Prediction of Cross-Platform and Native Apps Technology Opportunities for Beginner Developers Using C 4.5 and Naive Bayes Algorithms

Abstract

The competition between native and cross-platform app development makes application development simpler, safer, and more scalable. However, developers must have sufficient fundamentals, and the industry must conduct good research to shorten development time and minimize expenses. In order to solve these problems, this study made a prediction that discusses the technology that has a chance to survive in the industry so as not to be left behind in technology. Using Naïve Bayes and C 4.5 algorithms into a dataset with nine programming languages related to mobile app development. Results obtained in This research show Dart as a programming language that supports cross-platform frameworks and Kotlin as a programming language that supports native app frameworks is a technology that would have the opportunity in the future with an accuracy level above 90% with Naïve Bayes and C 4.5 algorithms. These results are obtained by testing an algorithm model using MAPE, consistent dataset sharing, and careful data processing. This research Can help entry-level developers learn and deepen the fundamentals of technology and can add knowledge to the industry in choosing a technology.
