Course Title:

Mastering Mobile App Development: Learn Everything You Need To Say "I Develop Mobile Apps"

Training Format:

Self-paced online video training

Instructor:

Developer Advocate Ian Barker for course videos

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of Delphi and basic mobile development

Course Description:

The course is delivered in two sections. Enrollees have immediate access to Section One. They will get automatic access to Section Two as soon as it is published.

Section One covers an overview of mobile development, gets the student's machine ready for creating mobile apps, and takes them through some foundational knowledge about data handling along with deploying simple apps to their mobile devices in preparation for section two.

Section Two is very "hands-on" and takes enrollees through practical steps to design good-looking user interfaces, techniques to make them scale properly, dealing with mobile sensors, debugging apps, rounding off with deployment to app stores and a discussion on ways to effectively monetize apps.

Note that due to the fast-moving dynamic nature of mobile application development and devices the exact course contents are subject to change.
