OUR SERVICES
WEB APPS WITH BLAZOR
Blazor is Microsoft’s language and framework for developing Web Apps. It comes in two flavours: Server Side Blazor and Client Side Blazor.
With Server Side Blazor the software runs in the cloud and serves up HTML web pages to the user’s web browser. It uses a technology called SignalR that communicates between the web browser and the server. What that means for us as developers is that we don’t need to write Javascript, an expensive development capability. What that means for you, our client, is lower development costs.
With Client Side Blazor the software runs in the user’s browser, like desktop apps. They connect to a backend database running in the cloud. Compared to desktop apps which are preinstalled, this variety of Blazor app dynamically “installs” when the user accesses the web app.
Why does this matter to you?
Not having to write Javascript code means our costs are lower and you save money.
Running software on the user’s browser (Client Side Blazor) means that the software isn’t dependent on the speed or quality of the user’s internet service.
Running software on the server (Server Side Blazor) means the software isn’t dependent on the speed of the user’s computer.
MOBILE APPS WITH XAMARIN
Gone are the days of separate Apple and Android development. Now we develop a single app using Microsoft Xamarin Forms (pronounced “Zamarin”) which builds to a native iOS or native Android app and is deployed to the Apple and Android app stores.
We develop all apps to be internet independent as much as possible.
Why does this matter to you?
To build separate Apple and Android apps you need programmers with different skills, which in turn means an overhead to ensure they each build exactly the same functionality. It duplicates effort, takes more resources and costs more.
An app that has its own database and operates independently of the internet solves any internet connectivity issues you may have and costs no more to develop.

TESTIMONIALS
The Forest Fire and Regions group of DELWP has engaged Melbourne App Development for mobile application development services twice and have been very happy with the service received on both occasions. Melbourne App Development brought a high level of mobile application and Xamarin expertise together with a practical, outcome focused approach and rapid, clear communication of any impediments to delivery. They engaged well with our internal technical team and were able to come up to speed with our existing codebase rapidly. They were able to bring a lean and focused team to our projects that allowed us to meet our objectives within budget while still delivering a high quality outcome.
The team at Melbourne App Development really know their stuff. Along with the great apps they make Rod is active in the app development community and organises the local Xamarin meetup. He’s got a wealth of knowledge to share and is always up to date with the latest technology.
