The rise of Swift is one of the current trends in IT industry
According to a recent survey, Apple’s Swift is now the most-loved language among developers followed closely by Swift with 11 million downloads.
In less than a year, Swift has become a programming language that is hugely perceived among software developers. This coding language has been featured in numerous apps from different well-known brands namely American Airlines and LinkedIn.
Keeping this rising new technology in mind, we have already developed many projects based on the new Swift and our developers are ready to strike the Swift market.
Document-oriented database “NoSQL”
In recent discussions about databases, one of the terms frequently mentioned is “NoSQL.” Today, “NoSQL” databases are gaining mindshare as an alternative model for database management.
In 2021, the global NoSQL market recorded a market value of $55 billion. In the period from 2022-2027, the market is forecasted to witness a CARG of 30.2% and the market value reached $27.4 billion in 2027
This epic increase in Big Data has highlighted new methods for addressing the volume and variety of structured and unstructured data.
Other technologies that have gained increasing popularity after NoQSL are MongoDB, Hadoop, and CouchDB. These are generally called ‘document-oriented databases.
Going Responsive with Bootstrap
Emerging trends have urged websites to a responsive site compatible with mobile and other screen-size devices. Bootstrap comes as the first choice for developing responsive websites.
Recently Bootstrap has released its new version 5.2 with many bug fixes, accessibility improvements, and documentation updates.
The mobile-first design strategy was adopted by Bootstrap, which emphasizes responsive web design by default. Bootstrap technology is here to stay long in responsive website development.
Don’t you know Node JS and Angular JS?
Node JS and Angular JS
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for server-side and networking applications.
It is gaining adoption as a server-side platform and is used by many big IT companies like IBM, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Walmart, Groupon, SAP, LinkedIn, PayPal, etc.
Seeing this you can imagine how famous and emerging the Node JS platform is. Recent Node JS releases are 0.12.7
AngularJS- It is the most popular in software development. It’s an open-source web application framework maintained by Google and by a community of individual developers and corporations. This web framework aims to address many of the challenges encountered in developing single-page applications.
According to the JavaScript analytics service Libscore, AngularJS is used on the websites of NBC, Intel, Sprint, and ABC News. And approximately 8,400 other sites out of 1 million were tested in July 2015.
Time of Open Source Cloud Platforms
Open-source software has become a source of grief for tech majors like Cisco, IBM & Oracle. The advancements in cloud computing and the Internet of Things are the major drivers of open source.
Companies are seeing larger benefits with the adoption of open-source software as a core strategic technology. According to a recent Gartner report, by 2017, about 90% of Indian IT organizations will have open-source software (OSS) embedded in their mission-critical platforms.
The financial sector, mainly banks, retail, and telecommunication sectors, is looking at customized enterprise solutions based on open-source platforms for greater flexibility and cost reduction.
International Data Corporation IDC forecast indicates a rise in the adoption of open-source software, especially among small and mid-size businesses.
MBaaS shoot-out
The concept of Mobile Backend as a Service is already well developed. Enterprise-oriented MBaaS systems provide integration with existing applications and databases.
Nowadays, enterprises follow the concept of MaaS to develop enterprise mobile apps.
The general idea of MBaaS is that mobile apps need common services that can be shared among apps instead of being custom-developed for each.
It typically provides push notifications, file storage and sharing, integration with social networks, location services, messaging and chat functions, user management, the ability to run business logic, and usage analysis tools.
eCommerce turning into M-commerce
Increasingly, eCommerce businesses are switching to M-Commerce with businesses developing a mobile site, according to a survey by CNBC. You can check it out here “M-commerce market in India to touch $19 billion by 2019”.
