Welcome all readers, Nowadays everybody uses a Smartphone. A Smartphone not only encompass the hardware, that makes it superb but also, the mobile apps to most of the user spends time with. Earlier these apps were made with android, or Swift. Any application build with either of the Framework, is known as native apps that intends to be operate on the particular platform either android, or iPhone. So if any user intended to launch any app on number of platform, He had to create app with different language for different platform. But, this problem was eradicated by the Hybrid apps, that targets number of platform and consumer simultaneously without adding overhead to developer community of learning multiple Language. Mostly these apps were build with React JS which is a javascript. It’s reduces a lot’s of headache but one have to learn Javascript and will consume your precious time.
A person who is a Web backend developer who usually spends lot’s of time doing and putting things in action with PHP have to follow the steep learning path, that is more brainstorming an mostly needs sleepless nights to do that. But there’s a good news, You can build applications with the PHP also. You might be shocked. Yes, Now no more sleepless nights, Let me introduce your life saver.

Value of native Apps
A native app has better performance because it takes into account the use of the device. It is not just a web which adapts to a mobile. Within a native app, the users’ experience is totally different. It relates to how the app interacts with the device. From a native app, the user has a different way to access the devices’ resources.

At last I would like to add that never constraint any language or frameworks in the path of Learning, due to its syntax or capability. It’s the developer who raise above from the reason of counting number of zeroes in his bank balance and want to solve the problem which everybody is facing through his learning and innovate something new which enhance the capabilities of the language. Learn everything with love. Keep visiting Tekraze for more updates coming. Don’t forget to share as sharing is caring. Have a nice day.
