Mobile application development is a widely used term denoting the process by which application software is developed for mobile devices such as personal digital assistants, mobile phones, and enterprise digital assistants. Mobile app development is a challenging set of processes and procedures, involving writing software for small, fast wireless computing devices, such as tablets and/or smartphones. Building a mobile app can be a challenging experience for the first time.
Experts believe that mobile app development is quite similar to web app development and has its origins in traditional software development. However, there is an interpretive difference, the mobile application is sometimes written specifically to take advantage of the distinctive features that a specific mobile device provides. For example, a game application can be written to take advantage of the iPhone’s accelerometer. It is a great process of creating or building a strong and scalable mobile application to run on different mobile platforms. A mobile platform is nothing more than a mobile operating system.
Future of mobile app development
Apple’s mobile operating system is known as iOS. Google’s mobile operating system is known as Android, RIM has its Blackberry, and Windows has its own Windows Mobile operating system. Each operating system has its own set of rules, regulations, and requirements for creating a mobile app. For example, Apple’s iOS mobile apps require the use of Objective C, but Android mobile apps use Java. This is one of the essential things to understand, because when you build an app for the purpose of developing a mobile app on different mobile platforms, you can’t just build an app and port it to the next platform.
In the future, most mobile app development efforts are expected to focus heavily on building browser-based apps that are sometimes called device-independent. Browser-based applications are websites that are typically built for mobile browsers. Such websites are made to load quickly over a powerful cellular network and have user-friendly features or finger-friendly navigation.
