How Are Apps Built Today?

Watch

Modern application composition dictates a choice of a technology for component implementation. Server components are built with Node.js, Ruby On Rails, PHP, Java, or Microsoft.NET. Web server software is required to execute server components.

Alpha Anywhere Message Board

Developers choose a server-side technology, design APIs, write the code for data access and business rules. The result is deployed to an application server of your choice.

Client components may be implemented as native code for a specific operating system supported by end-user devices, such as iOS, Android, Linux, or Windows.

A popular alternative to native code is hybrid applications. Such applications are composed of HTML pages and JavaScript code packaged in a generic native application with a built-in WebView. Pages are loaded in the WebView from the device storage. JavaScript code defined in the pages will interact with server-side APIs to work with data.

Client components can be implemented as web applications running in the web browser of an operating system. In contrast to hybrid applications, HTML pages and data are loaded from the web server.

Developers select a specific client-side technology, design the User Interface, and bind UI elements to server-side APIs. Then, the application is packaged and deployed to an app store or web server.
