I'm looking at making mobile phone applications, which track to start with?

There's iOS, Android & Java

I know Android uses Java but which track should I start first?

For iOS applications, I'd start with iOS Development with Swift 2.0. There is also an Android Development Track if you are wanting to develop for Android.

Heya! If you're looking at Android Development, I'd recommend taking a look at the first three stages of our Java track (through Data Structures), then hopping over to the Android Development track. The Java courses should help develop a fundamental base which will aid in learning Android. Best of luck!
