What Marketers Need to Know About Native vs. Cross-Platform Mobile Apps

Why do some developers prefer native apps and others prefer cross-platform apps? Our recent study says 47% of developers prefer to create native apps; 35% prefer to create cross-platform apps.In the mobile research briefs we published last month, we heard an interesting developer story. We conducted some qualitative interviews to accompany our quantitative research, and we learned that really, every developer, given time and an ideal world, would enjoy creating native mobile apps. However, as in life, reality intrudes. Developers choose cross-platform apps because of a few things. Development schedules may be compressed or unworkable for a native app, [...]

“Mobile Developers” Really Means “Developers”

In a great presentation at the AT&T Dev Summit's Design track last week, AT&T's Doug Sillars said that it's time to "drop the word 'mobile' from 'Web development.'" We say "Amen" to that. In fact, we'd take it one step further: it's time to drop the word "mobile" from the phrase "mobile developers." (With one exception I'll mention shortly.) Our recent mobile study and analysis suggest that nearly every developer is a mobile developer. The ubiquity of mobile devices and mobile content consumption means that most Web sites need to work well on mobile devices. And increasingly that goes [...]

It’s Enterprise Development, but it’s Not In-House

Very few enterprise development projects are completed entirely in-house. A client recently asked about this, and it's a common enough question that it warrants a brief answer. Two factors have changed the face of enterprise development. The first is economic, the second is technical.

This, in turn, created a lot of smaller companies who exclusively provide services to large companies and government agencies. For example, I know the founder and the president at Interknowlogy well, and while they can’t divulge their entire client [...]

Desktop As A Service (DaaS): What Does it Mean For Developers?

Recent announcements from Amazon (and others) brought Desktop as a Service (DaaS) into the spotlight again (GigaOm coverage here). Amazon Workspaces’ DaaS announcement brings a major vendor into the remote desktop virtualization space. (All of these buzzwords basically mean that people use virtual desktops — for example, a complete Windows installation — that they can access on a variety of devices in a variety of locations. Since the desktops are virtual, they’re run from a server, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware, but making an Internet connection essential.) While Gartner’s Gunnar Berger points out that "Many DaaS service providers [...]
