Hi Group, I'm interested in experimenting with mobile app development for either apple products or android products. What's a good place to get started? I'm looking for information that might allow me to get started, create a simple hello world app, all within a day or two time. Any advice? Thanks.
First learn programming. Unlike web development, where anyone can paste some junk and have a web page, if you don't know computer programming, the best you'll do is produce a mobile app that won't run. (You could also create one that could damage the hardware of the phone.) Start with Algorithms + Data Structures.pdf Then (which will be a couple of months down the line) learn Java for Android apps. If you want to write iApps, the first step is buying a Mac. You can not, at this time, create iApps on a Windows or Linux computer. Then learn Objective C. Oh, and you'll probably be using SQL in a lot of the apps you develop. That's another language you have to learn. BTW, typical development time for a mobile app that makes the developer any decent money is about 3-4 months. And that's not counting learning programming (if you aren't already a programmer) and learning the language you're going to program in.
