Mobile Application Development with React Native at Emstell Technolgies

Mobile Applications can be developed using a variety of tools and techniques. The most common development method is called Native development. This basically means the tools and programming language used for the development are native to the App platform. Eg: The XCode with Obj C or Swift for IOS Mobile Apps and Core Java or Kotlin based development for Android Mobile Apps. These tools and language are from the developers and maintainers of those platforms itself, hence called Native

Emstell Technologies — Leading Mobile Apps Development Company for Middle East

The second method called Hybrid development uses other technologies to build apps which are cross platform, where in one main code is created and then deployed to multiple platforms. The Native apps benefits from the capabilities in using some of the unique features in the OS (Android or IOS) where in Hybrid apps are not optimized for this. Then came React Native

React Native is a Framework developed by Facebook to create Native Apps for IOS and Android using a single JavaScript based codebase. Unlike other hybrid mobile apps development tools and technologies React Native is not building a “mobile Web App” (Web based App inserted in a native box). The JavaScript codebase is compiled to a mobile application not differentiable from an iOS app built using Objective C or an Android application developed using Core Java. By this React Native Provides the benefits of both Native and Hybrid development Technologies

React Native framework uses React.js library to create a native mobile application It is different from the React, React Native uses native components instead of web based components to create the UI for the apps, along with JSX — a syntax that is used to embed XML with JavaScript. By this the developers are able to create Mobile apps by the method of creating web apps.

Many tests have shown comparable advantages in memory usage and UI aspects benefits alongside the benefit of keeping one codebase while dong a React Native based mobile Apps development. We at Emstell, ensures the technology selection is based on the needs of the market and the customers. Being pioneer development company for mobile apps and web solutions in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, Emstell can deliver quality React Native Mobile Apps along with our Native Mobile Apps development streams.

Contact Emstell to discuss further on your Mobile Apps or Web Application development requirements to take this further. Thanks

Magento ECommerce Solution and Services

Emstell Ecommerce – Best ecommerce website development kuwait saudi arabia

Magento is an open source E-commerce platform written in PHP. It provides online merchants with a flexible shopping cart system, as well as control over the look, content and functionality of their online store. Magento also offers powerful marketing, search engine optimization, and catalog-management tools. The software was originally developed by Varien, Inc, a US private company headquartered in Culver City, California, with assistance from volunteers.

Magento employs the MySQL or MariaDB relational database management system, the PHP programming language, and elements of the Zend Framework. It applies the conventions of object-oriented programming and model–view–controller architecture. Magento also uses the “entity–attribute–value” model to store data.

Overview

Magento provides two distinct platforms: Magento Open Source (previously Magento Community Edition) and Magento Commerce.

Magento Open Source

Magento Open Source, previously Magento Community Edition, is an open-source eCommerce platform. Developers can implement the core files and extend its functionality by adding new plug-in modules provided by other developers. Open Source is the free edition of Magento and provides all basic performances and features required to run an eCommerce platform. Since the first public beta version was released in 2007, Magento Open Source has been developed and customized in order to provide a basic eCommerce platform.

Magento commerce

Magento Commerce marks the merger of the former Magento Enterprise Edition and Magento Cloud Edition. It is derived from Magento Open Source and has the same core files. Unlike Open Source, this is not free, but has more features and functionality. This product is designed for large businesses that require technical support with installation, usage, configuration, and troubleshooting. Although Magento Commerce has annual maintenance fees, neither Open Source nor Commerce (On-Premises) include hosting.

On November 17, 2015, Magento 2.0 was released, with an aim to provide new ways to heighten user engagement, smoother navigation, improved conversion rates and revenue generation for store owners. It has business user tools that enhance the user experience of the software

Among the improved features of V2 over V1 are the following:

● Reduced table locking issues, improved page caching.

● Enterprise-grade scalability

● Inbuilt rich snippets for structured data

● New file structure with easier customization

● CSS Preprocessing using LESS & CSS URL resolver.

● Improved performance and a more structured code base.

Magento 2 introduced the Model-View-ViewModel pattern to its front-end code using the JavaScript library Knockout.js.

Magento Consulting and Partners

While Magento 2 has a fully responsive template called “Luma”, customization is most likely to be needed to make the most out of Magento.

Magento Solutions Partners

Magento Solution Partners are companies that have extensive experience implementing and adjusting Magento websites. Anyone who is interested in modifying their Magento website can find a Magento Solution Partner in Magento’s official Solution Partner Directory.

Magento Technology Partners

Magento Technology Partners are companies or products that help merchants improve their website out of the box. Their solutions and extensions cover more than 20 different categories including marketing automation, payments, content management, shipping, tax, hosting, and performance. To ensure quality and compatibility, all Magento Technology Partners pass a rigorous business and technology review. Magento Technology Partners can be found in the official website directory.

Certification

There are four different Magento certifications. Three of them aim to prove developers’ competency in implementing modules; one (Certified Solution Specialist) targets business users (consultants, analysts, project managers). Magento Front End Developer Certification is mainly focused on improving the user interface (UI) of back end developers who implement the core modules. The Plus certification tests deep understanding of Magento Enterprise modules and the entire architecture.

We at Emstell Technology Consulting Offers custom solutions for Clients in Implementing Magento for their businesses. READ MORE about our services here
