2023 Started

Hello, everyone!

2023 started since almost two months ago. What tehnology do you think will be popular this year?

In my opinion, I think this year, popular will be ML, AI and Mobile.

I am not familiar with ML and AI so I will talk about Mobile.

Why do I think mobile will be popular this year?

I think Mobile Development will popular this year because a mobile app will help you to reach customer much better than a simple website. Trough mobile development you can access notifications, you can create Widgets and many many more things which will make your user experience better.

What programming languages should I choose for Mobile Development?

Well, there are many languages and frameworks which can help you to develop mobile applications. I will make a list:

Cross Platform(write once, run on Android and iOS):

  • React Native -> It’s a framework based on JavaScript.
  • Xamarin -> Framework based on C#
  • Flutter -> Framework based on Dart

Native:

  • Kotlin -> Programming language for writing Mobile Apps for Android
  • Swift -> Programming language for writing Mobile Apps for iOS, WatchOS, iPad

Yes! I’ve been tried React Native. Is good and I prefer this one more than others 🫶🏻 Well this one was the first cross platform language that I’ve been learning, after this I’ve been focused on other things. I learned Swift and Cross Platform. Swift is my first love because working on mac is more aesthetic(in my opinion), and Java is a subject that I preffer to not talking about 😂.

If you want to start learning cross platform, I recommend you Flutter if you don’t know JavaScript and React.js, but if you do, you could go with React Native.

I've worked with Swift but I want to use some cross platform language.
I do know Javascript and Express.js, and learning React.js has been on my todo list, do you think I should go for React Native or Flutter?

Both Flutter and React Native are excellent frameworks for developing cross-platform mobile applications, the difference is React Native use JavaScript and Flutter use Dart. You can verifywhich one has higher community, which one is more preffered by people, which one is more searched in jobs. For those type of informations you can use Github Developer Survey or even LinkedIn to verify global jobs for developer.

Good luck!
