Hybrid App Development Part 1

So, in the previous blog Introduction to hybrid app development we learn about what is hybrid app. Today, we will learn more about hybrid app.
  1. Hybrid App Architecture : Hybrid App Development Part 1
  2. Development tools           : Hybrid App Development Part 2
  3. Debugging techniques      : Hybrid App Development Part 3
  4. Building Hybrid App        : Hybrid App Development Part 4
    1. UI Development     : Part 4.1
    2. Fetching Data and Angular Caching : Part 4.2
  5. Testing the App                : Hybrid App Development Part 5
  6. Deployment of App          : Hybrid App Development Part 6
We will talk about Architecture of Hybrid Mobile Application. We will discuss each of the component in detail. 

So first question that came to my mind when I think of Hybrid App Development is that what is it that enables this?


Answer to this Question is

Introduction to Hybrid App Development

History


With the Origin of mobile operating systems like iOS, Andriod, Windows and Others in the market. There are variety of devices in with different form factors and different hardware specifications. With the evolution of the Mobile Operating System, Mobile Devices hardware has evolved a lot. We will not deep into hardware development but yes we will talk more about the Software part.

So, What are the ways we can develop a Mobile Application?
  1. Using xCode with Swift, Objective - C and using their UI Libraries we can build Apps for iOS. you can go to Apple Developer Site to know more about it.
  2. Android Application development using Java. Getting Started with Android.
  3. Windows phone application development using .Net Framework and C#. Windows phone App Development getting started.
As Listed above if you need to build an App for multiple devices you would think I would need to learn all these technologies and believe me I have not listed all the Technologies which are used, I have just mentioned the programming languages.

So now you can understand what could be the problem with this. Anyway, I will mention it explicitly, Now I want to develop an App for all 3 Operating Systems. I have to develop it in 3 different plateforms to support 3 different mobile operating systems. Which I think would be huge effort for Developers and Enterprise Softwares. This problem leads to the evolution of Hybrid Mobile Application development with mainly involve development with PhoneGap (Currently known as Cordova).
