Designing My Mobile Organizer
Frank W. Zammetti · Apress eBooks · 2013
Designing a mobile app is no easy task! The wide variety of devices in the world makes it difficult to target them all effectively. Because of this, one of the more popular paradigms for mobilizing an app is to use the same technologies you build websites with: HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS. Doing so is, for most companies and developers nowadays, a good reuse of existing knowledge and skills. However, even after making the seemingly simple decision to follow that path, there are still a bewildering number of technology choices to be made. Do you write all the code of the app running on the mobile device, or do you use a library to save you time? There are pluses and minuses to both answers. On the server, what technology do you use? Do you go with Java, PHP, or maybe Ruby on Rails? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
