Hybrid mobile applications are certainly reliable and have consistently proven to be efficient for the implementation of scenarios. These applications can access native mobile features such as the camera, compass, directories, and settings. This reduces costs and the duration of the development life cycle, which is the biggest advantage. In this chapter, we will have an introduction to and learn how to develop mobile applications with IBM Worklight.
If your perspective is primarily relevant to marketing or public interaction, a hybrid application is almost always going to make sense as a practical first step in your mobile outreach strategy. This is because a hybrid application has a number of advantages over native applications, including broader accessibility, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. We will now discuss web technologies in detail.
HTML5 is the most versatile and easy-to-use web technology in the modern world. Most of it has been constructed in Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG). The World Wide Web's markup language has always been HTML. HTML was mainly created to make web development an easy task. Besides, the general design and adaptations have made it possible to utilize HTML to define a number of documents. The area of concern that's been occasionally addressed by HTML is ambiguous and is referred to as Web Application Development. This HTML specification attempts to improve web application development structure. In this specification, the ability to update HTML references in order to address issues regarding web compatibility has also been enhanced.
