Tool available as a free download
Apple has introduced a new developer utility, iAd Producer, that will allow users to create content for the company's advertising platform. The Mac app integrates a visual editor that provides a graphic representation of the ad layout and structure, including the HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript elements on individual pages.
Users can access a number of page templates for content such as maps, image carousels, or cover flow presentations. Animations, effects, and components are also provided in several libraries, which are said to eliminate the need to write code. Projects can then be validated and run through a JavaScript debugger before being submitted to the iAd network.
iAd Producer is now available as a free download for members of the iOS developer program.
