May 8	comment	Content Management Systems (CMS) layers @JoseDavidGarciaLlanos closing and downvoting aren't really flaming on SE. That's just how these sites works. Don't take offense. All that said, the question you are asking is about software development, so I would ask this question on one of the software-developer focused sites (Such as SO, or Programmers or CompSci)
May 8	comment	Content Management Systems (CMS) layers @JoseDavidGarciaLlanos flaming? Anyways, a CMS doesn't have a set number of 'layers'. It will depend on the particular CMS and how that particular CMS was built. The 3 layers you talk about are 'software architecture' layers. MVC is another architecture that uses layers. There are other options as well, and a CMS may use one of them, or none of them.
May 8	comment	Content Management Systems (CMS) layers What you are describing is 3-tier architecture: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… It's not specific to a CMS (nor would a CMS necessarily use it) and it's not really related to UX.
May 8	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners I'm not sure what specific part of that web site you are referring to, but that would be a an example of a specific feature in a specific app, where choosing a particular technology may very well be a make it or break it decision. But that can't be applied universally in a generic way to all apps. Sometimes it matters, sometimes it doesn't .
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners and to be clear, I fully understand the technical aspect you are arguing. Yes, faster code is faster. But there comes a point where the code is 'fast enough' in that anything faster isn't going to give the end user a better experience. My web browser scrolls pages just fine, so I can't see how faster scrolling code benefits me as the end-user.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners yes, like I said, technically it's objective. But if a user can't actually tell the difference in use, it's somewhat moot. As for knowledge base, you're coming at it from purely a code optimization point of view--which is just one factor in a big picture of overall UX.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps I don't understand what you mean by 'see scrolling'. Can you be specific? My web browser seems to scroll as fine as any native app I have.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners Technically it's objective. But in terms of UX it's purely subjective. Whether a human can tell the difference between a handful of microseconds is hardly a major factor in deciding a development platform or methodology (See: over-optimization)
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners are you arguing that a 'button press' interaction has a humanly noticeable performance difference between native and JS based? If so, that has never been my experience.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners agreed about being not unique (again, we're all using really muddy definitions). As for it being 'inferior' unless you have real data, I have to say that is merely your assumption. The UI is dependent on so many things.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners The native JS handling on iOS, for example, is incredibly robust--combined with CSS transformations, which are native hardware accelerated, and there really is no discernable difference in many cases.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps Also, what you are asking in that comment, at least to me, is different than asking about a 'web app'. Again, these terms can be confusing, but it sounds like you are asking about an HTML5+PhoneGap app (compiled to native) more so than an a true web app (an app living on a web server viewed through a UIView or browsers).
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @sirtimbly I think the answer to that is simply 'no'. My answer attempts to provide a theory as to why that is.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps As for 'laggy input' that is certainly an issue, but not necessarily a truism just because an app is a web app. Yes, there will be a lag between the client-server, but if there has to be a client-server relationship, you'd still have that issue with the native app.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners yep, that specific point is true, but in and of itself doesn't mean one type of app is any better/worse that the other. Now, if the particular app depends on native UI components, and access to said components available in each OS release, then yes, I'd say in that particular situation, a native app is the better UX.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps "the app could probably be built to run faster natively in almost the same time" there are lots of situations where that isn't true. Examples: if you are supporting many platforms; if frequent updates are necessary/expected; you have limitations on testing team resources, etc.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JustinMeiners it's like asking which is better: Java or HTML. In and of themselves, it doesn't matter, as they don't necessarily have a direct correlation to the UI/UX. As for 'inferior website' yes, if the site is always inferior, of course that'd be the poorer choice, but that's assuming the web site is inferior, which is hardly a universal truth (There are plenty of companies that have both web apps and native apps and I often prefer the web version). It all depends.

May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @you786 yes, another good point. It definitely shows how these terms are quite complex/confusing and don't necessarily have definitions that everyone agrees upon.
May 7	comment	Any Research on User Experience Perceptions of Native Apps vs Web or Hybrid Apps @JohnGB thanks, though I imagine it's still not 100% accurate. :)
