App Development
App Development is all about making Apps for iPhone and Android devices.
In terms of how applications work on a smartphone, mobile apps may be divided into three categories:
- Native Apps - They are designed for specific operating systems such as Android, iOS, and Windows. Apps make use of device features such as RAM, camera, GPS, and so on.
- Cross Platform/Hybrid Apps - Hybrid apps are applications that are launched on a smartphone in the same way that every other application is. What sets them apart is that hybrids combine features from native apps and with components from web apps.
- Web Apps - A Web app is software that is kept in a distant location and distributed via the Web using a browser interface. Emails, online shopping sales, auction sites, weblogs, instant messaging apps, and other web apps are popular.
