Research #3- more technical

 

  • Exploring some more of the following programs:

 

  • PubNub, PhoneGap, Cordova, React, Swift, xcode, Zeplin (part of sketch?), Figma.

Pubnub(free or 49$ per month for more services)- Real time app building tool, lots of helpful chatting tools/resources if confused by building platform. There aren’t a ton of reviews of it online, which makes me think it may not be legit/used often. I want to use something that will build my app the best way it possibly can, so I’m not quite sure about this.– good for location based apps?

*** ADOBE PhoneGap(free i think??–ADOBE)- A program that makes allows you to create a website which then will be packaged into a mobile app..It looks pretty straightforward. I would definitely be keen to using this program as long as I knew the right amount of javascript/html/css… I would first need to watch a ton of lynda videos/talk to a ton of people.

–> super helpful how-to

Cordova(free or not?)- Similar to phone gap… Their client base is very small (tiny companies like fitness apps), but it looks free and maybe simple to use in the case that you know your programming.

React(free i think–need props) Javascript framework created and used by Facebook, and you can use it to build native mobile apps..This heavily uses javascript which I am definitely not comfortable with using… so I’m probably going to pass. Huge companies like facebook and instagram use it though which means it definitely has a ton of capabilities… I may actually look into this for building but need to brush up on my java!!!

OTHER: Swift, Xcode, Zeplin, Figma (does anyone think these programs might be helpful?
