IBM MobileFirst Application Development: Build and Deliver Mobile Apps Quickly with IBM Worklight Foundation Cloud Edition
Why mobile development is different Mobile apps are different. They are more strategic Greater urgency urgency and immediacy of engagement They are context-aware know where you are and what you are doing They run on unstable networks interruption is the norm, not the exception Smaller footprint More challenging to make compelling and easy to use Always on An opportunity to deliver greater value Development is different. Faster development cycles More devices to support, each with its own set of capabilities, OS and UI behaviors More development approaches to choose from Web, HTML, Native More third-party and open-source tools, frameworks and libraries to choose from Management is different. Smaller screens pulling content from more sources: need to choreograph content from multiple repositories and applications, both on premises and in the cloud Greater challenges of application governance, distribution, and version management AppStore Terms of Service present challenges for managing B2C apps Security is different. Greater risks of exposing applications and data on small, light and always on portable devices Greater authentication challenges associated with content mashups AppStore Terms of Service can limit security options 2
