Hybrid Mobile Applications¶
Introduction¶
Welcome to the Hybrid Mobile Applications course (ICD0018).
The objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive overview of hybrid mobile technologies. However, the primary focus will be on React Native / Flutter (mostly), which is currently the most prominent and rapidly advancing technology in the field.
By the conclusion of this course, you will have acquired knowledge of various hybrid mobile technologies and will be proficient in developing both a basic React Native application and a more complex Flutter application.
The course content is divided as follows:
Technology Overview¶
- Comparative Analysis - Technology evaluation and selection criteria
- PhoneGap/Cordova - Legacy hybrid framework using web technologies
- Ionic (Capacitor) - Modern web-based mobile development
- React.js / React Native - JavaScript-based cross-platform development
- Flutter - Google's UI toolkit for cross-platform applications
