HTML5
HTML5 apps are marketed as being "write once, run anywhere"
and do not need to be rebuilt for each operating system. However it is
debatable whether or not HTML5 apps will ultimately overtake the native app
stores, such as the Apple App Store and Google Play. BI Intelligence did a
side-by-side comparison of HTML5 vs.
Native Apps in a recent report that illustrates the strengths and weaknesses of
the two respective platforms. They found that the native apps still provide a
better user experience and performance and have a superior monetization model.
However, according to the report HTML5 apps update quicker, have more available
programming expertise, and stack up better against fragmentation challenges.
This article relates to this week's reading in regards to its discussion of
HTML5 apps, as we read about basic HTML5.
I know some basic HTML commands and I remember
when XHTML was supposed to be the next big thing in computer programming,
however it looks as though that distinction now goes to HTML5. I was previously
unaware of any HTML5 apps, and I would be interested to test one out and see
how inferior the user experience actually is if the reports are true. I'm not
sure what language is used to code native apps for the iOS, but I can't help
but wonder if the emergence of HTML5 apps will make the app creation process
more accessible for a larger group of programmers. It would be great to have
more people focusing on applications that can run across multiple platforms, as
some of these apps really do make like more convenient and interesting.
