Survey: Developers prefer jQuery for mobile web apps
Although nearly 600 mobile application developers have voted in a poll of the Mozilla Foundation, claims to a scientific study it found that the results are not. They gave but an idea of the preferred tools and target platforms, the HTML5 "evangelist" Christian Heilmann wrote in his presentation of the results.
The main target platforms are among respondents the Web, iOS and Android - "focus" respectively 63, 44 and 31 per cent on it. Windows Phone and BlackBerry are again for 39 and 51 percent of respondents as platforms not at all interesting.
By web developers using an overwhelming majority jQuery or jQuery Mobile, whose minimalist replica Zepto.js is nevertheless still at 20 percent. However, many participants used self-written JavaScript libraries rather than finished frameworks, writes Heilmann. For "disturbingly high" he holds the 15 percent share of the users of Sencha Touch. This framework only supported Webkit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. Mozilla should try to help the developers in the integration of additional browser, writes Heilmann.
Hardly play a role hitherto visual HTML5 editor like Adobe Edge, which Heilmann returns, among other things, that they are often still in the beta testing stage. Almost a third of respondents to test their app with the Webkit engine. About half of them reasoned that the time required, the testing requires with other browsers, 42 percent do not know what brings support for more browsers.
