What are the best technologies for desktop applications?
Choosing technologies for desktop applications depends on the target platform and functionality.
Electron allows building cross-platform apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Qt and .NET are popular for native Windows and macOS applications. JavaFX supports programs running on multiple systems.
High-performance projects often use C++ or C#.
Technology choice should also consider maintainability, integration with other systems, and support for testing and updates.
The right technology enables stable, efficient, and secure desktop applications.
-
Desktop applications can run on Windows, macOS, and Linux, depending on user needs and work environment.
-
The development time depends on project complexity – simple programs can take a few weeks, more advanced ones several months.
-
The cost of a desktop application depends on functionality and technology – from a few thousand to several hundred thousand dollars.
-
The security of desktop applications depends on implemented technologies, authorization mechanisms, and data protection, but properly deployed apps can be very secure.
-
Web applications use frontend technologies like Angular, HTML, CSS, SCSS, TypeScript, and JavaScript, and backend technologies such as Node.js, PHP, NestJS, or .NET Core. The database can be relational or non-relational.
