 What is App Development
<When we talk about App development then we know different >

1.Technologies
2.Projects
3.Resources

4
Why we choice Mobile App Development

1.App Developer
2.Internship / add in Resume
3.Field Explore
4.Freelancing
5.Course Completion

5
When we talk about App Development
We know that

A lot of changes are here

1. Time to time update

2. Framework changes / updates
3. Languages changes / updates

6
When we choice App Development
We have two options

When we want to create App

1- Native Apps Development

(demanding)

2- Cross Platform Apps Development

(also known as hybrid App Development)

7
1- Native Apps
Native applications, or native apps, are software applications specifically
developed for a particular platform or operating system (OS), such as iOS or
Android. These apps are built using platform-specific programming languages,
tools, and frameworks, and they are optimized to run seamlessly on the target
platform.

2- Cross-Platform Apps
Cross-platform apps are applications that are designed to run on multiple
operating systems (e.g., iOS, Android, and sometimes even desktop platforms
like Windows or macOS) using a single codebase.
One App for both (Android & IOS)

8
In Native
We have also more options

1. Android App Development

2. IOS App Development

9
Mobile App Development

Required System specifications / Laptop configuration

Android App Development

 8GB RAM
 16GB Hard (if affordable at least)

IOS App Development

 Apple Device
 MAC
 Mac Mini

Cross-Platform Apps 10
Native App Development

1. Android App Development

1.1 Java Language
1.2 Kotlin Language

2. IOS App Development

2.1 Swift Language

 Swift Language
(Primary language for iOS development i.e. iOS,
macOS, watchOS, and tvOS)
 Objective-C
(Legacy language still in use for Apple's iOS and OS X)
11
Cross Platform App Development
1. Flutter (Dart language use) is open-source UI
software development kit Made by Google /
recommended

2. React Native (JS & Type Script Base) is an open-

source UI software framework developed by Meta
Platforms
Made by Facebook / Recommended

12
Basics of Android Activity
 An Activity life Cycle
 Intent (object that is used to communicate
between different activities, services, and
components)
 Data passing with intent
 Advance of Android
 Features adds
 SQL Database
 API Call
 App Deployment
13
Back End Development

When we talk about Back-end Development we must learn these

languages

 NODE (learn JS) Node.js is a popular runtime environment for

JavaScript that allows developers to build scalable and efficient
backend systems.
 Flask (learn Python) is a lightweight Python web framework used for
building APIs and web applications. It is simple, flexible, and widely
used for back-end development.
 Spring (learn Java) is a Java framework used to build scalable, secure,
and production-ready web applications and REST APIs.

14
Back End Development

 DATABASEs
 Mongo DB is a NoSQL database that stores data in JSON-like
documents instead of tables (like SQL). It is flexible, scalable, and
great for modern web apps.
 SQL is a powerful language used to store, retrieve, manipulate, and
manage relational databases.
 Firebase is a Google-backed backend platform that provides real-time
database, authentication, cloud storage, hosting, and serverless
functions for web and mobile apps.
You can use for build your apps Make projects for more learn

 Introduction Android

 Android is an open-source operating system

based on Linux.
 Originally developed as an Advanced Operating
System for digital cameras.
 Primarily designed for mobile devices such as
smartphones and tablets.
 The Android platform has more than 4 million
apps that people can download and use. This
means there are a lot of choices for games, tools,
and other software for smartphones and tablets.
16
 Operating System

 An Operating System (OS) is a software program

that acts as an intermediary between computer
hardware and the user. It provides a user
interface and manages hardware resources,
allowing users to run applications and perform
tasks efficiently.

 Functions and characteristics of an Operating
System (OS)

 Resource Management
 User Interface
 File Management
 Process Management
 Security and Access Control
 Networking

19
 Examples of Operating Systems

 Windows: A widely used OS for personal

computers and business environments.
 macOS: Developed by Apple for its line of
computers.
 Linux: An open-source OS known for its flexibility
and use in servers and embedded systems.
 Android: A mobile operating system primarily
used in smartphones and tablets.
 iOS: Developed by Apple for iPhones and iPads.
