Sam Schillace to Advise Application Craft
(PRWEB) October 7, 2010
Application Craft today announced that Sam Schillace, creator of Google Docs and co-founder of new venture Restartle, is joining Application Craft as an Advisor. Launched at Tech Crunch Disrupt 2010 and currently in Public Beta, Application Craft radically shortens development cycles for even complex data-driven desktop and mobile applications. Importantly, Application Craftâs drag and drop Data Graphs and built-in collaboration tools allow an unparalleled level of involvement by Citizen Developers in the application development process. By eliminating the user/developer gulf, Application Craft reduces strain on development teams, promotes on-time and on-budget projects and blurs the boundary between content and applications.
Schillace led the Google Docs team after Google acquired Upstartle, the company he co-founded to bring the collaborative word processor Writely to market. Before leaving Google in June 2010 to found Restartle, he led the Internet giantâs Gmail and Apps team as Senior Engineering Director.
“I have seen how fast the Application Craft team has built a really superb product over the last year,â said Mr. Schillace. âIt is a genuine enabler for a new class of application developer and I think it will result in some major changes to the desktop and mobile application development landscape. I am excited to be involved with Application Craft during these early, formative days.”
âYou would be hard pressed to find a software entrepreneur with as much SaaS and PaaS expertise as Sam Schillace,â said Freddy May, Application Craft Founder and CEO. âI have benefited greatly from Samâs counsel over the past year and I am delighted that Application Craft will continue to do so now that he has joined as a formal company Advisor.â
