Hi! I'm Amit Bijlani.

>>And I am Ben Jakuben.
-
0:04
If you're not sure whether to become an iPhone or Android developer,
-
0:07
this learning adventure is for you.
-
0:10
Learn all the basics of both the platforms
-
0:13
and then decide which you're comfortable with.
-
0:15
>>Ideally as a mobile developer, you should be cross-disciplinary,
-
0:19
but it's okay if you want to focus on one or the other.
-
0:22
Now, we assume you have little or no programming experience,
-
0:25
so we start with an introduction to programming.
-
0:27
Next, we dive straight into iPhone development
-
0:30
with Build a Simple iPhone App Project
-
0:33
where you will build a fun Crystal Ball application
-
0:36
while learning the development tool Xcode
-
0:38
and programming language Objective-C.
-
0:41
You will also learn how to launch your app to the Appstore.
-
0:45
We then take our basic app development knowledge
-
0:48
and advance it further with Build a Blog Reader iPhone app
-
0:53
where you will learn the basic design pattern known as Model View Controller,
-
0:57
learn to download data from the web
-
0:59
and display a webpage inside your app.
-
1:02
>>Then you will build the same apps on the Android platform
-
1:05
to round out your knowledge of all things mobile.
-
1:07
You will see how the concepts of mobile development are similar on both platforms
-
1:11
and you will learn the tools and languages of each.
-
1:13
For the Android apps, you will see how to use the development tool
-
1:16
known as Eclipse and the basics of the Java programming language.
-
1:19
You will also learn how to publish your app on Google Play
-
1:22
and the Amazon Appstore.
-
1:24
By the end, you should know the basics of both platforms
-
1:28
and can continue learning on one or the other.
-
1:31
>>Or hopefully both.
