The Future of Tech Begins with Exposure, Mentorship & Real World Learning

At CloudXperte, we believe the future of technology is driven by curious learners and passionate innovators. In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world industry practice isn’t just important, it’s essential. That’s why we’ve opened our doors to ambitious students from across the region, offering more than just a company tour; we offer a launchpad for transformation.

One recent example was the educational visit by students from Maulana Azad College of Arts, Science, and Commerce, Aurangabad. Under the leadership of Principal Dr. Mazahar Ahmed Farooqui and H.O.D. Syed Abeduddin, 51 students, and 5 faculty members from the Department of BCA-BCS engaged in a comprehensive industry immersion program. What began as a simple tour quickly became a meaningful step toward deeper academic-industry collaboration.

Another impactful instance was the participation of over 25 students from Chh. Shahu College of Engineering, who engaged in CloudXperte’s hands-on training and evaluation sessions. Through focused mentorship and real-world project exposure, nearly 50% of these students were successfully hired as software testers, marking a significant milestone in our effort to align academic talent with industry demand.

Mobile App Development Companies are always on the search for better developers. They prefer to make the most out of the salaries that they pay. So, as a developer, you might need to hone your skills in order to become successful doing mobile app development.

Here are some tips that would help you to become a better mobile app developer.

1. Read other Developer’s Code

No matter how good a developer you are, you always have one thing or the other to learn from your co-workers. You should actively take effort in reading other people’s code and learn from them. That way you could be exposed to a new logic or a new angle of solving a problem, thereby growing yourself into a better developer.

2. Get Someone to Read your Code Too

Getting someone to read your code is as important as reading other people’s code. Mobile App Developers  are often too timid or too egoistic to consider this approach.

For most people it is so hard to find one’s own mistake. We are all so pleased with our hard work, ain’t we? You comb for errors and you feel more confident about your code. So, it is worth remembering that a good code is something that everybody could understand and not yourself alone.

3. Fix Bugs Prior to Writing New Code

Can you guess what is the most harmful thing that Mobile App Developers thinks when he finds out a bug?

It’s thinking that you will fix it later. If you can break out of this habit, you will get one step closer to better mobile app development.

4. Learn New Technologies

Those who have started developing for Apple recently might have seen how Swift is being widely adopted and replacing Objective C. It is very important that a developer constantly be aware of the changing technologies and train themselves to stay in demand.

5. Write a Blog Post

You know that you understand a topic well when you are able to teach it to others. There is no better way of sharing your unique experiences, knowledge, and love for programming than writing blog posts.

6. Contribute to Open Source

People could easily think that this is so purposeless. In a world where conversion is everything, why should one give one’s service for free? Why should one make waste of their valuable family time?

Contributing to open source has got it’s own advantages. You can keep informed of the trends in the field and collaborate with other developers outside of your organization. This will help you in networking as well.

7. Fix it, Don’t Hack It

When you have a messy code to deal with and a tight schedule at hand, it will always be tempting to hack it instead of fixing it. A priceless advice is to take your time and find the bug, no matter what. Otherwise, you will end up getting more frustrated and irritated than you were, when the vanished error keeps coming back later to kick you in the ass.

8. Do Test Driven Development (TDD)

Unit testing can be exhausting for Mobile App Developers, especially when a shoddy code is bequeathed to you from a second developer. For a superior codebase, it is always better to break the untested code into blocks and add the tests one by one.

9. Take Ten Odd Minutes Away from the Desk

Last but not the least, leave your desk and have a stretch. As a programmer, sitting glued to the desk all day would be nothing unfamiliar to you. But if you don’t want to spend all the money you make on medical bills, take enough breaks and take it wisely. It will also help you to stay focused under the pressure and avoid things that might set you off.

9 Tips to Prepare for an Android App Developer Interview

Android is the most popular mobile platform currently. A career in android app development would be many fresh graduate’s dream job. Well, not so fast. The first skill you need to have is the skill of cracking the android app developer interview.

Several things are known by all like the importance of having a well written resume, being honest, using a good body language, reaching the site early etc. But, most will be ignorant about ways that could make them stand out or face job interviews confidently.

The following tips will help you in preparing for an Android app developer interview in a better way.

1. Be Prepared for the Whole Interview Experience

Attending the interview is not just about being prepared to answer the technical questions alone. While you have to work your way around that, nailing the non-technical and non-verbal part has got a huge impact on the success of your overall performance at the interview.

You should be prepared to answer all those friendly questions along with the uncomfortable ones like why you were jobless for a certain period. You should be prepared for the tricky questions as well. For e.g. if the interviewer asks you, if you are more comfortable working with a team or alone, you should answer the question taking into consideration the nature of the company.

So many candidates leave the interview without asking further questions to the interviewer, thinking that it’s not their business or that the interviewer might feel irritated. This is not a recommended practice as showing your curiosity in knowing the details convey your interest in proceeding further.

