SIGNATURE OF THE GUIDE:
C.P Rahul Raj and Seshu Babu (2012) in there research paper “A study on approaches
to build cross-platform mobile applications and criteria to select appropriate approach”.
They said that Tolety Mobile phones have become an inevitable part of day-to-day life
and so do the mobile phone applications. User expectations about the applications are
remarkably high. It is a challenge for the application vendors to provide versatile
applications in this competitive market in a short time. The challenge is even more if the
application is targeted for multiple platforms. Cross platform mobile application, tools are
of great help in this scenario. These tools support to develop the applications for multiple
platforms in less time. However cross platform application development is also not
seamless, it has its own fallacies and pitfalls. The application vendors have to face many
challenges in cross platform application development. The article targets at bringing
awareness on such issues and provides information to make a suitable choice.
