The distinction between mobile Web development and mobile app development

1. Mobile Web Development

This part of the Web front-end development is not very different, the use of technology are HTML+CSS+JS. The difference is that the mobile browser is the world of WebKit, PC is the world of IE. Mobile Web pages can be understood as a smaller version of the PC Web page plus some touch features. Because it is a Web page development in the browser, all the final code has the characteristics of a cross-system platform.

2. Web App Development

Specifically, it is developed with HTML5 technology, which is called Web App because he is closer to the user experience of the client application, can be deeply fused with the system, call some functions that only the client can call (such as the Web page developed by HTML5 on the mobile device can access the local functions such as phone, webcam, etc.) .

3.native app Development

Native Client Development Android for Java,ios for Objective-c

What is the difference between WebApp and native app?

Native App:
1, the development cost is very big.
The general use of the development language is Java, C + +, objective-c.
2, the update experience is poor, but also more troublesome
Every time a new release is released, it needs to be packaged and needs to be manually updated (some applications require a nasty hint even if the user doesn't need to be manually updated).
3, very cool
Because the native app can invoke UI controls in iOS with UI methods, it can implement some very cool interactions that WebApp can't implement
4. Native app is recognized by Apple
The Native app can be recognized by Apple as a trusted standalone software that can be sold on Apple Stroe, but web apps don't.

Web App:
1. Low development cost
Web App development can be done easily with web development technology
2, the upgrade is relatively simple
Upgrade does not need to notify the user, update the file on the server, the user does not feel at all
3, maintenance is relatively easy
And the general web, maintenance is relatively simple, it is actually a site WebApp is an iphone, Android optimized Web site, it uses the technology is nothing more than HTML or HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Service-side Technology Java, PHP, ASP. Of course, since the built-in browsers for these high-end smartphones (Iphone, Android) are based on the WebKit kernel, most of the WebApp are developed using HTML5 and CSS3 technology as a UI layout. When using HTML5 and css3l to do the UI, if you still follow the general web development using HTML4 and CSS2 development way, this will lose the essential meaning of webapp, and some effects can not be achieved, so this is back to our theme – WebApp layout methods and techniques.

Summary: Mobile Web Development is a browser-based Web language technology, native app development is based on the operating system programming language technology, Web apps in between. Of course, it's a popular hybrid app. Reference, W3cfuns
