In the last five years, the number of mobile app development companies and languages used to develop mobile apps have increased in in leaps and bounds, changing the way businesses function worldwide. Enterprises and Entrepreneurs are aligning mobile solutions to raise productivity and break the monotony of regular customer service with a high-end mobile solution available across various platforms. This poses a great challenge for business owners to bring the idea alive on all device to cover a maximum number of users. Now, the question arises how to get this done when there are multiple numbers of devices and even greater number of technologies to choose from. Thankfully, mobile app developers worldwide keep introducing new technologies and languages to cope up with the situation and make it easier to handle. The guide below will help you choose the right mobile app development coding language. By the end of this guide, you will have one thing absolutely clear in your mind – what language you will use for your app development project:

Swift

Many believe that the language will be one of the most used languages and has all the potential to reshape the future.

Released in June 2014 by Apple, Swift has gained immense popularity across all the possible realms of the iOS mobile app and Web development. With latest framework and libraries, the tool becomes the primary choice for developers which allows to code with Objective C. The language forays into the apple ecosystem with efficient APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Apple has been ingraining all the possibilities to reduce all the scope for vulnerabilities associated with Objective C. There are so many other attractions when the language is used for coding cutting-edge mobile apps.

According to TNW, Swift is one of the fastest-growing languages. Google is also considering to include Swift as their official language for coding Android apps and if the prediction is true, the demand for Swift developers will skyrocket than any other popular language.

Meanwhile. the language is used to code iOS and Apple web for all the available platforms but since it’s open source and available for use. It will be beneficial for those who pick up the language early in time.

JavaScript + HTML

JavaScript is one of the third most popular languages used world wide to create application up above client could imagine. When used in combination with HTML, the amalgamation becomes more powerful and has greater benefits for mobile apps.Both are religiously used by developers to create different types of application including games.

HTML is one of the most prominent languages when it comes to web development. With simpler ways to insert complex data types, HTML is a preferred choice of top web developers. Whereas JavaScript is popular to be used on multiple platforms.

PHP

HyperText Preprocessor (PHP) is an open source server side scripting language developed by Zend technologies in 1995. Initially, the language was used for building websites but now it’s used for general purpose programming.

server side scripting, command line scripting and for coding applications. Using PHP, the app can be used to write complete Android, iOS, and windows apps.  According to many statistics like Jobs Tractor, PHP is the most popular programming language. The percentage of developers located worldwide that use PHP language is 78.6%.  It ensures that the language can easily be considered for building your next app.

C#

C# is known as C Sharp. It is a multi-paradigm programming language, which is object and component oriented. It’s a general-purpose programming language developed by Microsoft. Appeared first in 2000, C# is developed and introduced by Microsoft as Swift was introduced by Apple and both share a common characteristic to rule the world of mobile app development in coming years. Developer Economics Survey states, 38% mobile developers use C# for part of their work while 16% use C# as the main language.

BuildFireJS

BuildFire.JS leverages the BuildFire SDK and Javascript to allow developers to rapidly build mobile apps with the power of the BuildFire SDK & BuildFire backend along with JavaScript seems to be a great combination by top mobile app developers worldwide to develop apps. BuildFire.JS was built to have a flexible architecture to give developers the option to utilize any client-side Javascript framework they like including: jQuery, Angular, React, Underscore and many more.

With BuildFire already having plugins that cover 70% or more of the common business use cases, developers only need to build specific functionality that’s unique to the client, rather than build the whole thing from scratch. This helps a development team to prepare mobile apps in less time and labour.

At BrainMobi, our professional developers are experienced to perfectly match the compatibility of a language with the theme of the mobile app.

Which language out of these is your favourite? Mention in the comment section below.

