DevTeam.Space desktop app developers can help suggest the most crucial non-functional requirements (NFRs) for your desktop application. The most popular desktop applications like Microsoft Office applications, Adobe Photoshop, Slack, and Skype have all focused on these NFRs for their success. These NFRs are:
Reliability;
Security;
Usability;
Performance.

While Objective-C is a powerful programming language, Swift is a more modern language. Apple largely prefers developers to use Swift for developing apps targeting its platforms. You should use Swift to develop a macOS desktop app.

DevTeam.Space provides a comprehensive career path for all developers including our desktop application developers. Developers working with us can see the growth opportunities available to them. We also routinely encourage our developers to upskill, which further boosts their morale. This is why all of our developers are highly motivated.

Top 10 desktop application development programming languages and frameworks

  1. Java
  2. Python
  3. C#
  4. JavaScript with HTML, CSS, and Node.js
  5. PHP
  6. Swift (for developing macOS desktop apps)
  7. Electron JS (a cross-platform desktop app development framework)
  8. WinForms (a framework for creating the user interface of Windows desktop apps)
  9. Cocoa (a framework for creating desktop apps for OS X)
  10. UWP (a framework for developing Windows desktop apps)

Java

If you have not used a Java-powered application in the past few days then you must have been on another planet. Java is one of the best-known and most used programming languages out there. Some examples of well-known apps built with Java include Google Maps, Skype, and the much-loved Angry Birds.

Our developers have built a huge range of great apps using Java. They love it for a number of reasons.

Some of the many advantages of Java:

  • It is an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that utilizes classes and objects to make it easier for developers to build and maintain custom applications.
  • Java has been around for a while and, as such, has benefitted enormously from continuous development. It has a large development community that not only ensures that Java remains a cutting-edge development language but also means developers have lots of support when it comes to troubleshooting issues.
  • As a platform-independent language, Java operates a “write once, run anywhere” principle which means that code can be run anywhere via the high-performance Java Virtual Machine. Naturally, this makes Java a very versatile development language.
    Thanks to its huge development community andJava being an open-source language, it comes with an enormous amount of support tools and libraries. This means developers can access a huge number of prebuilt classes and methods and quickly integrate them into the application without needing to code them from scratch.
  • Thanks to great features like Java’s memory management approach, which automatically reclaims memory from objects that are no longer in use, Java allows developers to create highly performant and reliable applications.
    Scalability is very important for desktop apps, and Java provides excellent scalability.

There are lots of other reasons like effective security features, huge IDE supports, Lambda expressions (since Java 8), etc., that make Java such a powerful programming language. Developers are a fussy crowd at best, so you can take it for granted that if they are using it in such high numbers, it must be doing a lot of things right.

Python

Python has been one of the most popular programming languages for many years. Spotify, Uber, Quora, and Netflix are just a few of the many successful apps developed in Python.

This open-source programming language is becoming even more prominent due to the higher volume of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science projects being undertaken today. Python occupies a pride of place in the desktop application development landscape too.

Our clients as well as desktop app developers love Python due to many reasons.

Advantages of Python:

  • For many developers, Python is the first programming language they learn. We say this only to show how easy it is to learn Python. This language is quite like English, therefore, the learning curve is small.
  • Python is remarkably easy to use. Developers can easily implement Python programming fundamentals, which isn’t the case with many other programming languages. Python handles a lot of complexities “under the hood” allowing developers to focus on delivering value to users.
  • Python is dynamically typed and highly flexible. Therefore, developers can quickly code desktop applications with Python.
  • Since Python is an interpreted language, code written in Python runs line-by-line. Python program execution shows only one error at a time. This helps developers to quickly debug Python code.
  • Desktop app developers do care about productivity. Python offers a lot of it due to the vast range of useful libraries, frameworks, and tools.
  • Python uses the “write once run anywhere” paradigm. You can run the same Python app on multiple platforms due to the portability of the language.
  • Developers like community support. They get plenty of it for Python due to the large, mature, and vibrant developer community.
  • Backed by a technology giant like Google, Python has a bright future. Developers can expect many more powerful features in Python in the coming years.

C#

Microsoft developed C# over 2 decades ago. If you think that the lapse of time would make C# any less popular due to the advent of many new programming languages, then you have another thing coming! C# continues to command considerable popularity among developers.

Apart from Microsoft, reputed companies like Stack Overflow, Trustpilot, City National Bank, and Service Titan use C# for a variety of purposes. This open-source, object-oriented programming language remains a prime choice for desktop app development too.

Why do leading organizations and C# developers love this language so much even after decades? The following are just a few of the reasons:

  • C# facilitates secure programming since it’s statically typed. Application security is a key consideration for desktop applications.
  • C#’s syntax is easy to understand and code. Developers can code quickly using C#. The syntax of C# also makes for a light learning curve.
  • C# has a comprehensive library with very important high-level functionalities. Developers can save a lot of time due to this.Programmers can easily enhance the functionalities of a C# app. This scalability is important for desktop app development.
  • While there are many object-oriented languages, C# uses the object-oriented programming paradigm very effectively. This makes C# efficient, furthermore, it makes C# programming easy.
  • Microsoft champions C# and there is a large developer community. Desktop app developers can easily get valuable support.

Deciding on which desktop app development programming language or framework to use will depend on your project requirements. If you are not sure what skills you will need or are looking for application developers then why not drop us a line?
