Facilitating workflow application development

1. A system comprising:

a domain expert component library stored on a non-transitory computer readable storage device of a computing device having a processor, the component library containing connectable components that create a mobile workflow sequence for generating an executable mobile workflow application having a multi-primary user interface;

a domain expert user interface coupled to the domain expert component library to facilitate assembly of the connectable components in the workflow sequence; and

a developer user interface configured to:

receive an intermediate representation of the mobile workflow application based on the assembled workflow sequence, and

provide a software programming language environment to perform data manipulation changes to the intermediate representation to generate the mobile workflow based application;

wherein both the domain expert user interface and the developer user interfaces are each configured to receive user input or output information to a user for generating the mobile workflow based application; and

wherein the connectable components each have a parameter that is modifiable via the domain expert user interface, wherein the parameter comprises a view that can be rendered on a primary user interface of the multi-primary user interface.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the domain expert user interface causes a display to present the components as workflow activity objects which a user can:

drag and drop onto a workbench, and

draw connections between objects on the workbench.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the workflow sequence includes a loop.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the workflow sequence includes a dependent branch.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the domain expert user interface excludes defining details of logical manipulation of data.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the developer user interface includes software programming language environment that provides for detailed manipulation of data associated with the connectable components.

7. The system of claim 1 , comprising a developer component library coupled to the developer user interface and storing developer created components and components that are data manipulation intensive.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the developer user interface stores changes to the intermediate representation separate from the intermediate representation.

9. A method comprising:

providing a component library containing connectable components that create a mobile workflow sequence for generating a mobile workflow application having a multi-primary user interface;

receiving a component selected from a domain expert component library;

displaying the selected component with previously selected components in a workflow sequence via a domain expert user interface;

receiving a connection request to connect components in the workflow sequence;

providing an intermediate representation of the workflow sequence to a developer user interface; and

tracking and storing component data manipulation related changes to the intermediate representation;

wherein both the domain expert user interface and the developer user interfaces are each configured to receive user input or output information to a user; and

wherein the components each have a parameter that is modifiable via the domain expert user interface, wherein the parameter comprises a view that can be rendered on a primary user interface of a mobile workflow application having a multi-primary user interface.

10. The method of claim 9 , comprising:

receiving a domain expert selection for the parameter; and

incorporating the parameter selection into the workflow sequence.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data manipulation related changes are stored independent from the intermediate representation.

12. The method of claim 9 , comprising generating a mobile device workflow application from the data manipulation related changes and the intermediate representation.

13. The method of claim 12 , comprising switching between the domain expert user interface and the developer user interface to iteratively modify the application.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving a component selected from a domain expert component library, the component library containing connectable components that create a mobile workflow sequence for generating a mobile workflow application having a multi-primary user interface;

displaying the selected component with previously selected components in a workflow sequence via a domain expert user interface module;

receiving a connection request to connect components in the workflow sequence;

providing an intermediate representation of the workflow sequence to a developer user interface module; and

tracking and storing component data manipulation related changes to the intermediate representation;

wherein both the domain expert user interface and the developer user interfaces are each configured to receive user input or output information to a user; and

wherein the components each have a parameter that is modifiable via the domain expert user interface, wherein the parameter comprises a view that can be rendered on a primary user interface of a mobile workflow application having a multi-primary user interface.

15. The computer readable storage device of claim 14 , comprising:

receiving a domain expert selection for the parameter; and

incorporating the parameter selection into the workflow sequence.

16. The computer readable storage device of claim 14 , wherein the data manipulation related changes are stored without changing the intermediate representation.

17. The method of claim 14 , comprising:

switching between the domain expert user interface and the developer user interface to iteratively modify the intermediate representation and the data manipulation related changes; and

generating a mobile device workflow application from the data manipulation related changes and the intermediate representation.
