ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF MOBILE PLATFORMS FROM A DEVELOPERS POINT OF VIEW

V diplomski nalogi se ukvarjamo s platformami Android, iOS in Windows Phone. Predstavili smo sam začetek pametnih telefonov in prelomnico, ki so jo povzročili na globalnem trgu. Predvsem pa smo se osredotočili na vodilne mobilne platforme Android, Windows Phone in iOS. Opisali smo njihovo zgodovino razvoja in strukturo. Izpostavili smo tudi njihove prednosti in slabosti, ki so še danes prisotne. Velik poudarek smo namenili vidiku razvijalca, kateremu so danes ponujene različne priložnosti za razvoj mobilnih aplikacij. Predstavili in opisali smo razvojna orodja Eclipse, Visual Studio in Xcode. Orodja spadajo med uradno podprta razvojna orodja za mobilne aplikacije, ki so na razpolago razvijalcem. Izpostavili smo razvojne pakete in razširitve, ki so nujno potrebne znotraj posameznih orodji. Na koncu diplomskega naloge pa smo direktno primerjali vse omenjene platforme in razvojna orodja ter s tem prikazali vidne razlike med njimi. Na koncu smo še dodali praktični primer gradnje identične mobilne aplikacij v razvojnih orodjih Eclipse in Visual Studio.In the thesis, we are dealing with mobile platforms. We have presented the very beginning of the smartphone and his impact on the global market. Above all mobile platforms that exists we have focused on the leading three Android, Windows Phone and iOS. We have described they’re history of evolvement and structure and highlighted they’re pros and cons that are present today. We have extensively focused on the developer’s point of view, which have different opportunities for developing mobile apps. We’ve described the different, officially supported development environments Eclipse, Visual Studio and Xcode which are meant for developing mobile applications for the above mentioned platforms. Next to the IDE we are going to focus on their tool packages and extensions. In the end of the thesis we’re going to compare both the IDE’s and mobile platforms. In the end of the thesis we have also tested the development tolls Eclipse and Visual studio on a practical example
