Hybrid mobile applications are certainly reliable and have consistently proven to be efficient for the implementation of scenarios. These applications can access native mobile features such as the camera, compass, directories, and settings. This reduces costs and the duration of the development life cycle, which is the biggest advantage. In this chapter, we will have an introduction to and learn how to develop mobile applications with IBM Worklight.

If your perspective is primarily relevant to marketing or public interaction, a hybrid application is almost always going to make sense as a practical first step in your mobile outreach strategy. This is because a hybrid application has a number of advantages over native applications, including broader accessibility, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness. We will now discuss web technologies in detail.
