Performance Summary Congratulations! You have made it to the end of the performance part of the book. If you have read all the way up to here, you should have a very good grounding on the most important aspects of designing mobile application code that performs well. You will be in a position to explore the creative possibilities that mobile devices offer. Because performance is a multifaceted topic, it has been approached in the previous chapters by drilling into details of the specific areas and layers of design that most influence a mobile application's performance. The discussion started with an overview of performance from a design philosophy and process perspective. We then moved on to looking at how various areas of common mobile application functionality can be made to perform poorly or well depending on design choices and looked at specific strategies to ensure good performance in those domains. It is now time to round out the performance discussion by integrating the different discussion threads back together into a set of concluding thoughts and best practices. |
