Vision Mobile Report With Mobile World Congress wrapping up last week, the clear presence of Android, lack of presence of Apple, and continued nudging of Windows Phone demonstrate the critical importance of cross-platform development in mobile. Gone are the days of building solely for the Apple fan. As you know, LiveCode is one of the best at mobile app creation across every major platform and for whatever development purpose -- enterprise or small business, games or educational -- and a new report by VisionMobile features LiveCode prominently as one of the top tools for developers, new and experienced alike. The smart folks at VisionMobile have spent several months and countless hours digging into mobile development trends and tools, and their new report, Cross-Platform Developer Tools 2012, centers on the development platforms, languages and environments that are "bridging the worlds of mobile apps and the web." With a deep dive into 100+ tools, the report was formed with input from more than 2,400 developers from 91 countries (including many from the LiveCode community), and presents a range of opportunities and perceptions on key issues and trends for both developers and vendors to consider over the next few years.
LiveCode developers gave high marks to the environment over other cross-platform tools for Platform Breadth, Runtime Performance, Learning Curve, Develop & Debug, Publishing, and Support & Service. Additionally, VisionMobile calls out a host of LiveCode advantages, including:
We were very happy to participate in the report and expect it will be a useful guide for those looking at developing mobile apps for the first time, or extending their expertise across a range of platforms and tools. Take a look at the report and let us know what you think!
