I'm creating a website in PHP and mysql. I plan to create a native smartphone app for it in the future. The app will allow users to interact with my website's database and receive notification when new data is posted to their accounts. What should I implement in my website while anticipating a future mobile app for it?
I have been creating the same type of system for a few customers of mine. I have built them a website where there customers for example, make a hair cut appointment, that then sends a notification to the hair stylist notifying them of the new appointment information. Is this something similar to what you are looking for?
Also if so, i need to know what language you will be coding the phone app in. I suggest using Java if your going to be learning a new language to do this.
As for needing to implement anything prior to actually creating the mobile app. Thats not necessary.
