Desktop Applications Development

Our Expertise

Developex has 20+ years of experience in Desktop software development for projects of different sizes and complexity.

Our specialists can start work on your idea quickly and help with implementing custom software products based on your requirements, and users needs to the highest quality market standards.

Nowadays we are seeing more and more apps being created for Mobile platforms or Web/Cloud. This does not mean that Desktop application development is dead by any means. There are many instances where standalone software applications for Windows, Mac or Unix are still the preferred choice.

In industries where direct connectivity from PC to electronic devices is required in order to perform configuration, tuning or monitoring.

Any users that require the high speed and processing power of PC like graphic designers, architects and engineers, video/audio editors will also prefer faster, standalone software than a browser based tool.

PC Video Gamers that often use software to configure gaming peripherals.

Same goes for a large base of business users that often work not connected to the internet, have strict security requirements or require tight integration to other Desktop applications or Operating System functions.

What is desktop application development?

Desktop software apps are created to run on Desktop computers (PCs) and laptops. Windows applications can be deployed as executable or as Windows Store apps. MacOS applications are usually deployed through the Apple Store and Linux apps are deployed as executables.

There are many frameworks and languages used to create Desktop applications. They can be categorized by the platform they support or as Cross-platform technologies along with the programming languages and libraries used.

native application

software program that is developed for use on a particular platform (macOS - Objective C or Windows -.Net, C#) or device. Native apps are written in a code, preliminarily used for the target device and its OS.

NATIVE APPS FRAMEWORK AND TOOLS

Windows: .NET (WPF or Winforms), C# or VB.NET, UWP

MacOS : ObjectiveC

Linux: C++

Cross-Platform application

an application that can be run with little or no modification on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix platforms without compromising functionality, usability, or quality

CROSS-PLATFORM APP DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS

C++ and also C++ with Qt Framework

Java, ElectronUnity framework (.NET)

Python (wxPython, pyQT, pyGTK and others)

Industries where desktop apps are often needed

  • Consumer, Industrial and other Electronics

  • Enterprise software with special security, connectivity or integration requirements

  • Engineering, Design and Architecture

  • Healthcare

  • Computer games and tools for gamers

  • Media and Entertainment where video/audio rendering and processing, or heavy design is used

  • Virtual and Augmented Reality design

Native Application Development

Advantages of native applications

  • Broad functionality due to using the capabilities of the underlying device
  • Faster and more responsive software performance
  • UI that better matches with user experiences of the OS
  • Use of native frameworks which usually are most updated to OS functions and guidelines

Disadvantages of native applications:

  • Multiple code bases because each device has its own version of the app
  • Added cost fo additional developers to build and manage a code base for each platform
  • Time spent on multiple builds for separate platforms in each feature update
  • Separate full regression testing cycle for each platform

Desktop Application Development Tools

Why Сross-Platform Development is Sometimes Better than Native

Similar Logic and User Interface

If the same software is going to work on several different platforms and such software should have the same UI then a multi-platform type of development definitely should be at least considered.

Pressed for time

The development time is reduced by almost half. Also, when you work with Cross-platform development tools, changes affect only one piece of code, not two or more different native projects, so you will have a reduced amount of time spent on bugs fixes. The end result is that the delivery of new versions is faster and easier.

Efficiency with Small Teams

Developing and updating a Cross-platform project is fast and quality can be maintained with a relatively small team.

Framework Reliability

While Cross-platform development offers efficiency, the choice of framework is critical for project success; opt for proven and sustainable solutions to avoid potential drawbacks.

Application development with Qt and C++

Developex teams often prefer to use the Qt framework for these main reasons:

  • Code Reusability

    Leverage code reuse capabilities to develop features once and deploy them across multiple platforms simultaneously, reducing redundancy and development time

  • Customization Flexibility

    A wide range of customization options with Qt, empowering you to tailor your applications to meet specific user needs and preferences

  • Time-Efficient Development

    Qt enables faster development through unified code deployment across diverse screens and platforms, enhancing efficiency and productivity

  • Cost-Effective Solutions

    Qt offers cost-effective development, thanks to its streamlined development process and code reuse benefits

  • Transparent Code Support

    Code support is much more transparent and easy to implement

  • Simultaneous Release Capability

    It is much easier to release apps for different OS at the same time, without delay in between version announcements
