Differences between Web Application Development and Multi-platform: which one to choose?
In today's digital era, application development is one of the most sought-after professions. Companies are looking for professionals capable of creating efficient technological solutions, whether through web or cross-platform applications. But how do you know which is the best option for your future career? In this article, we will explore the differences between Web Application Development (WAD) and Multiplatform Application Development (MAD) so that you can make a decision and guide your professional career.
What is Web Application Development?
Web application development focuses on developing, implementing and maintaining web applications, regardless of the model used and using specific technologies, guaranteeing secure access to data and complying with accessibility, usability and quality criteria.
Web application developers are trained in front-end technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.js, back-end technologies such as PHP, Python, Node.js, Ruby on Rails and databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.
Graduates of the Higher Degree in Web Applications Development will be able to work in positions such as web programmer, multimedia programmer, web application developer, webmaster, social media, web analytics technician, ICT project manager, web optimisation and positioning technician, developer of applications and services for business management and content manager developer.
Is this Higher Degree for you?
Yes, if you are highly motivated and interested in the technological field, specifically in everything related to programming.
If you are looking to become an expert in web applications and their technology, you are curious and want to learn about application design, data analysis and software development, as well as application development and maintenance.
What is Cross-Platform Application Development?
Cross-platform application development is the creation of applications in programming languages that facilitate their export and display on any type of device, regardless of the operating system.
Cross-platform application developers must master programming languages such as Java, Kotlin, Swift, Dart, C#, databases such as SQLite, Firebase, Realm and cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter, React Native, Xamarin.
Graduates of the Bachelor's Degree in Multiplatform Application Development will be able to work in positions such as multiplatform application developer, developer of computer applications for business and business management, developer of general purpose applications and developer of applications in the field of entertainment and mobile computing.
Is this Higher Degree for you?
Yes, if you are highly motivated and interested in the technological field, specifically in everything related to programming.
If you are looking to become an expert in multiplatform applications and their technology, you are curious and want to learn about application design, data analysis and software development, as well as application development and maintenance.
Which to choose: DAW or DAM?
If you are interested in developing applications that are accessible from any browser, without worrying about their compatibility with different operating systems and mastering development environments and programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, the Higher Degree in Web Application Development is the best option .
On the other hand, specialise in Multiplatform Application Development if you are looking to develop applications on multiple platforms with a unified code base, with good performance and compatibility with mobile and desktop devices and master programming languages such as Java, Kotlin, Swift or Dart.
In the Higher Degree in DAM and Higher Degree in DAW at UDIT Higher Vocational Training, you will not have to specialise until the second year, as during the first year both share the same curriculum.
