Hi! I'm Amit Bijlani. 0:00 >>And I am Ben Jakuben. 0:02 If you're not sure whether to become an iPhone or Android developer, 0:04 this learning adventure is for you. 0:07 Learn all the basics of both the platforms 0:10 and then decide which you're comfortable with. 0:13 >>Ideally as a mobile developer, you should be cross-disciplinary, 0:15 but it's okay if you want to focus on one or the other. 0:19 Now, we assume you have little or no programming experience, 0:22 so we start with an introduction to programming. 0:25 Next, we dive straight into iPhone development 0:27 with Build a Simple iPhone App Project 0:30 where you will build a fun Crystal Ball application 0:33 while learning the development tool Xcode 0:36 and programming language Objective-C. 0:38 You will also learn how to launch your app to the Appstore. 0:41 We then take our basic app development knowledge 0:45 and advance it further with Build a Blog Reader iPhone app 0:48 where you will learn the basic design pattern known as Model View Controller, 0:53 learn to download data from the web 0:57 and display a webpage inside your app. 0:59 >>Then you will build the same apps on the Android platform 1:02 to round out your knowledge of all things mobile. 1:05 You will see how the concepts of mobile development are similar on both platforms 1:07 and you will learn the tools and languages of each. 1:11 For the Android apps, you will see how to use the development tool 1:13 known as Eclipse and the basics of the Java programming language. 1:16 You will also learn how to publish your app on Google Play 1:19 and the Amazon Appstore. 1:22 By the end, you should know the basics of both platforms 1:24 and can continue learning on one or the other. 1:28 >>Or hopefully both. 1:31