Top 10 Ways to Pay with Your SmartPhones https://www.brainmobi.com/blog/top-10-ways-pay-smartphones/ https://www.brainmobi.com/blog/top-10-ways-pay-smartphones/#respond Mon, 21 Aug 2017 00:53:44 +0000 http://www.brainmobi.com/blog/?p=1084 A Few years back there was no sign of Digital cash, but today it won’t be wrong to say that digital cash rules… Read More

A Few years back there was no sign of Digital cash, but today it won’t be wrong to say that digital cash rules across each and every transaction activity. Thanks to mobile wallets and FinTech services, we can make purchases in-store, pay back generous pals, and even transfer money to foreign countries using our touchscreens. E-commerce apps have taken a giant stride to evolve online transaction as e-money become more prevalent across every niche and domains. For instance, Swipe, the e-commerce app designed by a pair of Irish 20-year-olds, is worth $9.2 billion. There’s a huge market for currency transaction apps, and the competition is fierce between tons of apps available online, it can be hard to know the best way to pay with your smartphone. Well !! Next time when getting confused, consider these top 10 apps we have shortlisted on basis of ranking and positive feedback from the users worldwide.

  1. PayPal

    PayPal is one of the most popular names on the list.  All you need is just download the app, sign-in using your PayPal account information or set up a new account, and tap “In Store” on the home screen.

    If you don’t already have a bank account, debit, or credit card linked to your PayPal account, you’ll need to take a few moments to add your preferred payment method via the app or the PayPal website. It’s very simple and takes just a minute or two. With an incredible acceptance of PayPal among users across domains and industries, its has now become a norm for business owners and entrepreneur to integrate Paypal gateway across their business solutions.

  2. Google Wallet

    Google needs no introduction and explanation that how it influences our life. And with such intense integration with so many facets of our online experience, it’s no joke that they’re also part of this list. Google Wallet allows you send people money to their emails or phone numbers. Recipients get notified by e-mail and then go through a process to verify their identity to accept the money. If this sounds like your thing, give it a go, but the other apps seem like faster ways to pay with your smartphone.

  3. Samsung Pay

    Likewise other mobile wallets, Samsung Pay allows users to execute common activities like load their credit, debit, gift and loyalty cards to the platform so that they may use their phones to pay in stores.
    The Magnetic Secure Transmission technology makes Samsung Pay stand out from other e-wallet apps and more accepted virtually everywhere.

    Samsung Pay essentially allows you to pay anywhere you would usually pay with a credit or debit card. This simply means that Samsung Pay does not require businesses to be participating merchants in order for users to use the app to make payments. However, availability of applications on only Android platform cuts out a significant portion of the consumer market.

  4. Apple’s PassBook

    Introduced in iOS 6 and relies on scanning 2D barcodes, Apple’s Passbook helps you manage your movie, concert and airline tickets as well as loyalty cards and coupons for selected merchants. According you get time-based notifications when you’re near a cafe where you can use your loyalty card or when your airline, movie or concert ticket is nearing its due date.

  5. Venmo

    “Venmo” has reached another degree of popularity among millennials as a verb status in the vernacular. You would hear college students say one of such things like “Venmo me 170 bucks for burgers,” or “I’ll Venmo you back later”. No wonder — we can easily rate it as one of the most popular mobile wallet apps. Not only is it super simple to use, but it’s got a social aspect to it.

    You can simply send money from the app to mobile numbers, email addresses, or Facebook accounts. And that too for the very manageable price of $0. That’s right, Venmo balance bank and debit card transfers are totally free of cost. You’ll only incur a fee if using a credit card.

  6. Square Order

    Founded by Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey, Square is a mobile payment service which offers to turn any smartphone into credit card reader. Also called as the golden child of mobile payments by Entrepreneurs and business owners. Square Register features ‘Google Analytics’ style data for all purchases made through the register, allowing owners access to all of their sales statistics right from the register app or online interface. It will also allow purchases via the new Square Card Case as well as the Square Card Reader.

  7. Intuit GoPayment

    Multiple users function make Intuit GoPayment is an excellent choice for small businesses. Each account supports up to 50 users in the event that you have several people taking payments. This makes it easier for the company to manage their user content and subscription fees.

