A Brief About Mobile Application Development Platforms(MADPS)

With the wide use of mobile applications, businesses today are facing this big challenge to create a truly unique application that can work on various mobile platforms and devices which in turn helps them reach a wide customer base. Mobile apps development platform (MADP) offers the tools for development and also frameworks for creating Business-to-Employee (B2E) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) mobile applications. Apart from providing the tools, these platforms also offer middle ware servers so that mobile apps developer can connect and synchronize the data with back end system. This brings down duplicity in work while paving the way for business logic to be noted down and managed from one place. It will be possible for mobile apps developers to build tighter integration with device features with the use of MADP tools.

Following are the main features that any MADP tools should have:

• Integrated development environment (IDE)
• Mobile app development and debugging
• Multi-device O/S support and integration
• Packaging and provisioning mobile apps
• Middleware server
• Enterprise application integration
• Security and remote management

Mobile Application Development

On a extensive level the MADP tools depend on their development framework & packaging style. They may be classified into two main categories

• Native build tools - standard and traditional approach followed by tool vendors who are in the mobile market from a long period
• Hybrid build tools- Mobile applications created with these tools are based on HTML5 hybrid frameworks for creating device agnostic applications.

Mobile application development India is not a complex process. However, it requires the knowledge about various tools and techniques. Mobile apps developers should remain updated about the latest tools introduced in the mobile development sector. Products under this category mainly emphasize on offering the middle-ware server features that act as a gateway between the mobiles apps and back-end enterprise systems.
