Frameworks and libraries help you, the web developer, focus on creating rather than figuring stuff out. Rather than reinventing the wheel, you can use a framework or library to delegate brunt, non-creative and repetitive work, freeing up your time and energy to create the actual mobile app,website or application.
These frameworks can help you create the right applications for example, whether we are talking about desktop applications or mobile apps. Web development is supposed to be fast and creative, and most of your time has to be taken by the actual creation and not the figuring out how to do low level technical stuff. In this article, I will feature new frameworks that will help you in order to develop desktop and mobile applications that if picked wisely may significantly speed up and make your development more effective.