    Full refunds can also be made for the original transaction amount on-the-spot, but partial refunds have to be done through Intuit’s web interface. Funds are deposited into your bank account within 2-3 days as well.

  8. TabbedOut

    TabbedOut allows users to pay with smartphones at any establishment that supports the app. The app is built specifically for the restaurant and bar crowd with a list of other smart features. You can see your tab in real time (great for avoiding that end-of-meal bill shock after one too many bottles of wine), add a tip, split the bill with fellow diners, and pay straight from the app.

    TabbedOut also lets you build a relationship with your favorite eateries. You can leave written feedback once you’ve paid your bill, and you may get vouchers back for next time.

  9. Level Up

    Popular with restaurants and cafes, LevelUp uses a QR code to trigger a payment. When you open the app you’ll see your personal code prominently displayed, which you point at any LevelUp scanner to make a purchase. That code changes depending on how much of a tip you want to leave, which you pick at the bottom of the screen.
    Unlike PayPal, you don’t need to pick where you want to pay beforehand, but you do need to know if the merchant accepts that form of payment. You can either use the app to search for participating businesses near you, or just look out for the LevelUp scanner near the register.

    As an added bonus, LevelUp also has a loyalty program, where you can get free credits for being a repeat customer. The app also has coupons and deals that you can save and then use automatically when you check out. The downside here is that there aren’t many merchants using LevelUp, and you won’t find it at major retailers.

  10. Bitcoin for Android

    If you have invested in Bitcoins, the chances are that you want to be able to send and receive Bitcoin payments on your smartphone. Bitcoin for Android is a mobile application which operates as a fully functional Bitcoin wallet and supports the scanning of QR codes to initiate transactions with other basic features. The main attraction of the app is payment processing without an Internet connection. The code for the app is completely open-source and has been posted to GitHub for users to be able to personally assess the code, so they aren’t the subject of a Bitcoin theft like other Bitcoin investors have experienced.

The question is, which app becomes a pet choice for your daily transaction? Several top e-wallet app development companies have launched mobile wallet products which have flopped badly in the market. Likewise, no company has emerged as a clear leader yet. But, the ongoing mayhem assures that in future, We may not need anything more than the basic iPhone to make almost all of our transactions.

Get in touch with our top mobile app developers to mould the best mobile payment solution for your business.

Gone are the days when people used to worry every now and then for routine tasks. Be it personal or professional, mobile apps are everywhere to help millennials every minute & everywhere. Taking the advantage of that fire across mobile users, budding entrepreneurs and business owners are releasing mobile apps to make users become cohesive with the brand. Apparently, Mobile apps have become the epic phenomenon that has influenced almost every horizon in the present and coming time. But with evolving technologies and different standards of user experience, there are a lot of misconceptions around mobile app development which sometimes cost business owners in full swing with huge loss. Here are the top five myths of mobile app development:

Who says a small business doesn’t need an app?

Are you a business owner of a small scale of production? Ever wondered how you could multiply your business growth with a mobile app? Get your facts checked if you not in agreement with the ever popular mobile revolution. If your business is yet to go mobile, it’s missing out to create a rapidly growing marketing platform. These days many small businesses are undecided whether to develop their own mobile apps or not. To stay ahead of the competition, a mobile app is your weapon to win over the customer and maintain a business relationship to some extent. It will help them reach their marketing goals faster and with greater success.

Focusing on new installs alone will grow your business

There are cases whereby we come across apps that are downloaded only once and are completely forgotten. Bad user experience could be an evil factor to bring down market reputation. Most of the time people tend to forget what are the applications that they have downloaded. It’s mandatory to remind users of your app with regular updates and notifications. At BrainMobi, we emphasise equally on quality and quantity. Here, quantity refers to the number of downloads and quality refers to the flawless user experience which would lead to higher conversion rate and better ROI.

