Top Programming Languages compared for Mobile Application Development


Java
Java programming language is one of the most preferred language when it comes to Android app development. An object-oriented programming language developed at Sun Microsystems (now owned by Oracle), can be run in 2 different ways either in a browser window or in a virtual machine that can do without a browser.
Objective-C
The primary programming language for iOS apps, Objective-C was chosen by Apple to build apps that are robust and scalable. Being a C-language superset, it does have a number of functions that precisely deal with graphics, I/O, and display functions. Moreover, as part of the Apple development framework, Objective-C is fully integrated into all iOS and MacOS frameworks. However, it's now slowing being replaced in the Apple ecosystem by a more powerful language called Swift.
Swift
Swift is the latest programming language to foray into the Apple ecosystem, mainly considering its prevalence in writing code for Apple's latest APIs, Cocoa and Cocoa Touch. Even though it is a language written to work along with Objective-C, the Cupertino company is making it but obvious for iOS developers to turn to Swift for complete programming.
JavaScript
The landscape for building mobile apps with JavaScript is still very young, and as expected, the Native Apps category still pulls in the highest awareness rating of the survey, as well as a very high satisfaction rating at 84%.
The challenge with native platforms is a doubling of cost/effort when you want to cover more platforms.
HTML5
HTML5 is the ideal programming language if you are looking to build a Web-fronted app for mobile devices. Although it makes various data types simple to insert, account for different screen sizes, rationalize input parameters and even level the browser playing field; the problem with HTML5 is that it is still a proposed standard.
C++
This is the most appropriate and robust programming language when it comes to building mobile apps for Android and Windows - and mainly for low-level programming it's still the go-to language on platforms for mobile app developers. As a powerful programming language, C++ allows mobile apps to be developed for practically every purpose on every platform that exists.
C#
The most coveted programming language for Windows Phone app development, C# does the trick for Microsoft that Objective-C does for Apple. Although, Windows Phone platform couldn't emerge as the game changer in the mobile application development industry, for loyal Microsoft users, C# makes the perfect programming language to build the robust Windows Phone apps.

Communist party launches 'China Operating System' to oust iOS and Android

hina officials have launched a national operating system in an attempt to take back control of the country’s computer market from American companies such as Google and Apple. The software has been in development for more than a year, but has been released at a crucial time with revelations about US-led surveillance sparking fears over the integrity of American-designed software. Known simply as the China Operating System, or COS, the software can run on PCs, tablets and smartphones and has been based on the open-source Linux operating system. Chinese media say that the OS has been created “entirely independently” in order to provide better localization for a range of features – from Chinese-language keyboards, to integration with the country’s banks. At the launch of the event, one of the developers involved with the project reportedly criticized Western software , saying that Apple’s iOS was too closed, that Google’s Android OS suffered from fragmentation (ie, too many versi...

How to use home loans most effectively for tax benefits

1) Deduction on interest: If you are paying EMIs for a home loan you took to buy a house, the interest component in the EMI can be claimed as deduction. You must be both an owner and a co-borrower (in the loan) to claim tax benefits. This deduction can be claimed starting the year in which the construction of the house is completed. Suppose the construction of your house was completed on August 30, 2014, you can claim deduction for interest for the entire 12 months in financial year 2014-15. So every year a maximum of Rs. 2 lakh can be claimed for a house that you use for your own residence. If your house is rented, the entire interest for the year can be claimed as deduction. The interest payments for the year shall result in a loss under the head 'income from house property'. This loss can be adjusted against in the same year against other heads of income in your income tax return including salary. Therefore, it reduces your total taxable income and the tax you pay thereon. A...
