8 Best Cross-Platform Dev Tools for Mobile App

Mobile applications are no longer a luxury, but have become a necessity of day to day life. One of the biggest challenges that app developers faced before was creating applications that work well on multiple platforms. Not anymore; here we are sharing the top 9 cross-platform dev tools for mobile app development tools that will help in designing cutting edge and productive apps in a short duration of time. 8. Codename One This cross-device platform helps in developing industry-based applications. The platform supports rapid application development. The developer can write code in Java and the application will be tested and verified with Codename One’s simulator devices and test automation tools. The framework supports popular IDEs like NetBeans, Eclipse, and IntelliJ IDEA. The most interesting feature about its build server is that the developer can build native iOS apps as well as native Windows apps without a Mac machine or Windows PC. The platform is recommended for developing iOS apps. Cons: Codename’s graphic UI does not match the requirements of large projects and its visual themes are not updated. Another major flaw is that all the event handlers are stored in a single file, which makes the development part more cumbersome. 7. PhoneGap This open-source platform can make building cross-platform apps a lot easier. The tool works best for mobile applications that do not rely on the device’s native features for performance. A product of Adobe, one can use it to translate code from HTMT5, CSS, and JavaScript. The PhoneGap platform allows the developer to design app for platforms like iPhone, Android, Windows, and BlackBerry. This free resource is high in demand among developers due to its features and support that it offers. Cons: The only limitation in this tool is it is not suitable for graphics-intensive apps. 6. Appcelerator This tool makes it possible for coders to create cross-platform apps with speed. The tool deploys a JavaScript codebase. The plus point of this tool is it is extensible and open. The developer can create apps for platforms like iOS, Android, and BlackBerry; it even supports HTML5 and hybrid apps. The Appceleratortool has an open-source SDK and supports more than 5,000 devices and OS APIs, Eclipse-based IDE Studio, and the MVC framework Alloy. Cons: The only disadvantage that we have come across so far about the tool is its support team, especially the developer community, which is slow in response. 5. Sencha Ext JS The Sencha Touch platform is an ideal choice for a cross-platform mobile app framework. The framework allows developers to build cutting-edge apps Cons: The native looking themes are limited. The commercial licensing feature is not easy to comprehend. 4. Monocross If you need Dev Tools for Mobile App to build interactive and interesting apps for smartphones and tablets, then Monocross is the framework is for you. This open-source, cross-platform framework supports C#, Microsoft, .NET, and the Mono framework. What makes this tool interesting is that it gives the developer full access to the native device APIs while still coding in C#. Cons: The document and support for the Monocross framework are few in number on the internet, so developers may find themselves in a tricky situation while developing the app, as they don’t have enough resources to learn about the framework. 3. RAD Studio You can create apps for Android devices including phones, tablets, and now wearables like Smart Watches with RAD Studio. Develop Android […]

4 Best IDE’s for Android App Development

An IDE or Integrated Development Environment is a comprehensive solution that gives the opportunity to the mobile app developers to perform the software development cycle continuously and at a faster pace. The development cycle includes design, writing, compiling, test and debug the code. Specifically for Android app development, Google has given Android Studio IDE that is derived from IntelliJ IDEA. For rapid development, it’s recommended for mobile app developers to use IDE’s. So, here is a list of the best free IDE for Android app development: 1. Visual Studio – Xamarin Xamarin was launched in 2011 which is the best free Integrated Development Environment or IDE. Delivering an enterprise-quality, cross-platform approach, Xamarin has become the most popular integrated environment developed for iOS, Android, and Windows. Visual Studio is the best tool for mobile developers. Microsoft not only includes built-in services but also gives tools to manage small to large teams, build services, and manage versions. Platform: Mobile and desktop solution with C# in one integrated development environment or IDE and deploy to iOS, Android, and Windows. Test Cloud: Has the power of continuous integration in the cloud allowing the internal and external teams to test the code. Insights: The usage of the app and the latest trends. The improvement of the core tools for delivery is always on priority. The team members include UI/UX, quality analyst, deployment, steady-support and validation of success. 2. Android Studio Developed by Google, Android Studio is an allrounder integrated development environment that allows the Android developers to get what they desire without an Integrated Development Environment or IDE. Android has Gradle-base support that has features like visual layout editor, intelligent code editor, real-time profilers and APK analyzer. It acts just like any other Java IDE in terms of error investigating and file hierarchy. 3. IntelliJ IDEA for Android App Development Having a clean and exquisite interface, it specializes in enterprise web and mobile app development with the help of Java, Scala, Kotlin, Groovy and many different frameworks that are for Android application development. The detailed documentation helps in seamless integration which is easy to understand. Multiple plugins are available to perform any task. The framework based assistance, productivity boosters, unobtrusive intelligence, duplicates, and inspections are provided with the IDE. Using this IDE, you can do in-depth coding, quick navigation, and error analysis. In the community edition of IntelliJ IDEA can be accessed free to develop JVM and Android app development but in the Ultimate Edition that can be accessed at a cost for out of box applications. Solicită ofertă 4. Eclipse IDE It is one of the most popular IDES of Android apps. The open-source software is free to use. Released under the Eclipse Public License, it holds a large community having plenty of plugins and configurations. Highly customizable offers full support for Java programming language and XML.

