Webpack

“Webpack” a powerful module bundler, which is common JavaScript file that combine html data, css data, javascript data etc in common file together and should be served to the client in a response to a single file request. It takes in a bunch of assets (ie. source, images, markup, CSS, …) and turns that into something you can provide to the client. WEBPACK supports advanced functionality such as hot module reloading (instant updates of React components without refresh), lazy loading (load bundles as one’s need), bundle splitting (separate app/vendor bundles), hashing (to bust cache) and source maps (so it’s easy to debug minified versions). Webpack solves fundamental problem of web development very well. It seems that people are pushing common build related concerns to tooling hiding the current complexity.

Earlier with Grunt and Gulp one had to do a lot of manual work to achieve the same output. So, Webpack solves the hard part. Webpack’s approach is more involved and it comes with a learning curve as it relies on configuration and looks very different than other tools. Webpack boasts a bunch of features:

Ability to inject CSS files from your JS – useful if one is creating web components and want the CSS to be bundled with the JS.
Flexible module patterns – you can use CommonJS style, ES6, or AMD.
Ability to recompile only the module that we change, so a faster development cycle.
If we use ReactJS, hot reloading modules using react-hot-loader. This feature speeds up the development quite a bit.
It has its own command line utility, so we don’t need to use gulp or Grunt, though we can if we want.

Scripting languages

A scripting language is a programming language designed for integrating and communicating with other programming languages. Some of the most widely used scripting languages are JavaScript, VBScript, PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby, ASP. Since a SCRIPTING LANGUAGES is normally used in conjunction with another programming language, they are often found alongside HTML, Java or C++.

One common distinction between a scripting language and a language used for writing entire applications is that, while a programming language is typically compiled first before being allowed to run, scripting languages are interpreted from source code or bytecode one command at a time. Scripting languages are not compiled to machine code by user like other programming languages. They are high level code which are interpreted by another program dynamically or at runtime. Scripts are set of instructions either to the web browser (client side)which are embedded in HTML, or to the server side that interface to databases or other data stores on the server. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language. Scripting languages are also sometimes referred to as very high-level programming languages, as they operate at a high level of abstraction, or as control languages, particularly for job control languages on mainframes. Scripting languages are programming languages that don’t require an explicit compilation step.

PHONE GAP is one of the most successful platform used for developing cross-platform apps. PhoneGap as the greater part is a stunning cross stage system, that lets the developers s to create applications that run easily on various mobile stages like iOS, Android, Windows and that’s just the beginning. PhoneGap has a robust backend system that tremendously speeds up the development process and reduces developer’s efforts. The beginner’s guide also helps in speeding the process further. With the PhoneGap framework, you get the best for free. To create apps with Phone Gap,the developer is required to have knowledge of web-development languages like CSS, HTML and J Script. Programming languages are not required for this framework. The PhoneGap community compiles new codes and modules which are available for free because of its Open Source License. It offers great flexibility to the developers as they can develop any type of mobile app without any serious efforts. Developers familiar with basic knowledge of HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript can get started with PhoneGap. No need for developers to learn additional languages. Phone Gap provides an opportunity to a lot of web developers reusing their existing skills to develop applications for mobile phones, which in future is going to be one of the most important medium to access information and content in internet.

We’re experts in PhoneGap as well as both Android Mobile App Development as well as iOS App Development and have a really great portfolio of samples of our other mobile apps we’ve developed, large and small!
