Mobile App Features Trends

-
Image
Consumers and businesses continue to demand more from their apps, and developers are responding by building in new features that take advantage of advancing technology and meet evolving needs and expectations. Almost every app could benefit from one or more of the powerful features listed below. AUGMENTED REALITY One of the most exciting recent technology trends is to enable users to seamlessly combine virtual and real-world experiences. A Clutch survey found: 54% of consumers using e-commerce apps would use augmented reality features if they were available. For example, a retailer’s app could let consumers use the camera in their device to envision how a particular piece of furniture would look in different places around the home or how a particular cosmetic product would look on a user’s face. A children’s drawing app could come to life with 3D animations. A browser app could draw on partner services to show geographically or historically relevant information or to give di...

5 Best Python Frameworks for WebView Testing

-
Image
Python has become one of the most widely used programming languages. The reason behind its popularity is that it is extremely easy to use and allows you to create platform independent programs. It is a high-level language and has all the important features that make a good programing language. It also supports OOPs, i.e. Object Oriented Programming concepts. The syntax of Python is very different from C or C++ and simpler too. This makes it easy to learn and understand. Python language is mainly used for server-side web development, software development, mobile app development, and many other purposes. However, it is best used to create hybrid applications. What Are Hybrid Applications? Hybrid applications are a combination of native mobile applications and web applications. These applications are available for download in mobile stores like any other mobile application. Hybrid applications contain a built-in web browser and allow you to see web content from within the mobile ap...

Continuous integration vs. continuous delivery vs. continuous deployment

-
Image
CI and CD are two acronyms that are often mentioned when people talk about modern development practices. CI is straightforward and stands for continuous integration, a practice that focuses on making preparing a release easier. But CD can either mean continuous delivery or continuous deployment, and while those two practices have a lot in common, they also have a significant difference that can have critical consequences for a business. We will see in this article what these three practices mean and what's required to use them. What are the differences between continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment? Continuous integration Developers practicing continuous integration merge their changes back to the main branch as often as possible. The developer's changes are validated by creating a build and running automated tests against the build. By doing so, you avoid the integration hell that usually happens when people wait for release day to merge...

Что такое проект, процесс, методологии разработки софта, требования, тестирование, разница между QA и QC?

-
Image
1. Что такое проект? Проект - это стремление создать уникальный продукт или услугу, ограниченный определенным временем, а следовательно с определенным объемом работ и ресурсами. Проектом может быть или разработка программного обеспечения или строительство моста или освоение нового рынка для продаж. Самое главное в проекте - это то, что он должен быть грамотно и умело управляемым для того, чтобы предоставить результаты своевременно, в пределах бюджета, и именно то, что хочет заказчик или организация. 2. Что такое процесс? Для проектов определены 5 основных этапов процесса. Это инициирование проекта > планирование > выполнение > контроль и мониторинг > и закрытие проекта. Очень хорошо и наглядно процесс показан на этой диаграмме: Но нужно понимать, что эти этапы могут быть довольно комплексными и продолжительными. Например, если посмотреть на этап планирования, то это не одноразовое событие а продолжительное. Также он может включать несколько видов планирования: страт...

Which Programming Language Should You Learn Next?

-
Image
Whether you’re an expert developer or a complete beginner, it’s always a good idea to learn a new programming language. Of course, there’s not really one single language that every professional or aspiring developer must absolutely learn. The next language you choose to learn will depend on your current skill level and your overall career aspirations. Don’t worry: I’ll break down your options in this article to help you figure out which programming language to tackle next. I’ll recommend three languages (one for beginners, one for intermediate developers, and one for experts), along with several alternatives you might prefer, depending on your preferences. But first, let’s look at current trends to see which languages are gaining/falling in popularity. Trends in programming languages The chart below shows the most in-demand programming languages in 2018 compared to 2017. Despite the fact that Java is more than 20 years old, it’s still the most popular programming language...

7 Things to Start Being More Productive, Today

Sometimes, working less can actually produce better results. The key to success is not working hard. It’s working smart. Here are seven things I stopped doing to become more productive. 1. Stop working overtime and increase your productivity instead. 2. Don’t say “yes” too often “The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything.” — Warren Buffett 3. Stop doing everything yourself and start letting people help you 4. Stop being a perfectionist “We found that perfectionism trips up professors on the way to research productivity. The more perfectionistic the professor, the less productive they are,” Dr. Simon Sherry, a psychology professor at Dalhousie University who conducted a study on perfectionism and productivity , told University Affairs. Dr. Sherry found a robust correlation between increased perfectionism and decreased productivity. Here are some problems associated with being a perfectionist: -...

Apache Cordova Tutorial: Developing Mobile Applications with Cordova

-
Image
Mobile applications are creeping in everywhere, starting with smartphones and tablets, to smart watches, and soon be found in other wearables, too. However, developing for each separate mobile platform can be an exhaustive task, especially if your resources are limited, or if you are a single developer. This is where becoming a  well-versed Apache Cordova developer  can come in handy by providing a way to develop mobile applications using standard web technologies—HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. In 2009, a startup called Nitobi created PhoneGap, an open source API for accessing native mobile resources, with the goal of enabling developers to create mobile applications using standard web technologies. In Nitobi’s vision, most mobile applications would soon be developed using PhoneGap, but developers would still have the option of writing native code when necessary, be it due to performance issues, or lack of a method of accessing specific hardware. Cordova PhoneGap? There’s...
