Nine blogs to watch for hybrid mobile app developers

[51CTO.com Quick Translation] The rapid popularization of HTML 5 technology has brought great benefits to many technical fields, including web development, game programming, and mobile application development. The emergence of HTML 5 web applications or mobile websites has also set off a new wave of mobile development. It allows mobile developers to create responsive cross-platform mobile applications and easily use modern development technologies such as HTML 5, CSS3, and JavaScript. However, the birth of modern development platforms such as Apache Cordova has really triggered a revolution in mobile application development, which allows us to host HTML 5 applications in native browser shells and access a variety of local device functions, including cameras and accelerometers. In this way, HTML 5 mobile applications are closer to native applications in terms of look and feel and usage experience.

Taking advantage of this trend, many powerful HTML 5 SDKs and mobile development frameworks have begun to emerge, which can greatly simplify the development process of such hybrid applications.

In today's article, we will share the most popular technical blogs, which contain a lot of topics and opinions suitable for mobile developers, professional developers and even beginners, enough to help you understand mobile development technology and hybrid application development practices.
