Introduction

In this blog post, I will highlight the pros and cons about mobile development platforms and the common software architecture patterns used and the journey of HNG Internship.

Lets us begin💃💃

Mobile Development Platforms

Mobile app development platforms are generally of 2 types:

• Native app development platforms: As the name implies, these platforms are designed to build apps for a specific mobile operating system, such as iOS or Android. Examples are Kotlin, Swift UI, Objective-C, Java etc.

• Cross-platform app development platforms: These platforms allow developers to create apps that can run on multiple mobile operating systems using a single codebase. Example includes Flutter, React Native etc.

Some specific benefits of mobile app development platforms include:

• Ease of use: Mobile app development platforms often provide a user-friendly interface and a set of pre-built components and features that can help simplify the development process. This can be especially useful for companies new to mobile app development.

• Cross-platform compatibility: Some mobile app development platforms allow developers to create apps that can run on multiple mobile operating systems using a single codebase.

• Integration with cloud-based services: Many mobile app development platforms provide integration with cloud-based services and tools. This can help simplify the development process and reduce the need for developers to build and maintain their own servers and infrastructure.

• Testing and debugging tools: Mobile app development platforms often provide a range of tools and services for testing and debugging apps, including simulators and emulators, as well as tools for tracking and fixing issues. This can help developers ensure that their apps are high quality and perform well on different devices and operating systems.

Software Architecture Pattern used

A mobile app architecture is a combination of model/design and techniques used to build a mobile application. It functions as the structure for a mobile application that will take shape according to the architecture.

Example of this architectures includes:

• Model-View-Controller (MVC)

• Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)

• Clean Architecture

• TDD

• State Management Architecture(Provider Architecture, Stacked Architecture etc).

My Journey starting with HNG Internship

HNG is a company that works with the very best techies to help them enhance their skills through the HNG internship program and build their network. They also work with clients to find them the best technical talent across the globe.

Mobile development is a rapidly evolving field that requires a continuous learning mindset. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of different development platforms and architecture patterns, I am better prepared to make informed decisions in my projects. The HNG Internship is a stepping stone toward achieving my goals, and I am excited to embark on this journey, ready to learn, grow, and contribute to the world of mobile development.
