Mobile applications are ever present as oxygen in today’s technology-driven world. The statement is not an over misjudgment, but completely explains the ubiquitous of the mobile applications.
The IoT is an abbreviated term used for “Internet of Things”.
IoT is defined as a physical network of devices or gadgets that have embedded technology, which enables them to communicate and interact with each other. This connectivity between physical devices can happen anywhere. IoT is becoming increasingly popular because of its ease of use.
IoT encouraged a new scale of modernization with the ability to take any gadget you have at home or even in the office that runs on electricity and to be controlled by various existing technology. IoT is developing at a fast pace and has already begun to impact various areas of our lives or even in work areas. There are various practical applications of IoT across various industries.
IoT impact on Mobile App Development
There is a connection between IoT and Mobile App development. The technology of IoT has been deployed by mobile Application coders since it came into reality and mobile Application programmers are steady trying to input IoT in their Applications so that they can stay ahead in competition by all means.
The ability of coding is an important skill for the building of any modern technology, especially an application that falls within IoT (internet of things).
Here are some top listed coding languages providing the backbone of IoT software:
- C
C, a programming language initially developed to program telephone switches. The language is still the first choice for many programmers who code for the low level of software IT outsourcing. The language conceals nothing from you as a developer, and that means you can see with each and every part of the programming code to clutch out the better performance from an underpowered device.
- Java
Java is an object-oriented language that is portable with few hardware dependencies built into the compiler program. Java is able to create and debug code on a desktop and then move it on any chip with a Java virtual machine (JVM). Java language depends on hardware support libraries that are known from the generic code.
- C++
C++ is an object-oriented preprocessor for C language and has the processing power. This language is commonly used in projects related to Linux and also very useful in electronic embedded system programming. This language adds layers of abstraction, classes, and objects and allowing developers to extend programming code for embedded and IoT code.
- Python
Initially, it started as a scripting language to glue together real code. Python makes for solid embedded language, having enough power in the embedded platform. Python is a good choice for any application that will take data from the user and put it into any sort of database format, then draw upon the tables for information.
Additional languages:
Other programming languages being used for IoT technology include:
- Go
- Swift
- Rust
- B#
- Forth
Here are some of the ways in which IoT has affected mobile application development:
- Make life easy and reduce human efforts–
IoT makes life easier for both the developers and users in so many ways. It facilities so much interactivity of the internet with the devices, technology has been able to manage a bundle of tasks and thus in turn also reduce the efforts of the developer in building the application.
- Change the focus of Apps–
The mobile App developer’s main focus is making the interface user-friendly so that they can use it in an efficient manner. But, now the focus is shifting towards making an effective integration between the smart gadgets or sensors and the application.
- Making mobile apps more secure–
The integration that takes place in between the internet- enabled gadgets and other surrounding devices uses the user’s data. When any smart devices pass sensitive data or information, the hacker takes the advantages and hacks the data. Therefore app developers need to take care and focus on making apps more secure and safe from any kind of cybercrime.
- Promotes specialization–
The IoT technology requires completely new concepts and unified specialization to implement in a proper way. At the speed in which IoT is moving forward, every organization would want to invest in IoT Applications. IoT Apps require special skills and mobile apps developers have to learn these skills to stay ahead in the competition.
- Modification of Apps–
Applications that don’t provide connectivity with surrounding devices don’t have a high chance to stay in the IT market. The mobile Apps need to have support for the surrounding connected devices or you can say IoT. In Today’s worlds Apps that do not support IoT will be at risk of throwing out from the mobile application development industry.