Delphi and Linux Docker Support

Over the last few years, it has become more and more common to deploy server side solutions (and in fact any type of application) to lightweight containers rather than physical machines or virtual machines, as this allows more flexibility (also in terms of testing), a better way to rebuild the same execution environment, and more scalability. Along with the 10.3.3 release, Embarcadero has started officially supporting deployment of general Linux applications to Docker containers, specifically supporting the deployment to RAD Server. What is Docker Docker is an OS-level virtualization environment that allows for the packaging and delivery of software as a bundle inside a container file. The container files are executed by the Docker Engine and multiple containers can run side by side on the same Linux installation. Inside each container is an OS-level virtualization environment.  What is Docker Hub? Docker provides a service that allows developers and publishers to distribute Docker images to the public or their team. This service is known as Docker Hub and provides a way for users to use repositories where specific Docker Images are located. Docker repositories also allow for Docker Image versioning. Docker Hub contains official images such as the Ubuntu image that can be used as starting points for many users.  RAD Studio Linux Docker Containers The RAD Studio Docker containers paserver, pa-radserver, and pa-radserver-ib are available directly from DockerHub and also as Dockerfiles (on GitHub) plus additional helper utilities. When pulling the containers from DockerHub using Docker the organization name has to be prefixed to the container name such as radstudio/paserver, radstudio/pa-radserver, and radstudio/pa-radserver-ib. For this blog post I’ll start focusing on the first one, radstudio/paserver, which does not include RAD Server. Docker containers have a number of different parameters that you can pass to the Docker Engine when starting an instance. Additionally, custom build and run parameters can be defined when building and running a Docker image. A number of custom parameters have been included in the scripts we provide, including for example the password for PAServer. Docker container instances can be run in the foreground where you can interact with an app that is running within the instance or they can be run detached in the background which behaves like a service.  Docker container instances will not by default store any changes to the instance between runs (they are transient images). However, you can set up a persistent Volume within the Docker instance which will store changes between runs of the Docker container instance. A directory within the Docker instance can be mounted to the Volume and any changes made within that directory persist on the Volume between runs of the Docker instance.

