Android Studio
Mobile app development tools are used for
creating a mobile app seamlessly. In short, an
app development tool allows the developers to
write, test and deploy apps into the target
mobile application platform environment. Take a
sneak peek at the different app development tools
helping developers deliver world-class apps.
1. Intelligent Code Editor
Code editor facilitates the writing of better
codes, faster working while increasing
productivity through advanced code completion,
code analysis, and refactoring.

Android Studio
2. Instant and Feature rich Emulator
The Emulator works towards installing the app
while accelerating its pace. It even allows the
developer to prototype and ultimately tests the
app on various Android devices such as phones,
tablets, Android Wear, Android TV devices, etc.
It also has the feature to include a variety of
hardware functions such as GPS location, network
latency, motion sensors, multi-touch input, etc.
3. Impeccable Testing Tools
The great tools present within Android Studio
helps the developers in testing the apps
developed through test frameworks such as JUnit 4
and functional UI test. Further, it also has an
Espresso Test Recorder where the developers can
record the interactions done within an app on a
device, thereby generating a UI test code. A
developer can run their tests on a device, an
emulator, a continuous integration environment,
or in Firebase Test Lab.

Visual Code
The visual code has been developed by Microsoft
and works as a source code editor. It works
seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This
free and open source framework provides a variety
of features ranging from debugging, built-in Git
version control, syntax highlights, snippets, etc.
1. Using Programming Languages Through
IntelliSense
Intellisense is basically a term used for
denoting a variety of code editing features such
as code completion, parameter info, quick info,
content assist, and code hinting. The
Intellisense for Visual Studio is used for
JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, Less,
and Sass out of the box. Also, the languages
which are not supported by default can also be
used by the developers through Intellisense
extension feature.

2. Integrated Version Control
With its Git integration built-in feature, Visual
code helps developers in instantly seeing the
changes that they are making within their project.
3. Debugging and side by side Editing
The visual code comes with great debugging
support. It has an inbuilt debugger which helps
the developers in editing, compiling and
debugging loop. Further, it even has the option
of side by side editing. This comes in handy when
the developers need to refer one files code for
another file. It helps the developers in opening
side by side editor for the same file or
different files and manages the codes
effectively. Along with the simplicity of source
code editor backed by the impeccable developer
tooling, the developers at Techtic have been
using Visual code and making it's customer's app
ideas into a successful reality.

Sublime Text
Sublime text works as a cross-platform source
code editor and is incorporated with a Python
application programming interface. Apart from
supporting a lot of programming languages and
markup languages, it also let the developers add
a plethora of functions with the help of its
extensive plugins. See how developers are using
it globally.
1. Goto Anything
The feature of Goto Anything allows the opening
of files with just a few clicks. This lets the
user jump to any line, word or symbol instantly.

Sublime Text
2. Goto Definition
Sublime text automatically generates a
project-wise index of each of its class, method,
and function with the help of syntax definitions.
This index further empowers Goto definition and
allows the users to customize varied features
according to their needs
3. High-end API and Package Ecosystem
As mentioned above, Sublime Text comes with a
powerful Python API that can augment inbuilt
functionalities with the help of plugins.
Besides, the package control can be installed
through the command palette. It makes thousands
of packages built by the community easily
accessible. The developers at Techtic take
advantage of the native functionality of Sublime
text. They further use customized user interface
kit for speed and beauty optimization of the apps
they develop.

JavaScript
Javascript works as a dynamic computer
programming language. It is being used by 66 of
developers worldwide. Apart from being
lightweight, it is also used as a part of the web
pages. Once it is implemented, it allows the
client-side script to communicate with a user
along with developing a plethora of dynamic
pages. In short, it works as an interpreted
programming language having the ability of object
orientation. Here's a detailed outlook at its
various features.
1. Reduced Server Interaction
It helps a developer validate user input before
sending the page off the server. This, in turn,
helps in saving server traffic, thereby resulting
in reduced load on the server.

JavaScript
2. Increased Communication
It helps the developers create a plethora of
interfaces. Such interfaces come with a feature
of reaction. To put it in other words, these
interfaces react and let the developers know when
and how a user uses it with a mouse or activates
itself through a keyboard.
3. Enhanced and Rich Interface
The rich interface of JavaScript helps the
developers include a variety of items including
drag and drop components and sliders. This gives
users a rich interface experience. Techtic is
leveraging a lot out of the bright future of
JavaScript. Its developers are making extensive
use of this high-end language for the development
of excellent mobile apps in no time.

Kotlin
Kotlin is an open source, general-purpose app
development language for the Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) and Android. It works with a combination of
object-orientation and functional programming
features. Furthermore, it also focusses on
safety, clarity, tooling support and
interoperability. Take a look at its plethora of
features.
1. Smooth Plugins
The plugins for Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) work smoothly at Kotlin. The
reason behind its smooth functioning is that it
was tried and tested in alpha and beta version
for years before its final launch.

Kotlin
2. Easy Android Development
Kotlin is all about simplicity dipped in power.
It helps developers develop great Android apps
through its fast compilation time. The library
needed to code for Kotlin apps is very small. As
a result, it doesn't increase the method count
much and makes the whole app development process
easy.
3. Seamless Integration with Android Studio
While the Android 2.3 is integrated with Kotlin
through a simple plugin, the Android 3.0
integrates the whole language seamlessly. This,
in turn, assists a developer in debugging, doing
refractors, using instant run etc., efficiently.
Developers at Techtic have gained immense value
for app development through extensive use of
Kotlin. From doing more work in less time to
spending less time in fixing bugs, the Techtic
developers know exactly how to extract the best
out of this programming language.

Java
Java is a general purpose, a class-based
programming language with a tendency of
concurrency, object orientation with a run time
environment consisting of JVM. It is not only
accessible for free but, also supports all the
major platforms. Here's a look at its various
features.
1. Portability
Java works as an independent platform. In short,
it works in such a way that the application
written on one platform can be seamlessly ported
to another application.

2. Security
Java works as a highly secured language where all
the compiled code into bytecode. This makes it
unreadable for humans, thereby preventing
suspicious activities from untrusted sources.
This, in turn, enables the development of tamper
and virus free apps.
3. Dynamic Approach
From supporting dynamic memory allocation and
reducing the memory wastage to enhancing the
performance of applications developed through it,
Java does it all effectively. From
understanding the basics of Java to making use of
its extensive tools, the developers at Techtic
use Java like a pro for programming and
developing world-class apps in no time.
