The Flutter framework: our developers are still looking for the big flaws!

Blue Soft has designed a member networking application for the CCI France International network, using the recently launched Flutter framework, powered by Google. With Flutter, hybrid development, hitherto unconvincing, has clearly reached a new level, in terms of performance and simplicity, as well as aesthetics. The Flutter framework at the cutting edge of hybridization! Released at the end of 2018, the Google Flutter framework is already in version 2.8, and the prognosis is eminently good. Just look at our own developers Blue Soft and the enthusiasm they're expressing for this technology. Easy to use, Flutter is all about beauty. It has forged a place of choice in the hearts of our teams, especially and strangely, among those under 30. In our article on how to make a career in development, we recommend the usefulness of an early focus on a particular technology. The Flutter framework, for example, can be a very good choice for an early career. The Flutter framework doesn't just appeal to our young developers. The 120,000 stars awarded on GitHub bear witness to its success on a wider scale. It's a success that goes hand in hand [...].

6 IT trends that will change the development world in 2022

Remote infrastructure management, DevOps and hyper-automation, low-code, API-First and Security-first are some of the trends that are going to move in 2022... Blue Soft reveals its predictions on the IT and development trends to follow in 2022 to stay competitive. #1 The remote infrastructure management trend, or how to reconcile development and telework The generalization of telework implies new infrastructure needs for the IT departments of organizations: a stable and performing internet network, a certain computing power, an enterprise social network, very rigorous cybersecurity processes, etc. For all these reasons, Remote Infrastructure Management (RIM) is growing in popularity. RIM is a process of monitoring and managing IT infrastructure. Data center, networks, email, devices, storage, ERP, operating system, security, servers, support, database, applications, telephony and services... Everything is involved. The advantage of this management method lies in the centralization of all these elements within a single management platform. Thus, IT teams, from a remote location, can perform corrective actions to ensure continuous availability. With RIM, the administrator performs on-site repairs only if [...]

Mobile application security: vulnerabilities to watch out for

Computer systems and computers are not the only ones with security vulnerabilities: mobile devices and applications are also very vulnerable to cyber attacks. Some vulnerabilities are more frequent on this type of technical environment and it is necessary to detect them, from the creation phase of an application to the end of its life cycle. I - Security on Android and iOS: two rooms, two atmospheres On the smartphone market, two operating systems predominate: iOS and Android. In June 2021, their combined market share is 99.9% on the French market. Source : Apple or Android Nation? Statista These two operating systems have their own specificities in terms of application development. Indeed, while iOS applications are mainly programmed in Objective-C language, Java is used on Android. The same goes for their installation, configuration, programming environment, design, testing and management of the cybersecurity strategy. II - The main types of vulnerabilities in mobile applications Before listing the main vulnerabilities observed in mobile applications, it is important to remember that there are two categories of vulnerabilities in mobile applications.

How do you secure your mobile application data?

How do you secure your mobile application data? In the age of hyper-connectivity, the issue of data protection is a constant in cybersecurity. There is no shortage of examples of massive hacking, as in May 2020 when a smartphone caller ID app reported a security breach. The personal data of over 47.5 million users was then exposed to theft. Today, the security of application data must be maintained throughout the entire Application Development Life Cycle (ADLC), long after the application has been downloaded by the end user. Rest assured: there are many ways to effectively improve data security on a mobile application, without compromising the user experience. Best practice no. 1 for securing data on your mobile application: analyze risks upstream An application's areas of vulnerability vary according to its architecture and functionality. It is therefore essential to carry out a preliminary risk analysis before launching a development project. To do this, make sure you know all the features of your future application: do you want to integrate a payment module? An identification system? Do you have a [...]

In 2021, 4 types of application development will predominate. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. From Web Apps to hybrid applications, through native development and native generated applications, here is an overview of these application development models to help you define which one to choose for your project. The 4 main types of application development: native application, native generated application, hybrid application and Web App Contrary to popular belief, mobile applications are not on the decline, quite the contrary: they effectively meet the needs of many projects and users. Although there are others, here are 4 types of application development selected according to 3 criteria: popularity, efficiency and profitability. Native application development, to aim for excellence Native remains the main technology for mobile application development. It is simply a matter of using a specific language for each operating system to create the application from scratch on each platform. The development of a mobile application on iOS or Android differs and therefore requires 2 distinct projects, which requires a lot of time and resources. Technically, programming languages vary [...]