2. Be Yourself and Don’t Bluff

Whatever you know, answer it confidently. If you are asked a question that you don’t know, tell them that you are not sure and then continue with the answer. Never try to explain a wrong answer confidently. That can make your interviewer doubt on your correct answers also.

3. Keep Updated about the Latest News and Trends in the Industry

Even though you might not be able to have a detailed knowledge about everything, it will always give you an upper hand when you are aware about the latest trends and technology in the android app development industry. So, listen to tech news constantly and make it a habit to research about similar topics. You can follow known bloggers and watch Google I/O. This will give the interviewer an idea about how interested you are in the field.

4. It is not Enough to know the Languages Alone

It is often a misconception that having an in-depth knowledge about the programming language is what makes you a top developer. Well, this is definitely not so. Make sure that you have enough idea about the android app development process as a whole – from conception of a project idea to marketing tactics. Even possessing a certain level of entrepreneurial spirit will prove beneficial in a developer’s career.

5. What Exactly do you Know about the Company?>

This tip can seem so obvious, but most are careless even to go through the company’s website before appearing for the interview. Research well about the company’s background so that you don’t have to face an embarrassing situation while attending the interview. Speak about your interest in working with them. Always remember that this is a chance which you could cleverly use to impress the interviewer.

6. Develop an App to Showcase your Skills

Rather than explaining your skills and capabilities, it is better to show them in real. You can either develop a new app or focus on improving your college project if that is good enough. You can keep your project updated when you advance with your skill set and experience. The point here is to show than to tell; giving a reason for the interviewer to feel convinced is your own responsibility.

7. Data Persistence

Every application needs to store data either as a cloud file, template files, temporary cache, etc. Since mobile platforms are resource constrained, it requires more care while choosing the right strategy. During an interview, be confident to talk about the alternate persistence strategies and also how you can combine different storage options. Having a deep knowledge of hard technical details can be more important than just knowing the theoretical generalities.

8. Knowledge on tools

It’s quite certain that bugs might occur while app development. Your speed in determining where and what went wrong can portray that how good you are as a developer.

You might be asked to debug a problem within a sample app during an interview. So, be sure that you are familiar with the common templates for detecting such vulnerabilities.

9. Know what you’re doing

A vague idea and understanding of technical concepts cannot get you much farther in an interview. If you don’t know something, don’t be afraid to say so. Know the purpose behind every code and functions during development and how it contributes to solve problems.

Overall, maintain a good attitude, no matter what happens at the end. Take every chance as a learning experience to sharpen your interview skills for the next time. Good luck!

Please feel free to share any more ideas you might have.

When you are presented with almost endless options for mobile app developers, choosing the right one can be a tricky challenge. When entering relevant keywords, Google shows you considerable names and web directories with the details of popular app development agencies. However, they all have different levels of experience, each having unique understanding of app development process.

Your app will either be a hit in the market or it could be something that users may un-install quickly. This is why it is important to do research before you entrust someone else with your business reputation. You can pick the top development companies if you have a basic understanding of the process and eye for research.

To help you more, here is vital insight and questions you can ask to choose the right app development partner:

1) Client References

Isn’t this what you should practically make a top-priority criterion when looking for a perfect app project partner? Exploring company’s portfolio is no doubt the foremost factor that almost decides whether or not to consider the agency for your business app. This is also the best work evaluation technique today. You really want to know more about the brands they have served, challenges they have surpassed, technologies they used and how good they did it all in past.

Client references of their portfolio will give your thoughts of selection a little more push you need to discriminate between the mediocre and the superior.

2) Specialized Consultation

Mobile app development is more than just UX, features and testing. A qualified app development agency must be able to offer consultation on how to market, enrich and publish the app. Strategic consultation is key to making your business competitive and viable. Before selecting the right development partner, check if they have a resilient mobile app development strategy. This will ensure everything is synchronized and they work in clear directions, with clear expectations.

3) Expect Innovative Features and Outstanding Quality

The market is saturated with big numbers of mobile app development companies. It is tough for you to pick from the thousands of iPhone app builders and Android app developers. But you can reduce the number on your list by inquiring about their history of innovations in past, quality of their apps and remarkable features they have developed for their clients. Always expect the best since there is a lot going on in the world of technology, and possibilities are infinite.

4) The Right Approach

In general sense of mobile app development industry, app makers should have knowledge enough to build apps that delight users and fans. App making agencies believe in their own set of principles and methods. Having right mobile app development approach means flexibility, agility and best results. But this is possible only when there are highly experienced peers on their team.

With that said, app developer’s approach should be client-focused. They must understand that each project has its own requirements in terms of process, tools, software, testing and skills. Hence, choose the one who has worked on special projects where team efforts are huge and technical challenges are efficiently met.

