Mobile Development is a term used to denote the act or process by which a mobile app is developed for mobile devices, such as smart phones, personal digital assistants or tablets. These applications can be pre-installed on the mobile devices, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g., JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser. This category includes mobile enterprise application platform (MEAP) which is a suite of products and services that enable development of mobile applications. MEAPs address the difficulties of developing mobile software by managing the diversity of devices, networks and user groups at the time of deployment and throughout the mobile computing technology lifecycle. Unlike standalone apps, a MEAP provides a comprehensive, long-term approach to deploying mobility.
