Swift Mobile App Development

Mobile app stores have hit a record high volume of downloads and an example to this statement can be borrowed from the Apple App Store. A ComScore report states that the available 1.2 million applications in the iOS app store occupy 42% of the market in terms of installations. Besides these impressive numbers, mobile development is set to become all the more lucrative with the launch of Swift, a multi-paradigm programming language. The language utilizes the Objective-C runtime in the XCODE IDE; works effectively with frameworks like Cocoa and Cocoa Touch, besides being able to work parallel with Objective-C.

This blog post has been created with the intention of highlighting some of the major features of working with Swift while developing mobile applications by the iPhone app development company California.
  • Swift uses the LLVM compiler that transforms the source code into optimized native codes for enhanced performance on devices powered by the iOS operating system.
  • The language has been designed to be inherently secure and resilient to errors with the use of inferred types. These patterns are also tuned for efficient integration using Cocoa as well as Cocoa Touch APIs.
  • It is also more concise and has a clean syntax as compared to Objective-C. Developers working with Swift do not have to worry about memory management as it is automatically handled.
  • Debugging in Swift is handled through an REPL (Run-Eval-Print loop), the performance of which is further enhanced with a highly interactive “Playground” view running in the XCODE IDE.
It will be a while before programming in Swift becomes mainstream and replaces Objective-C as the standard iPhone app development language. But until then, mobile application development requirements, with Swift, can be fulfilled by partnering with technology outsourcing partners.

Clavax Technologies is an iPhone app development company California, offering services in creating highly innovative as well as interactive mobile applications using the latest technologies and frameworks.

Structured for Knowledge: Big Data Storage

At the current rate of growth, enterprise data is set to increase 50 times by the year 2020 while the digital universe is set to explode to 40 zettabytes from the present 3.2 zettabytes. The storage structures utilized for collecting, storing and analyzing such huge volumes of digital content would require flexible as well as scalable infrastructure. Although these records are largely unstructured, an organization also has infinite structured sets of raw records. The information storage structures like relational databases and tables have long passed, giving way to the use of hyperscale computing environments, capable of storing and scaling depending on the data influx. These computing environments are usually designed to run analytics engines like NoSQL, Hadoop, and Cassandra. Typically equipped with PCIe flash storage, hyperscale computation is deployed either in combination with disk or stand-alone storage in the server, so as to maintain storage latency to the minimum.

A hyperscale computing environment comprises numerous commodity servers equipped with direct-attached storage (DAS), which is utilized by most large-scale enterprises for managing their records.  Besides their storage capacity and scalability, hyperscales also have computational capabilities that include fast response times for large sets of information. But for organizations that do not require too much computational speed, as well as scalable storage, clustered or scale-out Network-attached storage (NAS) is quite an effective solution. Furthermore, there is another big data storage option that can specifically tackle large and quantifiable number of files is the Object Storage. This storage media can scale large files and that too to very high capacities.

Based in California, Clavax offers technology services and solutions for mobile, software, and web app development. As a web application development company California, the company has a global clientele, functioning in diverse segments of the industry. Besides offering design & development services, the technology consultants in the company also offer valuable insights into Big Data and analytics solutions.
