Swift is a powerful and intuitive programming language that is
designed to build apps for iOS, macOS, Apple TV, and Apple Watch. It’s designed
to give developers more freedom than ever before, making it easier to create
incredible things.
Swift is fast and efficient, supplying real-time feedback and
seamless integration into existing Objective-C code. As a result, developers
have more freedom than ever before to write safer, more reliable code that
saves time and creates richer app experiences.
Swift was developed by Apple in 2014 as an alternative to
Objective-C, which had been in use since 1982. It’s now being taught at
universities around the world as an introduction to programming languages.
It integrates seamlessly
with current Objective-C code.
• Great apps built
using Swift include 6X faster than Objective-C
• Up to 8.4X faster
than Python 2.7
• 10,000 numbers were discovered in a graph using the depth-first search
algorithm.
• Educators are incorporating Swift into their curricula.
• Hybrid App
Development
While a native mobile application is written using the native
development language and tools specific to that platform, a hybrid app uses web
technologies as its core. This is what makes it possible for developers to use
a single codebase across multiple platforms.
As such, hybrid apps are much easier to create than native ones. You
don't need to learn multiple languages or work within different programming
paradigms; all you need is knowledge of HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. This also
means that there are fewer bugs in hybrid apps because they don't have to be
tested separately on each platform before being released into the wild (or
rather onto app stores).
The UI library must be
recreated, as with the web-only application solution. This is where solutions
such as Ionic, NativeScript, Xamarin, React Native, and others come into play.
All these solutions provide strong UI components that appear and feel like
their native counterparts, providing you with a complete set of essential
components for your hybrid mobile app.
Unless you are developing a
high-performance game or another similar application, hybrid mobile app
development may be the best option because it provides a simpler development method and cost
savings.
