« Welcome to the first installment of the Web Development Report, a new online column at MSDN Magazine. Each month, current topics and issues in Web application development using technologies such as HTML5, ASP.NET, jQuery, Mobile Web and more will be discussed. The area covered this month is mobile Web Development.
As you probably know, software development is shifting toward the mobile space. Mobile devices have become ubiquitous in the consumer landscape, and the demand for mobile software is increasing. Businesses want to carve their niche in the mobile marketplace with native mobile applications and mobile Web sites – the two types of applications available for mobile devices.
Creating native applications with native code means developing separate software that targets each platform of interest (e.g., one XAML app for Windows Phone 7 and one Objective-C app for iOS). Maintaining and supporting multiple code bases is challenging, in part because most software developer teams don’t have the resources to do so, especially across a large number of customers. Independent contractors often have to focus on only one or two platforms, limiting their prospects.
By creating mobile Web applications that take advantage of HTML5, jQuery Mobile and ASP.NET MVC 4, you can effectively target multiple platforms with a single code base. Any browser, including mobile Web browsers, can render the HTML pages created with these technologies. You’ll still need to consider dealing with different browsers, but overall, Web applications are much easier to develop and maintain than multiple native applications in different languages.»
