SUMMARY OF TOPICS
1. Introduction to Application Development
Application Development Goal: Creating software applications for specific tasks or functionalities. Development Stages: Requirements gathering, design, coding, testing, deployment, and maintenance. Types of Applications: o Mobile Apps: Built for smartphones and tablets using languages like Kotlin (Android) and Swift (iOS). o Web Apps: Run on browsers using HTML, CSS, JavaScript and do not require installation. o Desktop Apps: Software designed for PC environments, often built using C++, Java, .NET. o Cloud Applications: Hosted on cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. 2. Key Technologies in Development Programming Languages: o Mobile: Kotlin, Swift, React Native o Web: JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Angular o Game Development: C++, Unity o Enterprise Applications: Java, Python, .NET Development Frameworks: o Front-end: React, Angular o Back-end: Node.js, Django, Spring Boot o Mobile: Flutter (Cross-platform), React Native o Game Engines: Unity, Unreal Engine Databases: o Relational Databases (SQL-based): MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server o NoSQL Databases: MongoDB Version Control & DevOps Tools: o Version Control: Git (GitHub, GitLab) o CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Deployment): Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes 3. Development Methodologies Agile: Iterative approach with continuous feedback. Scrum: Agile framework with sprints for incremental updates. DevOps: Collaboration between development & operations for faster deployment. Waterfall: Sequential, phase-by-phase development process. Lean: Focuses on efficiency by eliminating waste. Rapid Application Development (RAD): Emphasizes prototyping and quick iterations. 4. Trends in Modern Application Development Low-Code/No-Code Development: Uses pre-built components to reduce manual coding. Cross-Platform Development: Allows a single codebase to run on multiple platforms (e.g., Flutter, React Native). Cloud Computing: Enables scalable and accessible applications. Internet of Things (IoT): Integrates applications with smart devices. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Web applications that provide a native-like experience. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning: Enhances applications with AI-driven functionalities. 5. Best Practices in Application Development Requirements Analysis: Conducted before development begins to define app functionality. Testing & Debugging: Includes unit testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing. Security Measures: Prevents threats like SQL injection and ensures data protection. Performance Optimization: Improves app speed, efficiency, and resource usage. CI/CD Pipelines: Automates software deployment for smoother updates. Modular Code & Clean Architecture: Improves maintainability and scalability. 6. Application Deployment & Maintenance Deployment Platforms: o Cloud Platforms: AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure o Mobile App Stores: Google Play Store, Apple App Store o Web Hosting: AWS, Firebase, Netlify Post-Deployment: Monitoring, debugging, and updating applications as needed.
