And so as a software engineer I find it essential to be able to create smartphone applications and fortunately today there are a lot of tools that allow you to do that.

Developing a mobile application is an excellent way to strengthen your brand image, increase a company’s visibility and differentiate yourself from the competition.
Thanks to mobile apps, everything is accessible at your fingertips: Info, utilities, services, showcases, offers, notifications, communities, and much more!

For the people who are fond of programming like me, there are also a lot of work environments and Frameworks that are amazing when it comes to developing mobile apps. And these are actually the tools that I want to focus on for the developers.
Today I intend to give you a quick overview , but I hope to write more detailed articles on some of these softwares in the future.
So without further ado, here are some tools that allow you to develop mobile applications:

  • Non-exhaustive list of tools for creating mobile applications for developers
  • Android Studio
  • React Native
  • Flutter
  • First, I would like to present to you the famous Android Studio.
    Android Studio allows you to develop applications for android phones, Android tablets, Android Wear, Android TV and Android Auto. Android Studio mainly uses Java for the backend and xml for the user interface, but you can work with other languages ​​like Python or C and C ++.

  • React Native is a framework that allows you to create mobile applications in JavaScript. This framework was created by Facebook and is used to develop applications for Android, iOS and UWP by enabling developers to use React with the native functionality of these platforms.

  • The Flutter Framework is also very interesting for creating mobile applications for android but also for iOS. Flutter is a framework developed by Google, the most recent of all. It mainly uses Dart language but a new flutter plugin project supports flutter to interact with other scripting languages ​​like python, java, ruby, golang, rust, etc.

    Such mass tagging people isn't the best idea. Post within relevant community, add proper tags and people that are interested in your content will have a chance to find it without being annoyed by random notifications.

    Please note that tags should be in a tag field, not in content area.

      Thanks for the list of potential people to follow with the tagging everyone and their mother. I know some aren't fans of mass tagging for relevant things, but community building to me is a ok. Even if the post content itself was a shruggie "meh".

      Oh, and that is for the shoutout again.
