Mobile Integrated Development

Mobile App Backend

...
Mobile application development is a term used to denote the act or process by which application software is developed for handheld devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones.Application software developers also have to consider a lengthy array of screen sizes, hardware specifications and configurations because of intense competition in mobile software and changes within each of the platforms.As part of the development process, Mobile User Interface (UI) Design is also an essential in the creation of mobile apps. Mobile UI considers constraints & contexts, screen, input and mobility as outlines for design. The mobile back-end facilitates data routing, security, authentication, authorization, working off-line, and service orchestration. This functionality is supported by a mix of middleware components including mobile app servers, Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS), and SOA infrastructure.

Restful API's Development

...
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a software architecture style consisting of guidelines and best practices for creating scalable web services.REST is a coordinated set of constraints applied to the design of components in a distributed hypermedia system that can lead to a more performant and maintainable architecture.RESTful systems typically,but not always,communicate over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol with the same HTTP verbs (GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,etc.) used by web browsers to retrieve web pages and send data to remote servers.application programming interface (API) is a set of routines,protocols,and tools for building software applications.The REST API is designed to be easily accessible from any programming language – once you understand the basic concepts of the API,you will be able to apply them to PHP,Ruby,.NET,or any other environment.The World Wide Web represents the largest implementation of a system conforming to the REST architectural style.

Progressive Web Apps

...
In our mobie devices we cannot install every app from marketplace. For example there are many online store applications. For each purchase we cannot install one. But we do visit those websites frequently. In that case there is a new solution called "Progressive Web Apps " which is platform and device independent. The UI and other resources will be stored in your browser cache and required data only has to be requested from server. The browser will provide you the option to add shortcut on your device home screen. Google recently encouraging this approcach and many websites started to implement this already. We advise our clients as well

PhoneGap

...
PhoneGap is a open source framework to create mobile apps using standardized web APIs for the platforms.It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in iOS, Windows Phone, or Android. It enables wrapping up of HTML, CSS and Javascript code depending upon the platform of the device. It extends the features of HTML and Javascript to work with the device.The software underlying PhoneGap is Apache Cordova.The software was previously called just "PhoneGap",then "Apache Callback".As open-source software, Apache Cordova allows non-Adobe wrappers around it, such as Intel XDK or Appery.io.PhoneGap includes basic plugins that allow access to the device's accelerometer,camera,microphone,compass,file system,and more.PhoneGap is also able to be extended with native plug-ins that allow for developers to add functionality that can be called from JavaScript, allowing for direct communication between the native layer and the HTML5 page