Questions to ask:

1. Have you worked for the relevant business/industry?

It always gives you an extra edge in the app development process if you can hire someone who has already tried their hands making the same app as the one in your mind. Ask them if they have built similar apps before. If they have experience, it means they know how to resolve common problems down the path.

This also means that they can start better and work faster than other agency who has still no product to show in that category. Such companies understand your business keenly and can give you competitive results.

2. Where can I download your app?

If it is about your business reputation, you should want to dig deep enough. If you are unable to catch more from their public portfolio, ask them to share with you links to download their apps so that you can scrutinize it yourself.

Once you have an access to their app copies, try fiddling with it on different devices and get the look and feel of the product yourself. Ask them what more they could have done with the existing app and if they can rebuild such apps with even more enhanced features and UX for you.

3. Do you develop cross-platform apps?

Set clear goals and expectations from the very beginning about cross-platform app development. Do you want them to make apps for both iOS and Android? If your app is to function for both OS systems, you can ask them if they can build apps using generic coding that can be used for both OS. Your audience could be the wide demographics that want to access the same app from different devices, which requires cross-platform apps. Talk to your mobile app firm in detail about devices preferences and cross-platform development abilities.

 4. What is your idea about app monetization for my app?

You are not making an app just for amusement. Hence, app monetization strategy should be a part of your conversation with app development companies. Ask them what chances your app has to make money via online ad. Will your app keep users coming back to it more often? How to optimize it for that intent? Get clear answers to your curiosity about making money with your app. An experienced app developer must have a few confident responses for you.

5. Do you offer all-round app development services?

Some app development studios limit their services to design elements (UI and UX) whereas others exclude post-deployment maintenance as additional add-on. Even back-end is often comes with extra consideration with some development companies. Also app store submission, ASO (app store optimization) and app marketing are seen as separate chunks off the app development cycle. If you want to get it all done from one agency, make sure you hire someone who is expert in all-round app development capabilities.

6. What kind of communication you prefer during the process?

Also Read: How Much Does it Cost to Outsource App Development?

Communication, as with any business partnership, is the key to ensuring the smooth development process. It establishes clarity and helps keep the client updated about smallest of changes. Make client communication as often – or even daily – as possible via methods you are most comfortable with. You can use Skype, email or intranet methods to keep things transparent and dynamic.

7. How much will the app development cost?

This is the most commonly asked question in app development partnerships. Price is important, but in the market flooded with app developers, you will always manage to find many who claim to build the app in less. However, cost depends on the type of your app and its scope.

If it is for your business, cost should not be a deciding factor. Reduction in cost may make you compromise on quality, app security, coding perfection and even skills and expertise of developers. They won’t do good things in cheap prices. So don’t let the price be the driver of your decision.

Final thoughts

Once you select an app development partner, there is no going back. It is therefore necessary to be serious about choosing the right app development company. Make your selection process as rigorous as you can by considering all the expectations from your future partner. Your app represents the business and engages customers, thereby bringing more profit. An app designed well can truly make huge difference. Hopefully this guide helps you choose the trusted app development company.

Ever noticed how there is always one person more boisterous than everyone else at the office outing? His throat has gone hoarse from shouting and singing all day long, but he doesn’t care. His energy is infectious, so you can’t help but feel encouraged to sing songs that have nothing to do with their original lyrics.

Because, this is somehow more fun.

Now, reconcile to the fact that this guy is your team lead. Stumped?? Well, Chinar Bhandari seems adept at juggling these personas with ease. As for the spectators, it just takes some getting used to.

An alumnus of AISSMS College of Engineering, Chinar has been born and brought up in a diversely well-educated family in Pune. He has a Masters in Computer Engineering and a total industry experience spanning 5.8 years, out of which he has been with CloudXperte for a commendable 3.6 years.

When asked about the difference between working at CloudXperte and elsewhere, Chinar is prompt with his answer.

“Challenging Projects”, he states.

“Before CloudXperte, when working as a fresher, I mostly worked on POC. Simplistic as it sounds, this strengthened my base and understanding of processes. My first project at CloudXperte was Aquasound, an IoT based App for a Home Audio system. I had no experience in hardwired projects, but I did this well.

Then, I went on to do several projects, memorable among them being Kids Express, Mediquick, and most importantly, GoClub, my first project as Lead. GoClub was a vast and complicated project. It involved multiple platforms like iOS, Android and a website too.

We had multiple teams in different physical locations, which required extensive collaboration and co-ordination. To add to this complexity, we had a time constraint. But, we successfully delivered the project in 6 weeks.”

Of course, it helps that he shares an easy rapport with the rest of the team leads. Their comfort with each other perhaps finds its roots in their shared passion for technology.

At CloudXperte, Chinar feels at home.

