A newb getting into mobile developing

[alizaidi2000]

Hello, my friends and i would like to get into Developing mobile apps. However, we are complete newbs in terms of programming. the most i know is how to code an arduino and an awful amount of html. 

 

Where shall we start to learn about Mobile Developing? What language should we learn?

Have you ever used scratch.mit.edu?

 

If so, they also make a more advanced version for developing android apps.

It's called 'appinventor'.

Drag and drop block based.

 

Easy to learn

AI is pretty nice and people have made some very nice apps and i agree it is a good place to start for quick results but it's got nothing on building native applications.

Yeah, well he said ' we are complete newbs in terms of programming '.

Drag and drop blocks are always the place to start for noobs

Also a good way to get stuck as the jump from drag and drop to coding is a big one.

Well my high school class transitioned very easily from appinventor to python

Yeah, i tried scratch before, i guess i might be more advanced than the drag and drop method of learning, because i did use scratch before.

If you want to make a good mobile apps and in future work as a mobile app developer then you will have to learn the mobile platforms - for Android and/or iOS. So things like Java, C, Objective-C and more will come to play. Also you will have to learn their SDKs and tools. It's harder than making dynamic web applications

Python won't let you develop mobile applications though OOP that you can learn from python would be helpful.

With how microsoft is pushing c# for cross platform development I would that c# would be a better option. Right now you can make desktop apps, universal apps (PC, windows mobile and xbox), android/ios and websites all in c#

Universal apps are cool, can't say how good is that Xamarin/Microsoft solutions. Python "has" some options like Kivy or PyQt5 cross compilation but IMHO those aren't serious options yet (if they will ever be). Qt and QtQuick may be an option too.
