1. Everythingyou needto know about native application development
Native Apps,inthe contextof the mobile webapp,canwell be explained in a very simpler way with an example of the
icons that you find on a mobile phone. The icons, such as Photos, Contacts, email that you find on the screen of your
mobile phone are pre-installedapplicationandtheyare applicationscreatedtofunctiononaparticulardevice platform.

Hybrid Apps -WebApps- A briefelaboration:
WEB APPS:
It isnot prudenttosay that WebAppsbecause the webappsare not infact applicationstheyare websitesintheirtrue
sense.Fromthe pointof viewof an end-user,webappscannotbe downloaded,anywebappcan be accessedthrougha
browserovera network.Webappsare builtinthe languageslike JavaScript,HTMLor CSS.

3. HYBRID APPS:
Hybridapps can be saidto be an ideal blendof the native appsandwebapps.Thisisso mainlybecause theyinternally
act as webappsand externallytheyplayarole innative apps.The hybridappshave beenmuchpopularsimplybecause
of the possibility of cross-platformdevelopmentandtherebyreductioninthe developmentcosts.Youwill needan
HTML or CSS developerto builda Hybrid App.
