Mobile Monday event was held on 5th August 2013 at CIIT Islamabad Campus as per schedule. The topic of discussion for this month’s event was “Mobile Web Apps Vs.Mobile Native Apps”. Mr. Khurram Saleem Alimgeer from CAST department discussed the two distinct formats of Mobile applications: native apps and web apps. He highlighted the major advantage of mobile web apps over native mobile apps which is “cross platform compatibility” allowing them to reach the broadest audience for the least effort. Native apps have a major advantage over web apps — the ability to leverage device specific hardware and software.
In the end, he also discussed the latest trend of Hybrid Apps. With a hybrid app, much or all of the user interface appears in a browser window, with a native app wrapped around it to provide access to device functionality not available via the browser.
The event concluded with the vote of thanks from Dr. Mahmood Ashraf Khan.
