Personal Branding 

For increasing celebrities personal brand , mobile apps are more than a necessity now a days . Mobile app lets celebrities connect with their fans both online and offline .

Decades ago celebrities have to appear on TV shows at regular intervals for staying in touch with audience . Some years back , there was a time of personal website of celebrities which was know to be official website and is must for all stars .

Revenue From In App Purchases

Money is another reason why celebrities is focusing on mobile apps . It is a known fact that celebrity app is more likely to gain downloads , awareness than a non branded apps .

Why To Use Kotlin As Developmental Language In Android Today

kotlin app developer

So Android developer are you still working in Java , even after official announcement of Kotlin an an official supported language to write Android apps ? Do you still have a deep feel than Java is better and you don’t have enough reason for change ?

Lets look at some of the points below which according to me is bit risky but one of the best then you can go if you plan to adopt Kotlin .

Language And Environment Are Mature

The Kotlin is mature enough to handle almost everything , as because it has gone through numerous of stages before a final 1.0 release has come out in the market . The Alpha and Beta version of this has existed for several years in the market to use it in real project and after than a final version has rolled out .

Kotlin already consist of almost all the features that are existing in Java , thus working in Kotlin is awesome in that sense .

Easing Android App Development

According to Winklix , the only viable alternative that we have address till now is Kotlin . Kotlin is simply mixed with power . The development time is almost same as in Java ( sometimes it also appears to be faster ) , and it is not like other tools namely Scala which are heavy and complex to use.

Even the library used to write Kotlin is very small and will obviously not increase the method count that much .

It Can Be Easily Integrated With Android Studio

Kotlin can be well integrated with Android studio within 10 minutes without any hiccups , and that is the case when you don’t know a K about Kotlin .

The best thing being it works just like Java , you can run from IDE , debug without following the lengthy process , use instant run and more . We can simply can what you have imagined so far is available to be used on Kotlin .

If You Are Android Developer , You Need To Upgrade Yourself

Are you still working with Java 6 . Damm you are an outdated programmer then . Using a new language like Kotlin opens up the doors of your mind and will force you to think in a different way , in a new way !!

This new knowledge will help you wash your brain and you will be able to gain new knowledge of the code even if you don’t change the language you are using . Now as I have learned Kotlin , it helps to solve the things in different manner in Java but Kotlin has helped me in leading new concepts that I was not known before .

In addition to above , you will also become more versatile . If you look at the languages like Swift , Ruby , Groovy it will look like very similar language as they are using the similar concepts .

Also as a developer , your value will increase by default if you jump to another developmental language .

Much Safer Than Java

With using Kotlin , it results in :

  • Less errors as we usually write less code , thus making more difficult for the code to fail at any stage thereby giving us stable version of app .
  • Compiler in Kotlin helps you detect errors at compile time and so the error at the run time will not be found in any case
  • Code can be easily understood if someone else read the code .

This thus helps to spend less time with no errors and less time on bigs fixation and hence will definitely saves money ( Where time is considered as money )

Much Easier To Learn

One of the biggest advantages being is Java developers can understand the whole code even without studying the Kotlin language . This is because Jetbrains ( innovators of Kotlin language ) developers are much concern about moving from Java must be simple with developing a language which closely looks like Java only .

Thanks to simplicity of language and with the help of IDE and compiler , you can learn the basic language at lighting fast speed .

As per my personal experience , anyone will not take more than two weeks to write a well written code in Kotlin .

Conclusion

Kotlin is friendly language , and in case you want to be the innovators of new technology and want to improve your skills , developing a mobile app using Kotlin is always preferred .

At Winklix – A leading mobile app development company , we always love to use technological advancement to get the most benefit out of it .

How To Avoid Waste In Development Process Of Mobile App

This post is highlighting the waste that arises during mobile app development process , what is the reason for their occurrence and the best measure to be adopted to minimise or avoid the defect and can carry on effective development process .

Defects

Defects are known to be mistake that can give you unexpected output . They are extremely harmful for any project and for any mobile app development company as additional cost , resources and time will be required to fix on that defects . The defects may arise due to lots of reason , the most common  being is lack in  understanding of user requirement , poor team coordination , lack of technical feasibility and more .

It is the fact that we can eradicate the defects completely as they are part of development process , the only thing we can do is we can apply proper measures to reduce risk and correct defects quickly at the time we have detected the same.

How Process Helps Avoid This

Bug reduction together with code review by quality code reviewer , thereby improving quality of code and thereby enhancing quality of end product is the best measure we can adopt to avoid the defects arising out during the developmental process .

Overproduction

Overproduction is known to be happen when your projects goes beyond the roadmap and documentation in order to achieve the desired outcome . In app developmental process this is referred to extra functionalities and extra features . Overproduction leads to occurrence of more time by development team and will lead to inability to priories the things .

How Process Helps Avoid This

Proper planning avoid overproduction . Not building the functionalities which are not at all necessary and is beyond clients requirement reduces risk and increases efficiency .

Waiting

Waiting refers to anything which can cause delay in the development process . For instance delay in information from the client side , inaccurate capacity planning or delay from external parties which causes project delay and more .

How Process Helps Avoid This


Small team working together will be able to easily transfer knowledge and avoid issues that may arise if you rely on third party resources , and will obviously reduce the waiting time and reduces time wastage and timely delivery of mobile app .

Non Utilized Talent

This waste is known to be occurred when team member fails to take the complete advantage of the resources available which carrying on the agile development process .

How Process Helps Avoid This

For this process to work , each member has to be deeply analysed on the basis of their personalised skills so that each member can contribute as an active contributor in project completion , rather than assigning a task to specific person who only completes assigned task .

Our project manager tries to include the unique ideation of each employee and assigning of task accordingly to their skills , QA , designer etc . Also all team member will be involved in timely updates , giving demos and more in order to get the best possible outcome about the product under development .

Inventory

Inventory refers to unusable work that has been partially completed or completed ineffectively based on project parameters . It not only affect project budget of project , but also affects its velocity . Common causes includes incomplete information , not proper understanding , not proper communication , improper prioritisation .

How Process Helps Avoid This

The very first thing that our project manager do is to create roadmap and hand over the same to our team members to avoid any miscommunication therefor minimising inventory wastage and mitigates budgetary risk .
