In recent years, the technology of small programs has been brought by WeChat and its ecological applications in full swing. In the world of developers, the technology of small programs has attracted great attention, especially in the aspects of traffic acceptance and cross-end development, which have attracted the attention and active practice of enterprises of different sizes. .
In 2023, small programs are still very popular, but there are some differences.
Affected by the subtle changes in the relationship between countries, there will be some different voices in the technology world in 2022. First of all, the protection of Chinese people’s data privacy has once again risen to a new level, and the domestic operating system has changed from a Plus product to a necessity; In the self-owned business, the role of end consumer marketing and operation; finally, the simultaneous development of new technologies in various fields, such as edge computing, 5G network, VR/AR, seems to reveal the future technology 1+1 The multiplier effect (it's just that it hasn't shown up yet)...
According to statistics from public information, the number of mini-programs on the entire network will exceed 7 million in 2021, of which the number of WeChat mini-program developers will exceed 3 million, and the DAU of mini-programs will exceed 450 million; the average number of daily uses will increase by 32% year-on-year. Programs increased by 41%, and the mini program ecology has created a new room for growth. The app ecology is actually not weak: Public data in the second half of 2021 shows that there are still more than 2 million apps active on the platforms of the world's three major app publishers (Google Play, App Store, Amazon Store), which does not include domestic apps. The data of some large App distribution platforms. In addition, the number of app downloads is also growing year by year (from 178.1 billion in 2017 to 218 billion in 2020).
App development demand is still active.
Desktop applications, Apps, applets, IoT terminal devices... Faced with increasingly complex business terminal adaptation needs, the trend of using cross-terminal frameworks will only increase. This article has searched for cross-end development frameworks everywhere, and put them together for your reference. It is convenient for subsequent App or end-to-side development, and cross-end framework selection is required for certain reference.
What is a cross-end framework?
Before entering the formal inventory, let’s popularize the concept first: the cross-platform application development framework allows developers to use the same set of code, and code once to run on multiple end-side platforms (such as: applets, browsers, iOS, Andriod, MacOS, Linux, Kylin, UOS…). Its biggest role is to greatly reduce the development cycle of developers, and then achieve rapid delivery. Benefits of a cross-platform application development framework: One set of code applies to multiple devices, multiple platforms, multiple application stores, rapid prototyping, rapid development, and seamless product maintenance.

## Discussion
Think about it. I have worked in several companies since I graduated in 2013. I found that most programmers have a common problem, that is, colleagues who usually look very good or work harder than you, really want to change jobs and strive for more generous benefits. There are indeed many reasons for this, and there may be many reasons for this:
- 1. Lack of depth of knowledge : You may know how this thing is used, but what is the underlying logic of this thing? Only by understanding the underlying implementation logic of the technology can you use it better, and when there is a problem, you can find the problem through the source code in time. Moreover, the general interview of a big factory is to test your in-depth knowledge. He will repeatedly ponder a new question on a question. If you have not studied it carefully at this time, you may pass it.
- 2. There is no complete knowledge system : A complete knowledge system is the basic quality of a senior programmer. Only with a comprehensive understanding of the knowledge system, instead of only looking at a part when looking at a problem, the most intuitive thing is performance For optimization, you need to go deep into the native layer to see the problem. At this time, you need to have a broader knowledge system.
In 2022, the Android market is no longer what it was ten years ago, as long as you can write a demo, you can get an offer at will. With the influx of mobile developers over the past few years, many people have become anxious, are they about to lose their jobs? Those outside the circle are also wondering whether to enter or not, and they are all entangled like this.
In fact, I often think about this question, but if you often look at the recruitment needs, you will find that it is not that the market is saturated, but that the demand for talents from recruiters is getting higher and higher. On the one hand, developers cannot find good candidates. On the one hand, recruiters are struggling to find the talents they need. The future must be the world of high-level talents, but if you want to advance to high-level, you need to have a complete knowledge system.
The so-called advanced means not only the need to master the current technologies that are valued and commonly used by major companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, and ByteDance at the technical level, but also the underlying principles. I will organize the knowledge points based on these below.
The above is a knowledge architecture diagram of the development direction of Android programmers that I compiled for you. I hope that everyone can complete the construction of such a system in 3-4 months according to this system. It can be said that this process will make you miserable, but as long as you get through it. Later life will be much easier. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as you take the first step, you have already succeeded in half, and when you look back on this journey after completion, you will definitely feel a lot of emotion.
Finally: The complete [Android Development] video learning tutorial below has been sorted out and uploaded, and friends can get it for free if they need it [Guaranteed 100% free]
