If you are considering a cross-platform or hybrid app development project, you have probably come across numerous frameworks and environments that support this approach. Two of the names that you will likely see are MEAN Stack and Angular (a component of the MEAN Stack framework).
Recent studies reveal that mobile apps are more popular than ever, and growing exponentially in the market. Here are just some of the study results to ponder:
In its review of the MEAN stack development suite, TechTarget.com states that, ‘(The MEAN) stack of development tools helps to eliminate the language barriers often experienced in software development.’ There is, perhaps, no better way to explain why the MEAN stack of tools and services has gained such popularity. Developers know their job and their tools but, when these tools are combined to provide more ease-of-use and to help developers navigate and leverage the various features, the development process is much simpler and quicker.
When a business is considering a MEAN approach to its mobile application development it is often faced with the stark reality that it cannot adequately staff the project with the skills and experience it needs. Perhaps its IT team has some of the skills, but no time to dedicate to yet another project. Perhaps, the internal IT team simply lacks the skills, whether those skills are technical, project management, quality, testing or in other areas.