Settling down for one platform is sufficient

There are various devices and platforms available in the market. The misconception to rely on one single platform will lead to missing out on a huge user base across other available platforms. It’s good when you choose a single platform for screening the idea and observe user feedback, but solely relying on a single platform is a blunder. Consider every popular device and platform to avoid disappointment and any scope of discontinuity in service for your valuable users.

Open-source libs minimize hard work

Just look beyond the mentioned top-10 Tools and Personalization apps – you’ll find tens of thousands of app analogues.

The functional core of such apps is usually based upon one of the popular open-source libs, and their development, obviously, didn’t take much time or effort. It’s a fact that top mobile app developers across the globe rely on such analogues but excellence in work come across with machine and platform perfect coding.

However, who would install a poorly-performing, ugly-designed app analogue, instead of a stylish highly-reliable app by a trustworthy developer, displayed on top of search results?

I wouldn’t, would you?

Idea is everything

With countless apps already published, chances are your idea is not entirely unique. Even if you do have a new angle and have a novel idea, it only has the potential to do whatever you plan on making it do. The idea is nothing without the execution.

A lot of budding entrepreneurs across the globe believe that ideas are the key to success. It’s a hard truth to bear, but ideas are worthless on their own. What matters is how wonderfully you enhance every minute aspect of mobility into it. The fate of a mobile app also depends on three major factors, which are :

  • The right timing
  • The right market
  • The right place

In other words, successful apps are products that fit their markets and gain user attention at right time.

But product/market fit is about discovery, not the certainty. It’s like playing roulette. For example, if Twitter continued building features to support their early audience—status-updaters—they would have missed out on much larger markets.

A well-executed and a well-marketed app have a much greater chance of success.

Above points are only the trailer to a much bigger picture and a long list of misconceptions which further leads to disappointment and mobile phenomenon. Make sure you are not the one blaming the mobile era when you are prone to one such misconception. Discuss your idea with the top mobile app developer and work with the right team of mobile professionals.

At BrainMobi, our development practices are most often based on the Agile approach of software development. On basis of specific requirements of the mobile app, the agile mobile app development mainly focuses on customer involvement, flexible planning, constant evaluation and — of course — risk management. As a result, Agile based mobile app development projects get completed before the scheduled time. Our team of top mobile app developers strongly follow the agile methodology with regular client communication to ensure the final product is closest to expected product.

Characteristics of Mobile Application Development

In contrast traditional desktop applications, mobile apps demand service every month to provide an immersive user experience to valuable customers. Here is a list of challenges posed for top mobile app development companies while using Agile approach:

  • Short life cycles
  • Short development cycles
  • Limited hardware
  • Frequently changing user demands
  • Must be easily updateable
  • Must download quickly

All of these characteristics collectively bring more tension for top mobile app developers to carefully choose an approach which can reduce wastage of labour & time while bringing a sign a relief for both clients and development agencies. But how it would be made possible to build high-quality mobile apps across such mayhem around development approaches? The answer is Agile development.

What is Agile?

Agile application development is the approach of developing a product where the whole process is divided into a series of development cycles. In fact, when using Agile for mobile app development, the entire array of tasks is divided into multiple sub-tasks, each of which is a separate mini-project for the development team.

Assignments are distributed to the concerned team of experts as well as teams are also divided to follow the agile methodology. Each assignment is a piece of job and treated as a unit of an independent project. Under the influence of the agile approach, companies successfully reduce the scope of development risks, including errors to a great extent.

Agile applications development also accounts for regular communication within and between groups; constant interaction, both in project development environment and between customer and contractor. This means that if a customer or project leader suddenly raises new demands to the product, it bears virtually no effect on the time spent and app marketing. Changes that are commanded, as a result, are further assigned to one of the teams which do not slow down the project as a whole.

Why use Agile?

