Hello Experts,

I request your guidance to design a desktop application which could be easily migrated to mobile platforms later.

What should be the technology stack I should consider to design my desktop application.

I am basically a .NET programmer!

This is not a question that can be answered in a Quick Answers forum. Much will depende on the type of application, and the skills of the developer.

In general, abstract as much of business logic and data access as you can from UI. That way you can use same objects in your mobile version (but you'll have to create new UI of course). You should do this in all applications as it makes the expansion, maintanance and changes in general easier.

If you go with web app, you can do everything with responsive design, but it is no longer strictly desktop app. It is a web app that looks differently on mobiles, but behaves the same.

Check this article to get a head start. Instead of mobile platform in strict sense why don't you think of web app which can give you almost same flexibility!

Create One Application for both Desktop and Web[^]
