Web and apps who are the internet for the future

 According to a number of authoritative reports in China, as a multi-year professional internet company Yan Emperor Network Technology Comprehensive Assessment forecast, 2016 global Internet equipment is expected to reach 10 billion units. If the global population reaches 7.3 billion by then, it means that an average of 1.4 devices will be available per person. Smart traffic will grow 50 times times, and the efficiency of downloading applications for smartphones and tablet users will grow. By the end of December 2012, Chinese netizens reached 564 million, internet penetration rate was 42.1%, and sustained low-speed growth. Compared with this, mobile phone network indicators of the overall growth rate beyond the traditional network, mobile phones in micro-BO users and e-commerce applications also appear relatively fast growth, mobile phone has become the largest Internet users in China, but the current mobile phone there are two different ways of information access that is the Web and app, Faced with the traditional web way, the app is a rapid growth, a big replacement of the trend, the future belongs to whom.

1. What is the common denominator between web and app?

Apps and the Web can be used in a variety of handheld devices, such as smartphones (such as iphone,android).

2. What is the difference between Web and app?

In the web, the browser can be used to browse any Internet content, but the network connection must be real-time, the web has a lot of flexibility to display text content, data, images and video. They can also access mobile-specific features, such as calling (dialing a phone number) or location-based services.

The app needs to be downloaded and installed on a mobile device, and users need access to a specific device's portal site to find and download apps such as Apple's App Store Apple Store, Android Market. The app can push Internet content and data and can download content so it can be used when it's not connected to the Internet.

Which is better-an app or a Web?

When it comes to deciding to choose an app or Web, the most appropriate choice actually depends on the purpose you use. If it is a highly interactive content or an application with high security requirements, it is likely that the app will be your best choice. However, if your goal is to enrich as many content as possible, the web may be a good choice. In some cases, whether you want to use the Web or the app, it depends on your choice.

The inherent flaw of the web is the dependence on the network, and the defect of the app is the uniqueness of the content.

Web Advantage: If you consider broad accessibility, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness, such as marketing or communications, there are inherent advantages to the web, including broader accessibility, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Convenient access: The Web is instantly accessible via a user's browser via a mobile device (iphone,android, etc.). On the other hand the app requires users to first download and install apps from an app market that can view previous content or apps-a major hurdle between initial contact until familiar.

Cross-device compatibility-compatible: Many different types of mobile device access can be the same site, while apps need to differentiate between different types of devices. In addition, Web URLs are easily integrated in other mobile technologies such as SMS, barcode, QR Code and Near field communication (NFC), etc.

Upgradeable-can be updated instantly: Web upgrades and device independence. If you want to change the design or content of the Web, you just need to edit the publication once, is immediately visible changes will not be subject to the terminal, the app needs to update the client after the push to the user.

Shareable-Web easy to share: Web URLs are easily recorded and sent through a simple link (e.g. in email, SMS or Weibo). You can easily direct users to a Web application and even print what you need. An app cannot be shared in this way at all.

Comprehensive-the web has greater coverage: Because the Web is cross-platform accessible and can easily be shared by users, as well as search engines, it has the ability to reach more broadly than the original app.

Life cycle-The web cannot be deleted: According to research, the life cycle of an app is very short, less than 30 days. So, unless the app really has some originality that no one else can replace, how long it takes to survive on a mobile device is a problem, and the web doesn't exist.

Time and cost-the web is easier and cheaper: the web has a lower cost than app, as we mentioned earlier, the app needs to release the version separately for different platforms.

Does the traditional app make sense?

Despite the many inherent advantages of the mobile network, the app still has the meaning of his presence: interactive/game-interactive games using apps seems to be only the only option, at least for the foreseeable future. Often use/personalize-app of personalized presentation, for example: Ervernote. Complex calculations or reports: If you need complex calculations and operations, and generate graphs or reports, in this case the app will provide you with maximum help. Native features or processing requirements-when using certain features such as calls, SMS and GPS, the web now does not seem to be doing poorly. However, if you need to access the user's webcam or fully tap the processing power of your device, the app will still do better. No Internet connection: If you need to use offline access to content or if there is no network, the app becomes irreplaceable.

The web can be a app!

As HTML5 matures, the web has been able to overcome some of his own flaws and become an app. HTML5 has fundamentally changed the way developers develop web apps, from desktop browsers to mobile apps, which are impacting and will continue to affect the various operating platforms. In the Mobile world, the question is whether to develop a web app or a native app, and with the development of the HTML5 standard, the difference between the two has gradually become blurred. As we can see, Facebook has invested heavily in developing HTML5-based apps that are online. HTML5 is a new network standard that unifies the Facebook experience across all mobile platforms. Facebook will probably rewrite all of its smartphone apps to turn them into programs written in a more unified HTML5 that can be used in all smart devices. Web architects want to build cross-platform web apps that can be accessed by browsers, not specific browsers or local apps. This means that the closed app will go open, but there is more or less misunderstanding about the open web, like Facebook's social networking site is not really open.

Conclusion

The web and the app should be kingdoms beginning of the sentence: a long time will and, a long time will be divided, with the development of new technology web and app convergence trend has been highlighted, the future of the Internet will be the world of web apps.

For app development, the app can only run under a specific operating system when it has been limited to major operating systems. Each version upgrade will be a new version of the release for different devices. The HTML5-based web app is not a one-time release, because HTML is compatible with all operating systems and browsers, so as long as the release of a version of the app can meet the needs of different devices, version updates become faster and more convenient, resulting in significant cost savings.

Second, for us, the Web app on the mobile device no longer needs to download the update every time, just open the browser, you can use the latest version of the app.

The web and apps have been integrated. But web App is only a future, is the direction of technology implementation efforts, is the demand for market business operations!!