When choosing a development approach, it is equally important to understand the advantages. With the Agile methodology, below are the following qualities :

  • Constant supply of valuable client software;
  • Ability to make changes to the project and to put forward new demands to it at any stage of development (even before the release);
  • Constant close contact between the customer and developers at all stages of the project;
  • Regular delivery of the project’s software elements;
  • Comfortable working conditions for both developers and the customer;
  • Priority information exchange method is a personal conversation, which gives opportunities for all participants of the project;
  • The main indicator of Agile implementation success is the high-quality working application;
  • Developers, customers and sponsors have the opportunity to control and maintain a constant pace of work;
  • Constant contact and control gives possibilities for permanent improvement of the product at the design stage;
  • Usage of self-organizing teams to minimize the extra work;
  • Self-organizing teams performing particular tasks, often give better results than a large team dedicated to everything at once;
  • The presence of individual units that perform individual tasks is a guarantee of rapid adaptation to any new conditions to the project.

Developed and formulated in 2001, Agile Approach has been in use for 15 years to the day, during which it proved to be functional, effective and relevant. The method was used in the development of many projects, including most successful and well-known. Today, the Agile method is the basis of productivity in many prosperous IT companies.

How we follow Agile?

When we begin a mobile app development project at BrainMobi, we break down functional requirements into user stories, which then become the foundation of our app development schedule. We usually work within the framework of two-week sprint sets and iterate continuously until we reach substantial milestones on the mobile app. Sometimes this includes an incredibly large number of business requirements. We’ve worked on projects with as many as 3,500 requirements. Agile development makes it possible to break down all these requirements into smaller, manageable chunks.

Don’t forget to share your experience while using Agile Paradigm across your project in the comment section below.

Ever looked at famous apps earning thousands of dollars a day and wondered exactly how much money you would earn if you released your own app? Think no more, we’ll tell you exactly how much you can earn with an app.

Let’s start with a few facts about the amount of money that can be earned. Every mobile app development company wishes to go big on their preferred app marketplace(s) and earn big. While Android developers have a hard time reaching this goal(with just 16% of its developers earning over $5,000 a month in revenue), iOS developers earn relatively well(with about 25% of its developers earning over $5,000 per month). Android is not be undermined though since the top developers in android earn most of the total revenue of Play Store. According to the statistics given by Statista, the total revenue earned by apps worldwide in 2016 was 88.3 billion USD and the expected total revenue for 2020 is 188.9 billion USD. Impressed already? Read on!

The question that how much money you can earn with your app is a bit tricky since it really comes down to how good your app is and how much value it is adding to the lives of the users. So let’s discuss the various means through which you can monetize your app-

Make it freemium:
This exposes your services to a greater audience. This audience can then use your free app and decide whether they want to go for the premium version or not. This boosts your reach better than anything else does.

Offer in-app purchases:
Another great way of making money through your app is by offering the users in-app purchases. One of the most famous examples of an app using this technique is Clash of Clans. The game allows users to buy various items in the game, and it has generated a lot of revenue through this.

Advertisements:
Well, duh! Advertisements have been a popular means of earning revenue with apps since ads were introduced. There are no limits to the amount of money one could earn with ads and the best part of it is that ads come in a wide variety, so if it bugs you to use pop-up ads, you could easily go for banner ads or native ads. This allows you to choose the type of ads your users wouldn’t mind seeing. While ads can bring revenue, if misused, they have the tendency of driving the audience away as well.

Sponsorship:
“Why didn’t I think about it earlier?”- you, right now. We understand. Having a sponsor for app certainly does land you in a secure position, but then, for having a sponsor, you probably would’ve already led your app into a secure position. Sponsors pay you a certain amount for a certain duration and you agree to display their name and logo wherever the two of you decide to. Many apps rely solely on sponsorship for monetization since it is quite a lucrative option. It is a win-win situation for both of you. The sponsor gets to showcase themselves and reach out to a different audience while you get to earn from your app.