The 5 Best Python IDE in 2019

1. PyDev IDE PyDev started as an IDE that primarily worked with Eclipse, allowing Pythonista’s write code on Eclipse. But, no it has expanded beyond Eclipse and now can also be integrated with Visual Studio Code. Although free, PyDev integration with VS Code costs $40 after a free trial of 1 month. Features which makes PyDev best IDE:  All basic autocomplete features that other Python IDE’s provide  Code editing directly inside of Eclipse and Visual Studio Code  Django Integration and ease of unit testing Pros and Cons of PyDev IDE Pros  Open-source  Pylint integration  Debuggers and real-time Cons  Limited Support as its crowdfunded  Less features than other enterprise backed IDEs 2. Spyder Python IDE  SPYDER is actually an acronym that stands for Scientific PYthon Development EnviRonment. This IDE is mainly used by the Scientific Python community. Tools and libraries like Numpy, Scipy, Matplotlib, etc are in-built with this Python IDE. Powerful features specifically built for the scientific programming makes Spyder a preferred IDE. It is also one of the best alternatives for Scientific programmers outside of Matlab. Features which makes Spyder the best IDE for Scientific programming:  Integrated Pylint and Pyflakes for analysis Syntax coloring, breakpoints Code Autocomplete and Variable explorer Comes with most of the scientific programming libraries and framework iPython notebook integration Pros and Cons of Spyder IDE: Pros Built to support data analysis and visualization Leverage autocomplete and syntax highlight for efficient programming Helps you leverage iPython notebook to perform a more granular analysis of your code Real-time code analysis and feedback Cons Lack of version control Lack of integration of a debugger 3. PyCharm IDE PyCharm, an IDE developed and maintained by JetBrains is one of the most popular Python IDE. In a survey done by JetBrains, more than 20% of developers mentioned Pycharm as their preferred IDE. As an IDE, PyCharm does much more than just allowing you to import libraries and write code. It is a professional-grade IDE that allows Python developers to write production-grade and maintainable code. Features which makes PyCharm the best Python IDE: Code completion and automatic error detection Smart Code Navigation to help you quickly get to the right class, file, symbols, etc Makes refactoring painless with safe Rename and Delete. Easy to push project-wide changes Easy to implement unit tests and graphical UI tests with Python profiler Automated Deployment CI/CD pipeline integration Database integration – Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and other major databases Remote Development – you can write your Python code with PyCharm’s Professional Edition. Pros and Cons of PyCharm IDE Pros Smart features like Autocomplete helping devs write code faster PyCharm supports multiple frameworks Highly reliable for production-grade processes Cons : Costs around $199 per year per user PyCharm has certain performance issues on Windows OS There’s a learning curve associated with PyCharm Requires SSD and considerable memory size  4. Visual Studio Code Once the nemesis of FOSS software, Microsoft has, under the stewardship of Satya Nadella, taken a much friendlier stance towards all things open source. The company may not be about to release the source code to Visual Studio, but in 2015 it did release a source code editor, Visual Studio Code – or Code for short – and open-sourced the core of it. Code has since become rather popular amongst developers, and it’s a fine choice […]

14 Best JavaScript IDE in 2019

Today, you can easily find a great and free JavaScript IDE and develop apps with ease. Whether you need a JavaScript IDE, an HTML IDE, or any other web development IDE, they are all out there and many of them are open-source. So let’s dig a bit deeper and find the best IDE for web development. What is the difference between IDE and Text Editor? Web development IDE does all the things simple text editors do plus a number of more advanced stuff that you can’t do with text editors. For instance, while an editor such as Sublime or Atom can be used as an HTML CSS JavaScript editor, they only allow you to write code. Of course, they come with a bunch of convenient features such as syntax highlighting, customizable interfaces, and extensive navigation tools, you will need additional features to make a functional app. For example, you will need a debugger and a compiler. However, with the best IDEs, you won’t have to worry about that. They often come with additional tools for automating, testing, and visualizing the development process. Basically, they equip you with everything you need to turn code into a functioning app or program. So what is the best IDE for you? We will help you choose the best free IDE that will be your new favorite HTML CSS editor or free JavaScript editor. 1. Visual Studio Code Visual Studio Code is possibly the best JavaScript ide for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Not only does it support JavaScript, but it also supports Node.js, TypeScript, and it comes with a whole ecosystem of extensions for other languages including C++, C#, Python, PHP, etc. It provides great syntax highlighting and autocomplete with IntelliSense based on variable types, function definitions, and imported modules. It also allows you to debug code by launching or attaching to your running apps debug with breakpoints, call stacks, and an interactive console. You can effortlessly integrate a JavaScript UI library into Visual Studio Code. All in all, this IDE for JavaScript is definitely one to check out. An important note – it is free to use. To get the most productivity out of the Visual Studio Code, we recommend this quick 1-hour online course, which will guide you through adding custom hotkeys, creating templates and boilerplates to increase coding speed, integrating with GitHub to be able to work on Git repositories without leaving VS Code. 2. RJ TextEd RJ TextEd is high on our list fighting for the spot of the best IDE for JavaScript. It is a full-featured text and source editor with Unicode support and all in all, a great IDE for web development. It supports not only JavaScript, but also PHP, ASP, HTML, and CSS. Some of the most important features of this web development IDE include but are not limited to: Auto-completion. Code folding Column mode Multi-edit and multi-select Document map Annotation bar Advanced sorting Handles both ASCII and binary files CSS and HTML wizards Highlighting of colors in CSS/SASS/LESS An advanced color hint that can convert between color formats Dockable panels FTP and SFTP client with synchronization File explorer, text clips, code explorer, project manager Convert between code pages, Unicode formats and text formats Unicode and ANSI code page detection Open/Save UTF-8 encoded files without a signature (BOM) Unicode file paths and file names HTML validation, format, and repair Tools available like syntax editor, color picker, charmap 3. Light Table Light Table is a […]
