WHAT TO CHOOSE-OBJECTIVE C VS. SWIFT?

objective c vs swift

Choosing between objective c and swift is a very difficult choice to make. It takes many factors to consider before adopting a certain language. It is one of the most common questions asked by the developers. You have to keep in mind that no single point should dominate your decision. You should only decide after examining all the factors.

Experience with objective c vs. swift

 

First of all, observe that if you have experience with objective c or swift. If you have equal knowledge about both the languages, then you have to see other parameters like third party library compatibility, API support etc.

But if you have knowledge of a particular language, then you must stick to it unless a project forcefully requires you to work on other language. If you work on other language then there is a benefit attached to it, you get to learn about the language. This helps you see both sides of the coin i.e. learn both languages.

Timeline, Scope and Scale

App Timeline

If you have hard timeline, then you must stick to the language which you know better because using an unfamiliar language will cost you time and money. But if you have a soft timeline or no timeline, then you may use the unfamiliar language.

Scope

In today’s times, the number of objective c users is quite large as compared to swift but swift is a relatively new language. Many objective c users are shifting to swift. It is better to swift as swift is considered to be the future language.

Scale

Small projects can use any language but with the bigger projects, it is better to use objective c as swift is an immature language and whenever a new swift version comes out, the build gets broke which can be very irritating for the developers.

Technical Considerations

The XCode team has done a brilliant work in upgrading the build process to help Swift. If you want a robust support provided by modern IDEs, then you must stick to the objective c. Objective c runtime is much more robust than the swift. Swift is much more reliable and safer language due to its strong typing system and error handling. Swift manages the memory more smoothly and provides some descent wrappers. But importing of C++ code is much simpler in swift as compared to the swift. So it all depends on your project need, which language you want to use to develop the app. Go through all the above factors before choosing one particular language.

Strategies For dApp Development Companies

blockchain app developer

Am I the only one who have seen first glimpse of cryptocurrency revolution , by which we all are being exposed to blockchain – The network of Nodes . As a dApp development company , the concept of Blockchain has made itching in our hands to create decentralised application or dApps – A open source software totally based on Blockchain technology .

The market of decentralised blockchain is growing at fast pace , so is the blockchain based mobile application .
Given below are myriad of reasons of how dApps can be smartly used .

Ecommerce / Decentralised Marketplace

The Idea : In order to create a new financial system wherein  transaction can be done from peer to peer , and centralised banking has no power can only happen if Blockchain concept exist together with cryptocurrency. It is fact that decentralised market need to be necessarily exist , if we want dApp market to be achieve sustainability .

Benefits : The decentralised marketplace is fully secured marketplace which works on peer to peer network which simply means no single point of failure exist in this network . This concept can aid us in trading with cryptocurrency for goods and services , thereby not using  any third party like PayPal , and customer can make the payment directly . Accounts are tied to cryptocurrency and hence you will get rid of your hold/transfer of money on your respective mercy of account holders .

Crypto-Collectible Games

The Idea : Blockchain open the new door for gaming industry as well . The blockchain ability to create social spaces and worlds are expanded to infinite level . Games like EVE Online has taken birth due to blockchain .Integrating concept of blockchain into a pre existing system can lower barrier of entry , thus increasing active player base . The dApps concept can give rise to gaming , gambling and much more which are yet to be explored .
Benefits :  Games like Magic : The Gathering  are build for trading with friends , but free time and team togetherness can act as a barrier for this concept to always work. So if you are planning to build your business on Blockchain concept , games like this are most profitable dApp , and plenty of improvement are yet to come , as the real big app to touch the sky is yet to come .

Messaging / Social

The Idea : We always had our majority of communication through use of messaging apps , in social media is playing a pillar role in communication . dApps are offering blockchain based messaging services .
The introduction of EtherTweets which is know to be decentralised version of Twitter with help you publish 160 character of message , but once the message has got published no body can remove or take it down expect the publisher . Accounts can also receive donation on Ether donation , which can influence user to stick with the platform .
Similarly Status.Im ( currently in beta version ) is a open source platform which act as a marketplace where anyone can list their dApp and a user can download the same .
The Benefit : Giving means to easily share and exchange coins together with freedom of sharing thoughts through social media , wherein no one can delete the post except the owner itself  will surely be the future of social media .

Crypto Wallet

The Idea : In Ethereum the value of the Ether fluctuates at fast scale , so you will necessarily need a place to keep the record of your coins . There are various ways of counting , but wallets will be requiring private keys to access your currency . The best wallet works across all the platforms and will facilitate you with inbuilt backup and restore facility .
For instance , CoinBase a digital platform on which we you buy and sell Bitcoin , Ethereum & Litecoin .
Benefits : Crypto wallet will gain its popularity , as cryptocurrency has already left its foot imprints in the market . There is no universal dApp per currency in the market and hence plenty of opportunity  has yet to come in the market.

The Potential of dApp Development

The true potential of dApp is yet to be seen , the best time to educate yourself about the concept of blockchain is now . So explore the world of Blockchain , and varieties of currencies which are available in the market . While dApp development companies won’t be able to replace any traditional app , but it’s easy to develop something new which will be know to be the future of app development , as none of the app have gained the huge popularity worldwide yet .
