Mobile Development
Create powerful and intuitive mobile applications for iOS and Android, whether native or cross-platform.
The Mobile Universe
Mobile development is at the heart of the digital revolution. With over 6 billion smartphone users worldwide, creating quality mobile applications has become an essential skill. Discover the different approaches: native, hybrid, and cross-platform.
Native Development
Maximum performance and full feature access
- iOS - Swift, Objective-C
- Android - Kotlin, Java
- Advantages - Performance, optimal UX
- Drawbacks - Development cost
Cross-Platform
One codebase, multiple platforms
- React Native - JavaScript/TypeScript
- Flutter - Dart
- Xamarin - C#
- Advantages - Efficiency, maintainability
Hybrid Applications
Encapsulated web technologies
- Ionic - Angular/React/Vue
- Cordova/PhoneGap - HTML/CSS/JS
- PWA - Progressive Web Apps
- Advantages - Speed, reusability
Popular Technologies and Frameworks
React Native
- Created by: Meta (Facebook)
- Language: JavaScript/TypeScript
- Advantages: Active community, near-native performance
- Used by: Instagram, Uber, Airbnb
Flutter
- Created by: Google
- Language: Dart
- Advantages: Consistent UI, hot reload
- Used by: Google Pay, BMW, eBay
Architecture and Patterns
Architecture Patterns
