The
path from the flash of brilliance to the working mobile app has been long and unfaithful.
So the good news is that help is on the way as companies develop tools and
frameworks that smooth the journey.
Here is a best collection of 6 mobile
development tools that are revolutionizing the way we make apps. There are some
really great multi-platform developer tools in the market today, using which
you can easily achieve your aim. Here is a list of the top 6 dev tools for
cross-formatting mobile applications.
RhoMobile
As per
my experience most of the developers prefer RhoMobile tools so it should be on
the top of the list because it offers Rhodes, which is an open-source framework
based on Ruby. This permits the developer to make local apps, spanning over a
stunning range of OS’ and smartphones. The OS’ include Android, Windows
Mobile, Symbian, iPhone and RIM, which pretty much covers it all.
The
framework supplied by RhoMobile is such that you only need to code once. This
code can be used to build apps for most of the major smartphones. Native apps
are great for working with available hardware, so your job gets done with ease,
speed and accuracy.
PhoneGap
PhoneGap,
which won great acclaim at Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco’s 2009 Launch Pad event,
is an FOSS environment that allows developers to create apps for Android, Palm,
Symbian, BlackBerry, iPhone, iTouch and iPad devices. This platform uses
standard web development languages such as HTML and JavaScript.
PhoneGap
allows the developer to work with device hardware features such as
accelerometer, GPS/location, camera, sound and much more.
Appcelerator
The
Titanium Development Platform from Appcelerator, which incidentally has a
formidable fan following in Twitter, aids the development of native mobile,
tablet and desktop apps via web programming languages such as HTML, PHP,
JavaScript, Ruby and Python. It now powers over a 1,000 native apps per month.
The best thing about Titanium is that if gives users easy access to over 300
APIs and location information.
MoSync
MoSync,
yet another FOSS multi-platform mobile app dev SDK tool, is based on standard
web programming. This SDK offers the developer integrated compilers, libraries,
runtimes, device profiles and other useful tools. While support for JavaScript,
PHP, Ruby, Python and such other languages is planned, MoSync now includes
Eclipse-based IDE for C/C++ programming.
WidgetPad
WidgetPad
is a collaborative, open-source environment for development of smartphone apps.
This program uses standard web technologies, such as JavaScript, HTML5 and
CSS3. Included in this platform are source code editing, collaboration,
debugging, project management, versioning and distribution.
Whoop
This
one, though not really a top tool, is interesting. Whoop confidently states
that they are “The one-stop mobile app publishing platform for non-developers”.
Even if you are not a developer, you can still get some cross-formatting done
with Whoop.
