The ultimate urge to create the fresh mobile application appeared to be the cause of the handful of drastic failures. A lot of mobile application developers created literally useless software no one actually needs, so the stores were chocking with applications quite soon. Most of companies were going to just get the rights on the new application without being interested in what it actually does or if it is or it is not helpful for the customers. The logical end was the libraries stuffed with applications, most of which had less than 100 downloads in total.

The evolution of cloud and mobile application development

According to the hopes of Steve Jobs the owners of the iPhone will soon be able to get any needed application with the help of the browser built in their device. Still soon after it Apple offered the wide range of opportunities available in the iTunes App Store.

Since this time most of the sites, even the old ones, offered the transfer of their data to any mobile device the user might opt for. The native applications became more popular than transfer to some mobile browser. Though the HTML5 was significantly improved, a lot of users consider mobile application development not to meet the particular needs of the modern SmartPhones and tablets.

The definite evolution of the mobile devices is needed. As we remember, the first web application was much like browser with its opportunity to output the mainframe. Still the logic of the applications transferred from the mainframe to the basic output on HTML. Same shift was visible in the mobile applications too. The desktop browsers will treat the information the way the modern apps in mobile application development do, as both types of software will have the same logic.

The transition is important as well, as it goes right at the same time the other changes take place in the IT world. Basically it’s the tendency to move to the cloud computing. The logic of applications soon comes in its own private structure, while the PaaS offerings take their time to mature.

How to link your device to the cloud?

For effective mobile application development you will have to manage both migrations at the same time. This might appear to be not too easy. Luckily for us, the platform vendors offer the special tools to ease the transition process. Finally they will help to hybrid the applications completely.

The modern .NET solutions used in mobile application programming

Basically all of them were designed as the native applications for the systems like Windows Mobile. In other words NET CF is actually the subset of Microsoft’s entire .NET platform. On the other hand the .NET CF goes on preloading CLR (a.k.a. Common Language Runtime) engine in the memory of the chosen device. It does so in order to facilitate mobile-application deployment. If we look closer at the underlying device’s op­erating system while it’s being operated with CLR, we can see it allows the total integration of the set of native components into application while the mobile application programming.

The basic features

Generally the .NET CF runtime is really similar to the JVM  (a.k.a. Java virtual machine). No more need to write the code for the chosen underlying operating system, now all you need is to write man­aged code, placing there the targets to the managed ex­ecution environment. The code is originally designed and fully developed to support several languages in all the operating systems. This way it’s now possible to reach even the extended developer base for reusing of existing libraries.
