How to map common desktop paradigms to mobile
devices

• Inception All apps start with an idea. That
  idea is usually refined into a solid basis for
  an application.
• Design The design phase consists of defining
  the apps User Experience (UX) such as what the
  general layout is, how it works, etc., as well as
  turning that UX into a proper User Interface
  (UI) design, usually with the help of a graphic
  designer.
• Development Usually the most resource intensive
  phase, this is the actual building of the
  application.
• Stabilization When development is far enough
  along, QA usually begins to test the application
  and bugs are fixed. Often times an application
  will go into a limited beta phase in which a
  wider user audience is given a chance to use it
  and provide feedback and inform changes.
• Deployment

Desktop Applications

• Richest user experience
• Very responsive
• Drawing programs and many games need to react
  immediately to
• the users actions.

Mobile Apps

• Simpler Design
• Minimize Cognitive Load Link
• Cognitive load refers here to the amount of brain
  power required to use the app. The human brain
  has a limited amount of processing power, and
  when an app provides too much information at
  once, it might overwhelm the user and make them
  abandon the task.

Understanding the comparison of desktop and
mobile APIs

• User expectations of responsiveness and
  connectivity timescale
• Mobile applications need different or more
  limited data sets
• Operating system architecture
• Mobile APIs may need to accommodate multiple
  simultaneous interactions

User expectations of responsiveness and
connectivity timescale

• Mobile operations are expected to occur on a
  shorter timescale, so
• its vital that your API allows for this high
  degree of responsiveness.
• What can take 4 secs on a Desktop could be hours
  on a mobile app
• Four in ten Americans say theyll give up if a
  mobile shop takes more than three seconds to
  load. Since 5G will soon make blistering speeds
  the norm, this timeframe could be reduced even
  further within a year or two.
• That one-second delay creates a 16 decrease in
  customer satisfactionespecially bad for apps
  with many competitors.

Mobile applications need different or more
limited data sets

• Quite often a desktop API dumps the kitchen
  sink in terms of data,
• delivering every possible field and permutation
• Lot of undue overhead if only a subset of the
  data is actually needed

Operating system architecture

• Power consumption
• Database configuration
• Differences between how APIs frequently interact
  with the device operating system

Mobile APIs may need to accommodate multiple
simultaneous interactions

• Interactions with a website and IoT devices or
  communications with device hardware and multiple
  third-party mobile apps
• Adds to the complexity of the mobile APIs

Optimizing UX/UI while porting desktop
applications to tablets or mobile devices

• UX Design
• UX is usually done via wireframes or mockups
  using one of the many design toolkits. UX
  mockups allow the UX to be designed without
  having to worry about the actual UI design
• UI design
• While UX is typically just black and white
  mockups, the UI Design phase is where colors,
  graphics, etc., are introduced and finalized.
  Spending time on good UI design is important and
  generally, the most popular apps have a
  professional design.
• Follow Platform Guidelines
• Apple - Human Interface Guidelines
• Android Design Guidelines
• UWP UWP Design basics
