I am interested in developing mobile apps and games like whatsapp and angry birds. What are the programming languages and IDEs that I should learn to develop such apps. Is there any online tutorial or samples for learning to develop apps? What can be the best way to start app development
Hello,
Mobile platform is completely different than PC and also a little bit tough but if you’re determined, you can be a master in mobile apps. All you have to do is a little hard work.
The first question is, which platform you’re going to master? Android, Windows, iOS are the mostly used mobile OS to generate smartphones. Java is still in use but not so popular as these ones. Different operating system requires different language skill and IDEs that will build the perfect environment to make apps.
The most popular OS is Android, which is dependent on Java. So, if you wish to learn developing Android apps, you should master Java first. Also, here are the IDEs that will help you generate Android apps. Use Android Studio or Eclipse Android SDK. Learn how to develop Android apps.
iOS is being developed by Apple which is also a good one. There are pretty many users who are utilizing Apple’s iOS devices. This OS is being developed by Objective-C, an strange version of C++ in my opinion. You must have an Apple account and skill on Objective-C. Apple’s XCode is the IDE for developing apps on their platform.
Windows OS is not so popular as Android or iOS, but a good one. C# and XAML is required to develop apps for Windows, and Visual Studio is used as its IDE.
It’s your choice now which one to master, but I recommend to learn Android as it’s popular all over the world.
