Mobile Development
Mobile, such powerful devices that have become, whether we like it or not, our inseparable companions today. Though, despite original mobile “phones” being somewhat ancient now, our expertise lies within the incredibly intricate “smart” phone you’re likely reading this on.
This type of mobile development is still relatively young in comparison and began around 15 years ago way before Android and iOS was coined. The first of these innovations was an 85g running on mere Java and its own OS based on Flash - basically an interacting USB with a touchscreen.
Mobile development has ‘developed’ and has its own environments to develop within, “Native”, “Hybrid” and “Cross”, whereby development is with mobile-specific programming languages, using the native Software Development Kits, SDKs. Interestingly, mobile development comes from the family of languages used in their Software Engineering counterparts. iOS will use Objective-C, from the C programming language, whereas Android has come from Java, a reputably used open-source programming language used across many development stacks today.
Of course, within development, there’s further development, Objective-C spanning from the C family, and Android Development from Java - a reputable open-source and versatile language. Typical iOS terminology will lean from Swift, SwiftUI and Xamarin (which uses C#), whereas Android will stay close to Java, Kotlin, JavaScript and TypeScript.
