Hey everyone! Just starting out in mobile development, and I've been blown away by all the different tools and ways to build the apps we use all the time. This post is gonna be a deep dive into the major mobile development platforms and the architecture patterns that go with them. We'll break down the good, the bad, and the ugly to help new designers and developers like myself navigate this awesome world.

The world of mobile development is vast and exciting, and I've been eagerly exploring the different tools and approaches that bring our favorite apps to life. Here's a quick breakdown of the key platforms and architecture patterns I've encountered, along with their strengths and weaknesses.

Building the Foundation: Platforms

Native Development: This is the gold standard, offering top-notch performance, full access to a platform's features, and a smooth experience. However, it can be time-consuming and expensive due to the need for separate codebases for different operating systems (think Android and iOS).
Cross-Platform Development: This approach lets you build an app once and deploy it across multiple platforms. It's cost-effective, keeps the experience consistent, and allows for quicker updates. The downside? Performance might not be quite as good as native, you might not have access to all the cool platform-specific features, and there's a learning curve involved.
Hybrid Development: Think of this as a bridge between native and web development. You use a single codebase that leverages web technologies, making it easier to maintain and potentially faster to develop. But, there can be performance limitations, the app might feel less "native," and access to some native features might be restricted.

The Blueprint: Architecture Patterns

Now, let's talk about how we actually structure the code within these platforms. These architecture patterns help us organize things in a clean and maintainable way.

Model-View-Controller (MVC): This classic approach separates the app into three parts: the data (Model), the interface (View), and the logic that connects them (Controller). It promotes clear separation of concerns, making development easier to manage, especially with larger teams. However, MVC can get a bit complex for smaller projects, and there might be some extra overhead involved.
Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM): This pattern builds on MVC, simplifying data binding and improving testability. It keeps the separation of concerns even clearer, but it can also be complex and have a steeper learning curve for beginners.
Clean Architecture: This approach prioritizes long-term maintainability and testability. It separates the core business logic from the details of specific platforms or frameworks. While powerful, clean architecture can add complexity and take longer to develop with initially.
State Management: This pattern helps manage the state of your app in a predictable way. It makes debugging easier and ensures consistency throughout the application. However, it can involve writing a lot of boilerplate code, and there's a learning curve involved.

Why HNG Internship is My Next Big Step

With this foundation in place, I'm incredibly excited to announce that I'll be ing the HNG Internship program! This opportunity to learn from experienced developers and build real-world mobile apps is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm eager to put these platforms and patterns into practice, contribute to a collaborative environment, and keep growing my mobile development skills. Stay tuned for updates on my journey – I can't wait to share what I learn and create!

Saw this on Twitter tonight. Take a minute to imagine this lmaooo

Doyin, Alex gone. By whatever means Ilebaye's disqualification/not winning will make me the biggest winner this season. And yes please I'm a hater. Thank you.

Alhamdulilahi

Alex surviving today is not good for my mental health

Threebear:
Let me hear it !

after you na you

Ok Threebear you can come outside now. You're safe😄

PatientVulture:
It's how people call threebear a fraud but will still be waiting for her/his predictions next week . It's looking like a toxic relationship you cannot leave .

what's this place without her fraudulent predictions lmaoo. It's beautiful to watch

moneyest:
We are going nowhere till October

Deal with it

I'm happy for you😂

Prepare for threebear's defense y'all. Especially if wm is in bottom 2 and biggie evicts only one hm😂😂

Threebear come outside modafvcka😂😂😂

Zihno:


Zombie fanbase kee you der!

who be this walking dead on my post

Even tho I don't like ilebaye, I'm super thankful she got the zombie fan base and not doyin. I can't even imagine how an ordinary TV show would have made me angry phew

Y'all complaining about Doyin's strike, imagine she just continued her wailing solo or with ceec as usual will the fight happen? She entered a private convo and aggravate someone who's intentionally ignoring her until he became violent. Calm down and think o

Threebear you're hanging your "legacy"😂 on whitemoney leaving tonight. We shall all gather here this evening and if you fail please start dey use another moniker o else here will not contain us. And don't drop any dying minute disclaimer like last week

Jessewizy:
I can’t wait to see Doyin’s face when she will be kicked out of house today.

I crave this more than multiple orgasms.

Penis na bastard sha because why is Ilebaye smiling like a mumu talking to Neo

Whitemoney will not he's a titled chief now o, see as mercy is dragging his nipples like say she dey milk cow

So people watched all that played out and still say Alex has no blame in what happened eh God o. E joor na. we know she's your fav but dey calm down o.

I'm refraining from using bad words but Alex is a stupid lying bitch omg😂. Pere called her an animal while having a conversation with you. It was Doyin that crayfished her way into the conversation and started putting mouth. Now you're saying he insulted her first. How? Omo

Sanqa:

Give me one name of a likeable housemate.

I'll give more than one lol. Kidd, Mercy, Cross, Soma, Adekunle, Whitemoney even Angel.

Alex and Doyin have very unlikable personalities. How they have fans is what I don't understand.

The only thing that can fvck up whitemoney's game this week is his fans being overconfident.

Threebear:

I said I won't brag this time around but I really deserve accolades

You're crazy 😂😂 but I like you

If you're always voting for a useless housemate just because "my fav" but complaining every Sunday how biggie is a fraud and protecting Seyi, if nobody will tell you, me I will, your head is not correct and you don't know it.

Sad Ike left, but I'm happy people are WAILING over Seyi. E dey sweet me for body. Let's see if he'll survive sha.

Theeebear should deactivate 😂😂

Threebear:
Ike's fans should stop crying, Ike won't be evicted today.😁

The latest most authentic source says he's safe.

Oya dry your tears.

I strongly believe this sha. Any housemate I decide to vote for(which vary each week) always find a way to survive. E dey do me like juju😂 I thought Ike was going to end my streak. Let's see sha

Why is Ilebaye hiding her guinness can inside a pepsi cup lmaoo. Your head will cast you after the party abi no be you again 😂

Yabsun:
I like this DJ. He’s good. His music transition is dope.

she* lol

Dope Caesar in the modafuckin building. Their brains will be blown!! They don't know lmaoo

What's whitemoney doing?? He dey diss all housemates including himself😂😂 pesin go still burst that him big belle today
