Justin McNeil
Committee
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to research and explore the processes of developing a cross-platform mobile application. Additionally, the paper explores the advantages and disadvantages of the hybrid approach to mobile development. The paper describes the development process of the mobile application, Walk Tracer, that calculates caloric expenditure using the American College of Sports Medicine metabolic formulas. Walk Tracer gives users the ability to measure the calories used during walk or run exercises. Walk Tracer will provide the user information on their past workouts and use the google maps API to display the user’s route. This app was developed using J query mobile, HTML5, local storage, JavaScript and CSS3 web technologies. The paper includes an analysis of competitors, an overview of different mobile development strategies and suggestions for the future implementation of Walk Tracer.
