The benefits of web application
The web application can be used with all the operating systems in use
(Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.).
• Immediate access: no software needs to be downloaded.
• Updates: they are available without needing any installation.
• Centralized data: databases are stored on a server which is accessible
via a simple internet connection.
• Maximum security: as data are stored on an external server, they don’t
risk to be attacked by viruses caught on PC, tablet or smartphone.
• Extreme flexibility and simplicity: the user can interact from any
location, without being restricted to a single workstation.
The web application can be used simultaneously by more than one user.

Android App
The Apps developed for Android are based on Java. Usually, it is
used the Android Sdk (Software Development Kit) that includes all
the useful tools and APIs. Eclipse is the integrated development
environment officially supported. However, it is possible to rely on
different ones.
iOS App
Objective-C has been the most used language so far, but Apple has
recently launched Swift, safer and with a much simpler syntax. The
environment for the integrated development is Xcode, endowed
with a range of tools that simplify the processing, such as in the
interface design.
