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.

Let’s move ahead to know more on why Augmented Reality is a boon for businesses all across the globe:

Here is how Augmented Reality works?

“Augmented Reality is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view“, says Wikipedia.

Using digital overlays, Augmented Reality turns pointed frame into an immersive 3D experience. A user can also move across different directions while experiencing interesting layouts from different angles. Augmented Reality has made its way into many businesses through high-end brands like Nintendo and IKEA. Since then people have been found immersed in exploring the technology through different forms. It’s just a tailor of what AR offers as a technology to make user experience before buying stuff. For instance, Snapchat provides a strong advertising platform for showing details over an image focused through the camera.

Let’s take a deep dive into how Augmented Reality has delivered some major success stories across industries:

Increased Brand Awareness: Integrating AR into business has become a common trend where the user can differentiate your services from other. It helps to add that tech quotient where media and users get bound to talk about your solution and services. We at Brainmobi, also recommend AR implementation depending upon nature of services provided.

AR engages customer better: Customer engagement is one of the crucial factors in driving business along with predetermined targets. AR implementation across industries have resulted in widening the customer engagement spectrum where users could get engaged with the mobile solution at another level of interaction.

It can improve the customer experience, as your customers have more information at their disposal, and can make choices and complete transactions at greater speed.

Digital to the Real World transformation: Perhaps the biggest benefit AR provides, is the ability to link digital world to the customer’s physical experience in new and inventive ways. AR make significant headway in the enterprise and public sector to bring upside down change across traditional and digital marketing channels, allowing you to turn a static physical advert or brochure into a digital experience, which can be easily linked to your digital marketing campaign.

The Future of AR

While AR technology is still in its early age, it is beginning to drive higher to leverage more incredible disruptive innovation in near future. In 2012, there were 188 million downloads of AR apps. It is expected that there will be 3.5 billion downloads by the end of 2017, as per a report. Google and Facebook like organizations have joined the camaraderie to prove their mettle.

He shared a fun fact that coincidently F8 and recently released movie “Fast and Furious 8” share the same notation. He also mentioned his regret for not being able to bring THE ROCK on the stage to discuss breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. With some striking announcements at the event, Day -1 wrapped up with great enthusiasm among attendees and billions of people tuned in from different online channels. This blog is a recap of some key updates from Day – 1 of Facebook Developers Conference.

F8 2017: Day 1 Opening Notes

AR Studios – Experience the excellence of AR in real time through your camera

The event started as Mark Zuckerberg pointed out his desire to bring “extend the physical world online” and asked the audience “think of how many things in our life don’t need to be physical,” before using the monitor behind him to detail a world of virtual chess, or watching TV — sounds riveting.

He also pointed out that the Facebook team is rigorously working towards enhancing real time experience by integrating more of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality across various features.

Using SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) technology, Zuckerberg gave a demo of a bowl of cereal with sharks circling the bowl, bobbing up and down through the table as if it were water. It was impressive AR experience and shows just how powerful SLAM is in detecting the most minute of location details and mapping it to add digital incredibility to real-world experiences.

Image Recognition – With Better Features

Facebook CTO, Mike Schroepfer took over the stage next to talk the other highlight feature of the event – Image Recognition. This time the company has upgraded the technology to recognise multiple objects in an image and (mostly) mask them accordingly. And with the help of a technology known as Mask 4-CNN, Facebook can tell the computer (or human) exactly orientation in relation to the scene. Just released last month, Mask 4-CNN gives Facebook to remove an object entirely from an image in near real-time. Schroepfer showed an example video in which he was able to remove a windsurfer entered the scene and display only the ocean behind him.

Facebook Spaces – VR Feature

Head of Social VR, Racheal Franklin took the stage to introduce Facebook’s First Social VR App, Spaces. Her commencing words at the Facebook Annual Event were “VR is a naturally social platform, and we’re building it with people at the centre”. Spaces allows a user to interact virtually with connected people on Facebook. Using Spaces, you can connect with up to 3 people to watch 360 videos together, hold a virtual game night or show off new home to family and friends.

Messenger Platform 2.0 – With Spotify and Apple Music Integration

FaceBook VP of Messaging product closed the keynote event. He revised all the four updates since the release of Messenger and how every update helps people to get more involved with Facebook. For instance, Messenger bot helped many retailers to elevate their business sales rates and customer service. In a new update, both Spotify and Apple music will make a debut for a seamless transition between vividly followed apps. He also put forward his desire to “invest in discovery” to provide users with more comprehensive features.
