The field of computer sciences and the web and mobile application development is quite vast. With the change in technology, the developers have to improve their skills and mold their strategies and techniques in order to get the best out of their developmental plans. Developing an app or software for the web was easier back then than making applications that suit every platform present today. As soon as the app was developed, the social media services in Dubai and those available all around the world would get hold of the app features and advertise them on social media. In this way, both development and marketing would produce favorable results for the app.
With the passage of time, this simple approach to an application’s success has changed. The different levels of programming, use of maximum codes, and multiple test drives have innovated the simple process. Now, the developers need to be smarter, faster, and more creative to come up with a mobile and game app that would survive the market competition.
To help you as a developer in honing your developmental skills, we have gathered the top seven things that you can do. They are as follows:
1. Make use of ‘design thinking
We are often stuck as soon as a problem arises in the development process, right? To tackle this situation, get past it, and produce better results, the developer needs to do the design thinking. This is the process of thinking about a problem over and over again and coming up with multiple solutions by considering all the options. Then you can experiment with these solutions to see whether you land at your desired place or not.
2. Keep the design and development process simple
The goals while designing an app are to build an app that appeals to a wide range of audiences. Some developers cross the line in going pro and make the design and app complicated instead. You have to avoid this mistake! A developer should make a simple app that is easy to use and easily understandable. The online tools, cloud services, and open source software are available in the market to help you go through this process easily.
The social media company Dubai gathered the audience response and made a reflective statement. It said that in game development, the design matters a lot, and so do the other minor yet attractive details like level features, add-ons, sound effects, and so on. By keeping the design and development process simple, you can merge several things without making them difficult for the users to understand.
3. Learning the active phone number trick
Mobile phones are changing the world and transforming it into a digital platform where marketers, sellers, and buyers all come in contact via social media or web-based platforms. Thus, it is necessary to make full use of it, and in order to do so, the mobile developers need to make use of the ‘active phone number’ feature. As mobile phones can make calls, it is worthwhile to add the phone number to the page code. You can wrap the number in the <a href>tag, instead of http:/.
4. Work on the position of plugins on the website
Working out the right position of the plugins and adding them to the website is quite tough. If you decide to go on with the fixed position of the navigation options and contact bar that is at the bottom, a few browsers might not support that. There have been reports that a few mobile phones convert the fixed position into a static position, and this disturbs the overall setting. Thus, to help you in your mobile development program, here are the mobile systems that support fixed features in CSS:
- Android 3 and above
- Mobile Safari iOS and above
- BlackBerry 7.0 and above
5. Focus on the back-end as well
The developers have to focus on back-end development as well. Like other jobs, this task is important too. If you really want to hone your skills, just make sure you have a pre-planned pattern set in your mind that you have to follow in order to achieve your goals. The back-end development revolves around the transfer of data, security, maintenance programs, frameworks, operating systems, and changes in the app stores. Being a developer, you should take care of these things as well.
6. Learn the latest language and programming techniques
The career path of a developer requires constant learning. Whatever pops up as the new shiny toy in the development market, you need to grab it. Practice the technique and become the best at it. This will help you put up a great competition in the market. Among many, the most important thing in app development is programming. You need to become a valuable programmer. Learn the latest trending language and practice coding as much as you can. JavaScript and Python are the two major top-notch languages in the market these days. Become an expert in these languages.
7. Image quality maintenance skill
Whatever you build, it is necessary to keep the image resolution that fits the screen perfectly, looks good, and has a nice response to screen resolution. Using the low-quality image might earn a profit in the beginning, but soon this spike of success is going to fade out. Thus, for developers, it is essential to make their website ready for retina screens. Using the JavaScript framework retina.js is an amazing option. This framework, using Apple’s @2x naming convention, switches the standard images with the ones having high resolution. Learn this skill and see how it changes your world.
