Appium is an open-source tool for automating native, mobile web, and hybrid applications on iOS mobile, Android mobile, and Windows desktop platforms. Native apps are those written using the iOS, Android, or Windows SDKs. Mobile web apps are web apps accessed using a mobile browser (Appium supports Safari on iOS and Chrome or the built-in 'Browser' app on Android). Hybrid apps have a wrapper around a "webview" -- a native control that enables interaction with web content. Projects like Apache Cordova make it easy to build apps using web technologies that are then bundled into a native wrapper, creating a hybrid app.

Importantly, Appium is "cross-platform": it allows you to write tests against multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Windows), using the same API. This enables code reuse between iOS, Android, and Windows testsuites.

Android Studio is Google's default Android development environment. Like it's counterpart AppCode, it is based on JetBrains' standard IDE codebase which means it has excellent code editing, code completion, and refactoring tools. With the introduction of Jetpack Compose it can also provide a live preview of your Android UI as you type, rivalling Apple's live preview for SwiftUI. Studio comes with all the tools a developer needs to build, test, and distribute an Android app, plus it can be used to develop cross-platform with iOS using React Native or via the Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile plug-in. Android Studio is free to use.

AppCode is JetBrains' mobile and desktop app development environment. It can be used as an alternative (or extension) to Xcode for iOS and macOS development, and also for cross platform Android development via the Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile plug-in. AppCode uses the same text editing engine as all other Jetbrains IDEs, this includes highly customisable formatting options, code completion, live templates and much more. AppCode also features excellent refactoring tools, often going far beyond what is possible with Xcode. AppCode requires an ongoing subscription to use.

Paw is a full-featured HTTP client that lets you test and describe the APIs you build or consume. It has a beautiful native macOS interface to compose requests, inspect server responses, generate client code and export API definitions.

An integrated development environment (IDE) is a feature-rich program that supports many aspects of software development. The Visual Studio IDE is a creative launching pad that you can use to edit, debug, and build code, and then publish an app. Over and above the standard editor and debugger that most IDEs provide, Visual Studio includes compilers, code completion tools, graphical designers, and many more features to enhance the software development process.

Astro is an all-in-one web framework for building fast, content-focused websites. Astro leverages server-side rendering as much as possible to significantly reduce the amount of JavaScript sent to the browser, resulting in high performance websites. Astro is also fully-featured yet flexible, containing features like file-based routing, asset handling, image optimisation, and full TypeScript support.

One of Astro's main features is that it's UI-agnostic, meaning you can use any frontend framework. There is official support for React, Preact, Solid, Svelte, Vue and Lit, as well as Astro's own component language, and you can even mix and match different frameworks on the same page.

Astro reached v1.0 in August 2022 after 16 months of development and testing.

Bootstrap is a free and open-source CSS framework directed at responsive, mobile-first front-end web development. Created in 2013, Bootstrap quickly became a popular design choice for many websites, due to its wide array of customisable components, modern design and cross-browser support. Bootstrap uses SASS along with modern CSS features like Flexbox, and extends some components with JavaScript to enable dynamic features.

While its popularity has decreased due to the advent of JavaScript frameworks and tools, Bootstrap is still used on millions of websites, proving extremely popular with beginner developers, and is still actively developed and shipping new features.
