Why take this course?

If you've ever wanted to actually build the mobile app ideas floating around in your head but didn't know where to start, this is the course for you. This course is meant to get you started developing mobile apps even if you've never written a line of code.

You'll start by building fully functional apps without writing code. You'll then move to fully learn both Android and iOS development along with the Java and Swift programming languages.

Going beyond just app development, you'll also learn mobile UI/UX design and how to mock up your app ideas using Sketch 3.

Finally you'll learn how to leverage the power of PhoneGap, which lets you write your app once and convert it to other platforms for publishing.

Getting Started with App Development

You'll start by learning app development without writing code at all using Android App Inventor. Here you'll learn basic programming terminology and concepts by building functioning mobile apps that you can actually publish to the market.

By removing the coding aspect from app development, you'll be able to truly understand what you're doing before diving into the more complex world of writing code.

This is what sets our course apart from all the others you'll see on Udemy.

Android App Development

First you'll learn the basics of Java, which is essential for Android Development. Then you'll be ready to learn Android app development,

Apple (iOS) App Development

Start by learning the new Swift programming language. Swift is the language iOS developers will be using to develop apps moving forward. Next you'll learn basic iOS app development using Xcode before moving on to intermediate and advanced topics that will allow you to publish apps to the app store, add in-app purchasing and much more.

App Design and UI/UX Design

Apps that don't look great or don't function well for the user will be deleted faster than they were downloaded. In the following sections you'll learn everything you need to know about user interface design and user experience design so you can develop apps that people will actually want to use.

You'll also learn how to mock up your app designs using the popular Sketch 3 mobile mockup software.

PhoneGap

PhoneGap is a technology that allows you to write your app using one programming language and SDK, then convert it to other platforms for publishing. So if you prefer to make your app using Java and the Android SDK, you'll be able to publish your apps to the Apple App Store and the Windows App Store without having to write new apps for each platform. Neat!

Everything has been clearly explained and it is very easy to understand. App development isn't hard and it's fun too!

Thomas is friendly, is patient but he does talk a little too fast and I've had to rewind the videos several times. But I do enjoy his teaching and think he's an excellent instructor.

Very extensive. Lot's of topics. Sometime even bit tiring to go though. But if you want to have big picture (and same time close view) of mobile develoment, this is it.

For first two days it went great and I was very pleased. I've had multiple problems since then and no-one has responded to my questions for over 2 days except udemy.com rep who said I need to contact the instructor or instructor's company. I have limited time my company has given me to take this course so timely responses are very important to me in this case. I left several questions for course instructor but no response for over two days. 1. I couldn't find any mention of course material (download files) and was getting frustrated until I accidentally discovered them when going back into course overview. 2. MIT App Inventor 2 course instructor mentioned multiple times they would be doing 10 apps and they only did 5. On the good side, what he did present was very well done. 3. Android Studio section of course had lots of information but it assumed you already new Android Studio and no introductory information, he just dived and everything he did worked but just seemed like magic, there was no build-up to knowing why he was selecting widgets, procedures, etc. I was able to follow along and get it done but it was much harder than it should have been for an introductory course, but the end result was good, but I don't think I could replicate it myself even after doing it because I didn't learn "WHY". If it was done in the same style as the MIT App Inventor section it would be awesome. 4. The Android Studio course files seem to be corrupted, I could never get the ZIP files to uncompress correctly. I hacked around it by finding and adding my own icons. 5. I'm just starting on the SWIFT part of the course and already multiple sections of video seem to be missing. He starts in for several minutes to show something and then the video ends and then the next video says "OK, now that you know that....". Overall this could be a very good course if these issues were resolved. If these issues are resolved I would probably rate this course much higher.

Starts off very clear - easy to follow - first instructor was very good - however, all the other instructors poorly explained the topic, cannot follow the classes.
