If you think that WORA apps are inherently or usually flawed then picking a WORA solution might be problematic. I'm a big believer in WORA so I'm far from objective on the subject, but I find this is more of a religious debate in many cases than a factual debate (there are facts but they vary and are open for interpretation). The price is paid in distance from the underlying platforms, this price might be worth it and might be an advantage as it allows you to enforce corporate/app branding more thoroughly.

The more portable tools usually provide faster development cycles and often easier development by reducing platform differences. Question 2: WORA (Write Once Run Anywhere) vs.

HTML+JavaScript - PhoneGap, Ionic, Sencha etc.

JavaScript - (See HTML+JavaScript) React Native, Appcelerator, NativeScript/Telerik.

This might not be the deciding factor but often is a great starting point: Question 1: Programming language of choiceĮach tool has its own programming language of choice. Google Maps, Augmented Reality, System widgets etc.īased on the answer to these questions it's pretty easy to determine the best tool for the job.

Are there special features required in your app e.g.

Which platforms do you need to target: Android, iOS, Windows Mobile, Desktop, Web.

Others want the convenience and power of one code for all devices

Do you believe in Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) - many developers like cross platform but they want to keep it as close as possible to native.

What is your programming language of choice: C#, Java, C++, Ruby, JavaScript, HTML+JavaScript, Basic.

It's comprised of the following 4 multiple choice questions: Notice that I ignore the "no-coding" solutions as they are too simplistic for most use cases.

When I'm asked how to pick the cross platform solution that is "right for you" I have a very simple system. The reason this hasn't been so clear in mobile is due to maturity issues with these tools and the platforms themselves both of which have matured significantly in the past 9 years. This isn't news, this was always the case which is why cross platform tools took the desktop by storm more than 20 years ago. The ability to shorten development cycles is crucial as frequent updates/fast response are probably the most crucial aspects of a successful app.

Every bug, feature and update will end up costing far more in the long run depending on the lifetime of your application. The main problem with this mentality is the maintenance is far more expensive in the long run. You can outsource the app building and have a native OS app built for 20k or so. A lot of times people make the mistake of looking at the cost of building a native app and thinking "why not"? I think there are many great tools out there that aren't made by us and this isn't a "one size fits all" market.īut before we move forward I'd like to discuss why you should use a cross platform tool. However, I'll try to be as objective as possible and help point you in the right direction. I'm kind of like it but can't afford buying it.I'm not exactly objective in this field as I'm the co-founder of a cross platform mobile development tool vendor. So Gambas will be pretty much Linux-only for foreseeable future.īTW, what you called Real Basic is now called Xojo and it license is very very expensive. The main developer left Windows since Windows XP.

They are willing to port Gambas to Windows but they don't have the skills needed to do so. I can't tell my customers what to run, period.

Multi platform is important, but first first-class Windows support, and only then the rest. Seems relatively smooth in the beginning, but you run into all kinds of walls afterwards.īut the killer was of course (at least back then) lack of Windows support. I've played with it and got a mini version of the feeling that I got when I evaluated Real Basic a good decade ago. Are you actually used it or just talk about it? BTW, it's not faster than compiled code, though. J8w344c6 wrote:I don't know much about JIT-ed languages but Gambas is really fast anyone.
