High Demand for Mobile App Development

The spread of cell phone usage and technology has risen dramatically in a very short time frame. In less than a decade, cell phones went from clunky, communication-only tools that were used mostly by business professionals. Now it is considered highly unusual for anyone over the age of 16 to not own a cell phone—and, most of the time, this means a smart phone. Cell phones are not just for speaking anymore. Now there are dozens of books and articles covering research on “iPhone addiction” and other bizarre, but very real, technology-induced psychological affectations. In order to flourish in this personal technology-dependent society, companies must make their web services available on smart phones. As a result, mobile app development is a service that is going to be increasingly in demand.


What Apps Can Do

A mobile app should not be thought of in the same way as a mobile website. A website is designed for storing and browsing lots of information, and, in some cases, allowing users to complete an array of tasks (e.g. compiling an online “shopping cart,” purchasing a few items, and saving the information on the rest for later). Alternatively, an app is best for smaller numbers of more specific tasks, such as playing a game, storing and encrypting a single type of information (e.g. passwords), or typing dictated speech.


How They Can Do It 

Computers have much more storage capacity and processing power than smart phones (though phone technology has made impressive strides in closing some of this gap). In order to carry out this array of functions, regular application software has to be adapted to run on less powerful machines. Additionally, mobile app software has to be compatible with devices that have multiple different screen sizes and hardware specifications. All these complications require different development strategies to be used when programming apps. App developers use something called a platform, which uses different operating systems to translate code into programs that can then be executed on the phones that download the app. Currently, Android is the most popular mobile app development platform. This platform uses the Linux operating system and is compatible with the widest array of mobile phones. The second most popular platform is iOS, which uses an operating system that is very similar to the OSX system on Mac computers. These different platforms are the major reason that you will find different apps for iPhones and Android phones.

The Basics of Google Search Results

Starting a website for your business can require a great deal of energy and time, though it is something that is extremely important. A website is a sort of permanent advertisement for your business. You will be able to post information about the products and services that you offer, in addition to any other relevant information. You might also be able to sell your products through your website, which can help you to get customers from around the world. Some people will find your website because of advertisements, referrals, or previous experience with your company, though most people will find your products and services through a search engine. Google, one of the most popular search engines, considers a variety of different factors when it places your website on its searches. Here is a quick look at the basics of Google search results and how you can use them in your favor.

How It Works

When you first create your website, you will need to either wait to have your site picked up by a search engine or notify the company of your site’s presence. Either way, the search engine will eventually pick up your website and do a thorough analysis of its content. Once this is done, the engine will place your website in a certain category that will be linked with specific keywords. When people use these keywords in searches, your website will appear, though it more than likely will not rank very high. Search engines, such as Google, will also have a variety of different factors that they will consider when ranking your website.

Ranking Higher

There are a variety of different things that you can do to make your website rank higher in Google search results. The most important thing is to make sure that your website has a simple and clean design. This will not only help people to more easily access the information that they want, it will also help search engines to classify and sort your website. It is also important that your website receives high ratings and reviews from other people. These ratings will tell the search engine whether or not you have a quality site.

Thanks kid for making my day!

I took off today and TGIF too! I was surprised i got up at 11:30AM, i can't believe it!  I guess my body really needs that sleep as i have been feeling so tired and sleepy the past days.  It is a nice feeling to be free of stress all day especially if we start our day with this video of a kid singing with his father  "Don't Let Me Down" of the Beatles.  I'm sure you will enjoy it!
