Transforming App Development with AI: Series Overview

by

AI Development

Today’s digital age demands speed, innovation, and precision — qualities that traditional app development methods often struggle to deliver consistently. Enter artificial intelligence (AI), a transformative force reshaping the way apps are conceptualized, designed, built, and maintained. AI is not just a buzzword; it’s a game-changer that empowers developers to work smarter, create faster, and achieve more.

This blog kicks off a comprehensive series on how AI is revolutionizing app development. Over the coming articles, we’ll take an in-depth look at how AI integrates into every stage of the app development lifecycle, from conception to deployment, and how it addresses some of the most pressing challenges faced by developers today. The goal is to equip you with actionable insights and practical knowledge to harness the power of AI in your projects.

Redefining Android UI Development with Jetpack Compose

by

At Google I/O 2019, Google announced that they were working on a new toolkit, Jetpack Compose, which would redesign how user interfaces (UI) are developed on the Android platform. In August 2020, the alpha version of Jetpack Compose was released. In this post, I will be examining how Compose differs from the current Android UI toolkits, and will discuss the benefits that the new program will bring to Android UI development.

Using Intents to Create Transitions in Android Applications

by

Creating a successful application isn’t just about ensuring that all of the components work; the layout and design of the application are also crucial. The design must be professional and engaging, and the layout should be easy for users to navigate. Design components, such as animations and navigation transitions, can also enhance the usability of the application.

When you think about the future of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, it’s likely that you don’t think of auto-completion. However, you probably should. In July 2020, OpenAI released a beta testing version of GPT-3, a new auto-completion program that could very likely define the next decade of AI programming.

Concurrency on Android with Kotlin Coroutines

by

Concurrency is not something that most people think about on a daily basis; however, it benefits most of us throughout our day. Whenever we ask our technological devices to perform multiple tasks, either within one application or across multiple applications, our device is using concurrency to make it happen. Thanks to concurrent programming, our devices are able to multitask at the same rate that we do.

Migrating from AngularJS to React

by

angular-react
Most organizations with a web application will inevitably need to make a decision regarding their current front-end framework.  I’ve personally been involved with two projects that have come to this crossroads. One of the two applications was written in AngularJS, the other in Backbone.js. In both cases, the organization decided that the best course of action was a full rewrite using React and Redux.  In the case of the AngularJS app, a gradual migration approach was considered and I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to investigate this possibility.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a Mobile App?

by

A mobile app is a great way to bring new ideas to life, add value for your customers, or boost awareness of your business—but only if you can build a quality mobile experience without breaking the bank. And nailing down the cost of an app in advance isn’t exactly easy. App development costs can range from trivial to extreme, depending on a host of factors such as what your app does, how users will interact with it, and how you plan to staff the project.

Computed Properties vs Functions – Why Does It Matter?

by

Cookies
What’s your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe? I bet you could ask that question to 5 different people and get 5 totally different recipes… brown sugar vs white sugar, cake flour vs all purpose, dark chocolate vs milk chocolate. All of these recipes result in a chocolate chip cookie but the process by which we get there is a matter of personal preference.  If you were to ask multiple developers to solve a problem, it’s doubtful that any two developers write identical code.  It’s not that any one solution is necessarily better than the others… the resulting code is likely just a matter of personal preference.

Look Ma, No Hands!

While we may not be seeing a DeLorean turned time machine anytime soon, a vehicle with capabilities similar to those of KITT from Knight Rider isn’t so far fetched.
