Cross-Platform refers to computer programs, such as the systems,
languages, and the software. Cross platform application allows it to be runned
on any common platform. Cross-Platform Connectivity is identically runned on
different platforms from either software
or hardware.
An example
would be
Windows
and
Macintosh. What allows the machines to communicate and share resources is the
TCP/IP protocol. In order for Windows-based PCs and Mac computers to be on
the same network the network should use TCP/IP protocol. If software is functioned
on more than one computer architecture or operating system it
could
be considered
as
a cross-platform.
