Mobile Application Development

How to be present on mobile and tablet?

With the advent of smartphones including the iPhone on top, mobile application has become an important communication channel for the image of a company.

It become difficult to choose between all platforms and devices without mentioned of tablets doing their entries this year and the investment may become substantial if you want an application for each.

To facilitate your presence on the largest number of phones and tablets, I develop applications for the most used “markets”.

Native applications or webApps?

Native applications are developed with the specific language to Apple or Android for example, the big advantage and performance are best for you but the big problem for developers is that we are obliged to learn each language and the cost for customers in creation and maintenance is important because it is necessary to adapt the same functionality in the language of each platform.

webApps are native mobile applications with a web browser on board. This becomes the same language to create a website and it is possible to be present on the six major mobile platforms.

But the big disadvantage is that performance is much worse and access to certain advanced features of the phone (network, GPS, compass, etc …) may be limited.

This is the ideal solution for small projects.

Appcelerator Titanium, the best of two worlds!

Titanium is a framework that allows you to write with the same language, for the three major platforms (iPhone / iPad, Android and Blackberry) and it generates native applications for performance!

Using a common code and it is adapted according to the specific functions of each platform (animations iPhone, Android notification, etc …)

I am certified by Appcelerator “Titanium Certified Application Developer” for the development of native applications iPhone, iPad, Android and Blackberry, which allows me to offer mobile applications on each platform with rapid deployment and lower cost.
