Mobile and web application development is the process of creating software applications that run on mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) and computers, respectively. These applications can serve a variety of purposes, from simple tools to complex platforms.
Key Differences Between Mobile and Web Applications:
- Platform: Mobile apps are designed specifically for mobile operating systems like iOS (Apple) and Android (Google), while web apps are designed to work in web browsers on various devices.
- Distribution: Mobile apps are typically distributed through app stores (like Apple App Store or Google Play Store), while web apps can be accessed directly through a web browser.
- Offline Functionality: Mobile apps can often function offline, while web apps typically require an internet connection.
