Native, Hybrid or Mobile Web Application Development

Learn more about the three approaches to mobile application development and the pros and cons of each method.

One of the key components in developing a mobile application strategy is the choice of how and where the mobile applications being developed will run. There are three development approaches: native, web or a hybrid of the first two. The tradeoffs between each can be measured in terms of functionality, performance, the user experience and overall costs.

How these three approaches balance along these four dimensions and potentially fit within an enterprise’s mobile application requirements is the topic of this white paper. Once the characteristics of each is understood, and the pros and cons of each as a development and deployment path are described, the choice of one over the other will be clarified.