“In fact, when I come to office it is like going from one home to another. I love the work culture here. It is cool and laidback. The management is great. It doesn’t interfere with the developers or their process. It allows you the freedom to explore and be yourselves. And that freedom is so important when you work. Oh, and the events we hold at office. Quite enjoy those.” He says with a slight smile, “Though there has been a slight slump in that recently.”

So what is his process for development?

“I try to thoroughly understand the requirement first, as well as the product, while making a note of all the challenges involved, the research required, the probable time frames and several other aspects. Then I divide the project into modules. And for every module, I prepare a POC. Then I take it on phase by phase. And test all phases individually.” Sounds simple, but this takes a lot of discipline. And it certainly shows in the final output.

Being a team lead also means getting all team members to be on the same page, despite the weaknesses and strengths of each one of them. This takes more than leading from the front. It involves exploring new trends in technology and constantly updating one’s knowledge, while also teaching and training the team whenever possible or required.

Certainly, not a tall order for Chinar, who enjoys both learning and teaching equally. This is evident in his clarity of thought and process during project discussions with his team or other team leads. ”I believe in sportsmanship as I have been into sports since my schooling days. I have represented Maharashtra in handball”, Chinar reveals.

Possibly, it is this sportsmanship that helps him get through the toughest of professional situations through grit and teamwork; that and a never-give-up attitude. Robert the Bruce would have found a better teacher in Chinar than the famed spider.

And is he all Mr. Nice Guy?

“I get angry very quickly at times, if something is not happening as per my plan. I am a bit lazy as well”, he admits. Though there is neither a trace of anger nor laziness when its crunch time. Deadlines are followed strictly to deliver efficient and uncompromised builds. “I am currently working on two projects – Shride, an electric bike rental app and an entertainment app”, Chinar informs.

On being quizzed about the future of Mobile App development, Chinar says in a matter-of fact manner, “Nowadays, if there is an idea, it becomes an App. Whether it ever goes on to become a website or not, is another matter. But first and foremost, there will be an app”. Now this is someone who knows the pulse of the market. “Besides, considering the ever increasing number of mobile users, Apps seem unlikely to go out of fashion in near future”, Chinar signs off.

“My interview?” The surprise in the question is quickly replaced by a pragmatic shrug and out come tumbling the life and times of Shashikant with disarming honesty.

Hailing from Nanded in Marathwada, Shashikant first worked as a Telecom Engineer for a few months before switching to Mobile Application Development. For someone who loves to play strategy video games, this was only a logical outcome.

He seems to be enjoying his stint at CloudXperte since last year.

“The work culture here is far superior to any other place. The team is very supportive, they constantly push you to do better. There is a sense of healthy competition. Also, I feel a sense of ownership when I work on a project. If you know you are trusted, both ownership and initiative come naturally”. 

Shashikant firmly believes that whatever happens, happens for good. So even a few ups and downs in a project wouldn’t be considered setbacks, but rather as opportunities to create something better.

Besides, one cannot control everything in life. So, one must do one’s best and leave the rest to fate. Could things go wrong if you have done it right? Mostly not.

Shashikant says that he though he has his set of likes and dislikes, he is not finicky about it. Makes for an easier life.  He loves to spend his free time watching all sorts of fantasy/mindbender movies and series like the Harry Potter series, The Mentalist, The Witcher etc.

This brings us to an important question. How does his mind work?

What is his process like, especially when it comes to a project?

“I thoroughly study the documentation related to that project. Then each one in our team thinks individually; after which, we brainstorm together. Ideas are tossed around and weighed for their consequences before being finalized. Usually, doing a new project also means you can learn something new. Not just with a technology, but also with managing a project”.

Shashikant is currently working on Shride – an electric bike rental app.

When asked what advice he would like to pass on to budding developers, the maturity of his answer belied his experience of only 3 years.

“We all need to understand and learn the fundamentals first. Strengthen your fundamentals first, then build your skills on it. Look around and prefer a technology. Then be loyal to that technology. It is difficult to excel at anything, unless one shows loyalty”.

Perhaps, this sagacity also reflects in his understanding of the future. “Mobile app development is a fast-paced, ever changing field. What was incredible yesterday, is possible today.

As you can see, the Swift 5+ version which we use for iOS app development is also available on various platforms like Windows, Linux etc. And we can use Swift on the server side as well as for Machine Learning too. Since technologies can adapt and grow, we should too.”

Maybe that is why it is never enough for them to just have the sufficient backend functionalities.

Key Aspects of UI design

  • Good utilization of a unified color strategy
  • Quick loading and responsive
  • Activity indicators
  • Basic tips

It is essential for app developers to understand how UI directly affects UX (User experience) as it is one of the factors that will decide how successful your app is. Poor UI can result in poor accessibility and further uninstallation of the app as it wouldn’t encourage your users to spend more time with your app.