Cost per Install(CPI) Networks:
Through cost per install networks, your app would prompt users to download certain apps if they wish to. Whenever your users download an app that you prompted them to, you get paid for that download. This is really helpful when your app has a decent traffic and you can expect your users to download other apps which may or may not be of the genre your app pertains to.

Before discussing how much it would cost you to develop your own coupon app, let’s discuss what a coupon app does and why developing your own coupon app would be a good idea.

Ever came across “Deal of the Day”? For people who like saving money(which is most of us), this deal is something to look forward to. These are digital coupons providing some sort of discount offered to users which reduce the amount the user has to pay for the service or product. This financial discount can be used by the user while using a service or product. These coupons are made available to the users in a great many ways. Mostly, though, you’ll find these coupons in the form of promotional codes and voucher codes sent via emails and SMSes.

This marketing strategy is used in a lot of companies to increase sales. Web development is widely growing along with mobile app development companies with the help of these coupons and deals. Apps like Paytm and Groupon are good examples of coupon apps. Researches have shown that companies which offer coupons and vouchers have experienced a growth of about 12% annually. Also, the apps and sites offering coupons and discount codes have more traffic.

At its core, every mobile coupon app serves the same purpose which is to provide the customers lucrative deals throughout the year so that they don’t have to wait for the big sales happening a few times every year. Being highly effective, every brand is going for coupon apps for selling products and services. Due to incremental traffic, this form of marketing is quick and effective. It is an easy and quick way for marketing brands and to increase awareness about the brand since it helps in increasing market reach.

Let’s discuss how these apps benefit the users and businesses to know more about why you should go for developing a coupon app:

For Users-

  1. It saves money
  2. It exposes the users to every deal, no matter what kind of deal it is
  3. It gives users fairly good deals every day instead of end of season
  4. It is easy to redeem and apply coupons
  5. It makes shopping more cost effective and interesting

For Businesses-

  1. It leads to more purchases
  2. It helps in boosting engagement and brand awareness
  3. It helps in retaining users
  4. It helps in building loyalty
  5. It helps businesses in getting a cutting edge over competition

In this era of almost total internet connectivity, data flows in from all directions, often in a haphazard fashion. This data is quite valuable if the required information can be extracted out of it properly. But since the data is in such large quantities, it is very difficult to handle all of that data using the existing means. This is where Big Data comes in.

Big Data is a term widely used to describe very large data sets which have a size which is so large that it can’t be handled using the common software tools prevalent in the market used to handle data. This data may be generated by social networks, banking, and financial services, e-commerce services, web-related services, internet search indices, scientific and document searches, medical records, web logs etc. Every app that you use generates a large amount of data which big companies use to find trends in the data or even to extract useful information from the data.

Big Data is associated with three Vs defining properties and dimensions:

Volume: This is the factor Big Data is most known for. Since we’re dealing with a lot of data, the volume is very large, almost incomprehensible. Facebook stores roughly 250 billion images. It has more users than China’s population and the number just keeps on increasing. Considering this factor, we can imagine how much data is generated by every single user. Much of that data is very valuable for companies. Let’s say, Facebook decides to add a new option for posting status updates. For doing so, Facebook would have to go through a large volume of data to find whether the users would like the new update or not. Based on this understanding, Facebook would decide whether it should go ahead and bring in the new option or not. And this is just one such example, m-commerce companies use information about the purchases to decide which what time of the year would be good for giving additional discounts which would lead to a lot of sales. The amount of data stored is insanely large, and with every passing second, a number of data increases.

Velocity: 250 billion images is a huge amount of data, isn’t it? But imagine the amount of increase in the data considering that Facebook users upload more than 900 million photos every day. This brings us to velocity. Velocity is the measure of the rate of increase of data. To handle this insanely huge amount of data, we would certainly need more responsive means of handling data.

