Nothing is impossible, the word itself says: I'm Possible!!!

― Jarrod Kuntz

Words always have fascinated me and I love to prune them into catchy pieces of word art.
My rule of thumb: Preferred: (Quality + hard work) over quantity = Satisfying End Product. To have more
than 5 years of professional writing experience and almost 15 or so years of informal scribbling, I have
experience as well as passion enough to pursue this career further.

 A Voyage Towards the Eden of Mobile
Application Development
In the current blur of technology and dynamic automation, one who looks back has the most to lose. We are living in an eon filled with

rapid transition and digital metamorphosis. Here, to achieve progress and advancement one needs to be constantly conforming to the

realms of the Utopia of modern technology. There was a time when people did not even have a slice of digital computing tools

available. The first ever business computer LEO (Lyons Electronic Computer) developed in the 1950s was developed out of sheer

necessity to manage outrageously large revenues of Lyons, a UK-based Tea-shop Company. This led to several other developments in

the field of computing and the world saw the illusionary concept of personal computers become reality. From desktops to laptops, then

palm tops and even thump tops, the journey of digital portability has been endless. The software developers gained immense

acclamation and regard. However, it seems that the ever-starving epoch of technology has yet newer heights to achieve.

The transition from Desks to Hands

This era is marked with vigorous mobility and transportability. Hand-held gadgets, Smartphones, and tablets are the hot-talk of the IT

wonderland now. The App developers have subtly replaced the software developing engineers. The various platforms and Operating

systems popularly available in the market for these mobile devices have made them the ultimate solution for portable computing. These

platforms like Android, iPhone OS, Windows, Mac, and BlackBerry have provided a scaffold for now raging, mobile application

development. Every single organizing and managing essentials of yours are just a touch-n-tap away from you now.

A Plethora of Apps

These mobile applications have done exactly what the name promises; they have made lives easier by applying and incorporating each

of the functionalities manageable out there to your mobile devices in a way that they have become more reachable to you than they

were ever before. Nevertheless, every passing day brings new demands and changes to facilitate peoples' lives further and further

which definitely calls for more and more Apps. This seemingly insatiable demand for app development has led many to choose it as a

dedicated profession and the recent developing market has an excess of available app makers, developers with an assortment of
mobile applications on miscellaneous affairs. Ranging from, important business apps to social media networking apps and from gaming

frenzied apps to entertaining diversions; they are available in the market in extensive variety.

Different Types of Mobile Apps

The concept of Mobile Application Development is evolutionary. The design potential is vast and many developmental strategies are

involved when developing an app. In a blanket sense, we can say that there are generally two types of mobile application

developmental approach. These types may further classify into sub-types due to the variant aspects.

Native Mobile Applications

These types of apps are available on e-markets to have them downloaded and installed in the user's mobile device and can run directly

from there onwards. There is no need for a data connection for them after the installation. They give added functionality to your already
highly functional smartphones and enhance your phone's attributing features like calculators, dictionaries, book readers, calendars and

office organizing apps.

A variant of native apps is semi-native apps called as Client Server Apps. These apps though installed in the device, still require data

connection to further transferring of the data. Hybrid Apps also require an internet connection.

Web-Based Mobile Applications

These applications are not installable on your device, the entire access or usage is through the web browser. They are completely

independent of the memory size of your phone and of its platform too as they run in the bounds of cyberspace. All the data and

information of the apps transfer through the browser that should be efficient in performance. Some popular web-based apps include

social networking apps like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Gaming Apps, Document Sharing apps and others.

To popularize their platforms, Google Android, BlackBerry, and Apple they all provide APIs (Application Programming Interface) to third-

party developers to contribute to the development of enhanced applications to promote their platforms.
