Mobility is a journey, not destination
Mobile application development is the process by which application software is developed
for low-power handheld devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise
digital assistants or mobile phones. These applications can be pre-installed on
phones during manufacturing, downloaded by customers from various mobile software
distribution platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side
processing (e.g. JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within
a Web browser. Application software developers also have to consider a lengthy array
of screen sizes, hardware specifications and configurations because of intense competition
in mobile software and changes within each of the platforms. Mobile app development
has been steadily growing, both in terms of revenues and jobs created.