Variety: Data comes in all shapes and sizes. From photographs to sensor data to tweets and encrypted data packets, data is everywhere, and in a surplus. The data is different from each other. Since there is so much variation in the types of the data, we can’t store data in the old rows and columns representation.

Additionally, we could consider the value to be a factor defining Big Data. It is important to choose which data is valuable and which data isn’t since a lot of resources are spent in handling the data. Data here is haphazard and needs special software to be handled properly.

In the next post, we would dig deeper into the world of Big Data with the tools that we use to handle these gigantic piles of data. Stay tuned until then. Do let us know your thoughts on our post in the comments below.

In many of our previous blogs, we discussed about the right development team, must have features of an app, cost to develop an app etc. This time our blog mainly focuses on Node.JS, one of the technologies that is preferred over other veteran technologies for Mobile App and Web Development. We will further learn about Node.JS frameworks that are known for lightweight development approach. Use of Node.JS frameworks helps to empower development process with some incredible functionalities that were missing in other patent languages. Developers and clients prefer to choose the technology for a layer of benefits and features associated with Node.JS. Corporate users of Node.JS software include Cisco Systems, Walmart, PayPal, Capital One, GoDaddy, Groupon, IBM, Microsoft, Netflix, Uber, SAP, Yahoo, Lowe’s and much more.

But what exactly makes Node.JS one of the top choices for technical prowess and scalable architecture.

Before we hop on to frameworks and benefits, let’s understand what exactly we mean by Node.JS.

Node.JS: The RunTime Environment

Node.JS is not a language, framework or tool. It is a runtime environment for running applications based on JavaScript. Similar to Java Runtime Environment, NodeJS has a virtual machine called JVM (JavaScript Virtual Machine) which is nothing but V8, the open source JavaScript engine from Google. With the help of different libraries called Node API or Node Modules, NodeJS help to run JavaScript applications at runtime, similar to Java Libraries within the JRE. Similarly, JavaScript Virtual Machine generates machine code with the help of main components like JIT and GC for performing tasks, runtime compilation, and memory management respectively.

Now, Let’s take a look at some of the best Node.js frameworks.

Node.JS – Popular Frameworks

With an asynchronous architecture based on comprehensive frameworks, Node.JS has answered the needs of computational forces in the quest for incredible user experience blended with powerful options to take care of the evolving World Wide Web (WWW) needs. Below are some sorted out Node.JS frameworks used by top mobile app developers worldwide:

Hapi.JS

Hapi.js is a powerful Node.js web framework for building application program interfaces (APIs) and other software applications. The framework has a robust plugin system and numerous key features, which makes it one of the popular choices among developers. Also, it is used by many large-scale websites such as Disney, Concrete, PayPal, Walmart and more.

Hapi.js is widely used by thousands of developers for designing useful applications. Features of Hapi.js:

  • Especially good for passing around a DB connection.
  • Known as go-to technology for both startups and enterprises.
  • Works as a stable, secure solution as well as helps deploying an application.
  • Good structure to work in a team.

Socket.io

Socket.io is a Node.js server framework for building real-time web applications. It allows bi-directional communication between server and web clients. Like Node.JS, Socket.io is also event driven. Socket.io works as a client-side library running in the browser and as a server-side library for Node.JS. The framework allows real-time concurrency for document collaboration and data exchange. Notable users include Microsoft Office, Yammer, and Zendesk etc.

Top app developers use this framework for below-mentioned features:

  • Asynchronous input/ output (I/O) processing.
  • Binary streaming.
  • Horizontal scaling.
  • Document collaboration.
  • Instant messaging.

Express.JS

Seven years ago, TJ Holowaychuk, one of the core Node project team member developed this essential framework for Node.JS. This framework allows writing code in pure Node.JS with minimum lines of code.

The express.js framework is used by top app development companies for features like:

  • Template engines.
  • Simplified multiple routing.
  • Database integration.
  • HTTP requests.
  • Error handling.

