Mobile App Development
Create native and cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android devices using modern development frameworks.
About This Course
This comprehensive program teaches React Native framework for building cross-platform mobile applications that work on both iOS and Android devices. You'll learn mobile UI/UX principles, understanding the unique considerations of designing for smaller screens and touch interfaces.
The curriculum covers device API integration including camera access, geolocation services, and offline data synchronization. You'll understand app architecture patterns and state management with Redux, essential for building scalable mobile applications. Integration with backend services through REST APIs and real-time communication is also included.
Throughout the program, you'll develop portfolio projects including a fitness tracker application, location-based service app, and mobile commerce platform. These hands-on projects provide practical experience with the full development lifecycle from concept to deployment.
The course also covers app store submission processes for both Apple App Store and Google Play Store, monetization strategies, and user analytics implementation. This complete approach prepares you for professional mobile development roles or launching your own applications.
