Study Notes
- An API (Application Programming Interface) enables different software applications to communicate through a set of rules, protocols, and tools.
- Native apps are developed for specific platforms like iOS or Android using platform-specific languages.
- Web apps are websites designed for access on mobile devices, without requiring download or installation.
- Cross-platform apps use tools and technologies for deployment across multiple platforms like iOS and Android.
- iOS is a closed-source mobile operating system by Apple, exclusively for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices.
- An IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is a software application with a comprehensive development environment, with a code editor and debugging tools.
- UI/UX Design Tools are specialized software applications that help designers create, modify, and explore user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX).
- The backend of an application is responsible for processing data, managing databases, and handling security.
- Mobile Development involves creating software intended to run on mobile devices.
- Hybrid apps blend native and web elements, using web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) wrapped in a native app container.
- Progressive web apps are web apps designed to resemble native apps, accessed through a browser, and installable on devices.
