Transmitting Network Data Using Volley Dependencies and prerequisites Android 2.2 (API Level 8) or higher Video Volley: Easy, Fast Networking for Android Mastering the Ionic Framework: Learn to Build & Deploy Native Speed HTML5 Based Apps Web development technologies have evolved at an incredible clip over the past few years. We've gone from rudimentary DOM manipulation with libraries like jQuery to supercharged web applications organized & powered by elegant MV* based frameworks like AngularJS. Pair this with significant increases in browser rendering speeds, and it is now easier than ever before to build production quality applications on top of Javascript, HTML5, and CSS3. While these advances have been incredible, they are only just starting to affect the clear platform of the future: mobile. For years, mobile rendering speeds were atrocious, and the MVC frameworks & UI libraries provided by iOS and Android were far superior to writing mobile apps using web technologies. There were also some very public failures -- Facebook famously wrote their first iOS app in 2011 using HTML5 but ended up scrapping it due to terrible performance.
