When you develop your app with MobileFirst
tools, you must develop or configure a variety of components and elements. Learning about the
components and elements involved when developing your app helps your development proceed
smoothly.
Applications
Applications are built for a target MobileFirst Server.
They have a server-side configuration on the target server. You must
register your applications on the MobileFirst Server before
you can configure them.
MobileFirst Server
The server side of your mobile app is MobileFirst Server. MobileFirst Server gives you access to features like application management and application
security, as well giving your mobile app secure access to your other backend
systems through adapters.
Adapters
Adapters in IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation securely
connect your back-end systems to client applications and cloud services.