Mojito.JS

Mojito is a JavaScript framework based on Yahoo! Cocktails, a mobile application development platform introduced by Yahoo! Developer Network. JavaScript is the only programming language, which is used for Yahoo! Cocktails Platform. Since client and server components are both written in JavaScript, Mojito can run on both the client side (browser) and the server (Node.js).

Mojito is a model-view-controller (MVC) framework used by top mobile app developers for a gamut of features, such as:

  • Convenient data fetching.
  • Integrated unit testing.
  • Local development environment and tools.
  • Library for simplifying internationalisation & localisation.

Meteor.JS

Meteor is an open-source Node.JS framework for building websites and web/mobile applications. It allows writing both client and server parts of an application in JavaScript. Meteor helps in writing application codes. Moreover, it’s reactive programming model that allows creating applications using lesser JavaScript code. Besides, Meteor is a powerful framework for building real-time applications. Popular applications built using Meteor are Respondly, Blonk and more. Here are some features that lead many top app development companies to choose the language:

  • Full-Stack solution.
  • Isomorphic JavaScript code.
  • Front-end solution.
  • Database integration.
  • Live reload.
  • Custom package manager

Hope the above frameworks have helped you gain an insight into why top app development companies prefer to choose it over other veteran languages. This is just a glimpse of a much bigger picture of many more frameworks and features. Best of luck with choosing the correct technology as its one of the important aspects of mobile app development.

Are you looking for best mobile app developers but not sure where to head for the smoothest collaboration?

As there are several top rated developers with a well-renowned array of services, you would be surely left in the midst with head full of confusion. “How to choose ?” and “What to look out for ?” are some of the questions with much potential to pile up more confusion.

In this blog post, we have tried to rack out some important points to help you battle out the confusion around choosing the best app developers. Every point has its own significance while app development and contributes to great work collaboration. Let’s swing through the points:

  • Understand the basics

Jot down all the queries you come across while going through A-Z  of app making. Take help from Google to clear all the surrounding drama to build a successful app. This point brings out the maximum from either team in the form of exemplary work. A unique idea with strong base leads to better work collaboration as compared to unclear ideas.  In the history of mobile app development, we have always witnessed a strong inclination towards stroke of innovation. 

Understandthebasics

  • Set a ballpark budget

Choose a team that agrees to deliver under your terms and conditions when you are looking forward to debut as an Entrepreneur. A development team that offers services with expected quality and with financial bandwidth would be a good choice. Taking this step right will help you attain peace at financial front. Once price costing is fixed, all your focus can be solely concentrated over the execution part.

  • Evaluate their talent and experience

Once the coast is clear at budget and services front, peep into the developer’s work and a list of their associated clients. Client feedback could also help you to gain a good insight into one’s work ethics and professionalism. Make sure to thoroughly evaluate those projects with your interest of work. Give preference to the development company that passes the evaluation with flying colours. The company website, Portfolio, client feedback and rating etc are some of the sources to squeeze out required details.

Clientfeedback

  • Consider the Work Logistics

Your compatibility with the chosen app development team in terms of execution style also holds great importance. Interview each member separately to rate their work style and process in accordance to yours. Skillset compatibility helps to accelerate the whole process with amazing results. Possibilities are maximum that teams which share technical compatibility end up collaborating on more than one project. To head with that perspective, underline this point to get hold of a strong partnership.

AppWorkLogistics

  • Zombies VS Ninjas

A team which adds valuable inputs & drive the whole development process to another level is one of the several quality you should look out for. Prefer to choose agile processors that deliver much more than you expect. This quality only reflects in people with good work experience and never give up attitude.

          Tip: PingPong lovers deliver more agile and spontaneous work.

  • Maintenance and Support

Both Developer and Client team generally ignore this term. But product maintenance is as important as any other parameter. Many times it brings quarrel across the whole collaboration just by missing the discussion. To avoid any conflicts at the end, it’s recommended to go through support clause at length before signing on the dotted line.
