TL;DR
What is the right language, environment, or tool to use for your mobile or web app development? The answer is - it depends on the market, customers, their requirements, the industry, and your main competition. In this guide, we gathered the best tutorials made by our professionals to help you out in making this life-changing choice.
Quality developers are rather a rarity these days. That's why it can be challenging for the software industry to meet market needs on time. Yet, the lack of skillful resources can actually be beneficial. It starts the rapid search for ways of automating the job. And this is actually a reason for us seeing more and more low-code and no-code solutions appearing on the market as practical solutions to resolve the scarcity of expert developers, especially in the enterprise software market.
What if you could build software without having to be a professional coder? Well, that's what we'll be trying to prove in this article, as low code and no code tools are already taking the industry. So what are tools really are, and how can you benefit from them?
Node.js is an open-source, robust Javascript runtime environment used by the most significant market players like Netflix, Paypal, Uber, and hundreds of others to streamline their processes. In fact, almost every Fortune 500 company uses Node.js to some extent - all thanks to the environment's scalability, efficiency, speed, and lightweight.
However, there is much more to its benefits, and we want to uncover them in this article. And to do so, let's delve into the working mechanism of Node.js and discover the examples of Node.js apps based on their types. You can actually employ this all-rounder technology to build virtually any application you can imagine.
A boilerplate is a pack of reusable code pieces targeted at reducing the time to release a new product by implementing basic features and configuration files. For example, you're to plan to create a new blog. You could, of course, start from the very beginning and spend days setting up the required features. Or, you could use a boilerplate with a working blog with standard functionality, written in React.js, to expand and adjust them later with ease.
When you begin building a product using a boilerplate, you follow the proven code patterns and styles chosen by the creators of the boilerplate, which simplifies the process and guarantees a solid start.
Technology has obviously shaped the way we live in a drastic way. And this fact applies to the healthcare industry as much. People's health and health-related data is a sensitive topic which implies a slow and careful technological journey. Yet, with revolutionary technologies like Augmented Reality, healthcare could become an even more advanced and, as a result, more profitable industry.
With the variety of app hosting platforms existing nowadays, it's hard for mobile app producers to guarantee an up-to-par experience for all users. That's why app creators turn to cross-platform development when developing applications for many devices in one go.
The thing about cross-platform app development is that it allows programmers to share the complete or some bits of the code for various OS. As a result, it simplifies their job, also significantly cutting the development costs and time spent. In this article, we'll go through the different approaches to mobile app development and explain why Python is so often chosen for cross-platform development.
Web application scaling is wrongly considered to be one of the last stages of web app development. The number of your app users can rapidly increase at some point, and there's no guarantee you'll be prepared for this unless you are prepared with scaling in mind before releasing your web app.
If the right preparations are not made on time, the application's performance can degrade, which eventually will lead to losing potential clientele. Moreover, the cost and effort spent on scaling your web application will also reduce if you do it in advance.
In this article, we'll explain how one scales a web application and when it should be done.
Flask and Django - one of the most discussed Python frameworks out there. Both are used to develop web applications based on HTTP, REST, and GraphQL protocols. Django is much bigger than Flask, but both seem to have a great fan base and extensive documentation. Together they make up a significant part of the market among Python-based web applications.
And this is mainly the reason for those two frameworks being very often compared to each other. In this article, we'll try to explain the differences between them and suggest a better suited to your needs.
In the past, AR mobile app development was an expensive game to play. But now, it made a 180 turn. We already have plenty of tools to build it faster and at a lower cost. When it comes to users, they just need their mobile devices to use virtually any augmented reality app.
Replicating the success of AR filters introduced by social media and AR games like Pokémon GO!, augmented reality is now being used by more and more companies from various industries for marketing, sales, entertainment, and education sectors.
