maps for displaying all the interactive content in the context of location. This public version of data sources commonly used by government agencies presents a cross section of data, such as seaports, airports, current weather, historic hurricanes, and nautical charts. TransportationWatch also has a Silverlight version counterpart for users without access to a touch-enabled device, and the application smartly determines which of the two versions to load based on the user’s browser. The application is open to the public and available at http://vfdemo.idvsolutions.com/transportation/ .
