  • Learn to code | Codecademy is a good place to start learning to code. And it's free. I believe the intro course teaches Javascript.

    My experience... the easiest way to program mobile apps are http://coronasdk.com/ and Appcelerator Inc | Titanium Mobile Development Platform which allow you to program cross-platform (iOS and Android.)

    Programming for Windows, Blackberry and Nokia? Not really sure how to develop for these 3 platforms.

    • I really appreciate you taking your time to respond to the thread. Right away i am exploring the resources.
  • Also check the book called: Code Complete
  • Hello, theres really no reason to start learning code from scratch. We are launching a series of app building websites that will allow you to create 100's of different kinds of apps, for all platforms, without being a programmer. Youll be able to build unlimited numbers of apps, for yourself, to sell, to give away, whatever you want. It will be ridiculously easy!! Pm me and I will give you more info.
  • Developing mobile apps has nothing to do with Web development, You can just start learning mobile develompent without any experience in programming .
    Android uses Java as programming language . For more information visit developer.android.com
    iPhone uses Objective C, and has a SDK for It . Use google for more details
  • Web development is completely different from Mobile development . Visit developer.android.com to learn android programming

  • Many languages can be used to develop those mobile apps that you mentioned.
  • Learn to do some basic programming first, despite what anyone tells you you will need to know basic principles before you start.

    Then focus on the language required for the platform you want to develop for. iOS prefers Objective-C but allows C/C++. I think there is also a way to use C#. Perhaps even Java.

    Android? Not sure, but it would definitely support C/C++.

    Windows Mobile would allow C/C++ and C# for Windows 8 Phone.

    The others, probably at least C/C++.

    C and C++ are really the core languages used for software development since the 1970's.

  • You must have a basic knowledge about web app development for mobile application such as HTML, C and C++. HTML 5 supports building mobile application as well as a web application. You can easily develop a web application in HTML 5 but for mobile application you have to use a fluid layout and this provides every mobile application development option.
