What are the types of mobile apps and why should I learn mobile app development?

Mobile apps are software programs that run on mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. There are three basic types of mobile apps: native apps, web apps, and hybrid apps. Native apps run on specific platforms or operating systems and use languages like Java, Kotlin, Python, Swift, Objective-C, C++, and React. A popular native app example is WhatsApp. Facebook and Twitter are two other well-known native app examples. Web apps are responsive versions of websites displayed on mobile browsers, and are device and OS-independent. Web apps use languages like HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, and other languages used for web development. Forbes, Pinterest, and Tinder are all web apps. Hybrid apps are combinations of both native and web apps, delivered in the form of a native app. Hybrid apps can have customized icons and be downloaded from app stores. Hybrid app development uses Java, Objective C, Swift, HTML5, in combination with frameworks like ReactNative, Flutter, Xamarin, and Ionic. The most popular hybrid app examples include Instagram, Gmail, and Uber. Depending on your interests and intended career path, your learning path might look different. With people spending up to 90% of their mobile screen time on apps, you’ll have a rewarding and exciting career whichever route you choose.


Why should I practice mobile app by building projects?

Project-based learning is a method of learning where you learn a skill through working on a project. This type of learning allows you to learn not only the theory, but also how to apply those skills. By building a mobile app project, you'll practice the high-level logic of your code and project, and see how each individual line can impact your application. You will also gain problem-solving skills and how to fix it. With so many mobile app projects available, finding an idea that interests you will make the learning process more fun and sustainable. When you finish building a project, you will have learned and practiced mobile app techniques, gained problem solving skills, learned how to ask questions, and have a finished project to show off.


How do I know which mobile app projects are best for learning mobile app?

The best way to learn mobile app is to practice mobile app by building as many projects as possible. There are three factors you should consider when picking the right mobile app project: your skill level, goals, and interest. You want to have a good idea of your skill level and choose mobile app practice projects that are not too easy or too hard for you. If you work on mobile app projects that are too easy, you won’t progress in your coding abilities. However, if you choose projects that are too difficult, you may get stuck, never finish the project, and feel discouraged. Therefore, you want to choose mobile app projects that are just a little bit above your current skill level. Now, you also want to build mobile app projects that not only allows you to practice mobile app, but also lets you show off your skills on your portfolio. So think about the types of mobile app projects you want to put on your portfolio and jobs you’re interested in as a developer. Think about what your long-term goals are and pick mobile app projects that align with them. Lastly, you definitely want to choose mobile app projects that you’re actually interested in and feel connected to. Learning by building mobile app projects you’re interested in will help you stay motivated. You’ll also be more likely to want to go above and beyond to make your mobile app project stand out in the crowd.

By learning mobile app through building projects, you will be able to overcome both hurdles. When you’re learning mobile app, you may not know how to apply mobile app theories in the real world.

These mobile app projects for beginners can also help you build up your portfolio early on. Each mobile app project you finish can be incorporated into your portfolio to demonstrate your new skills. Another issue that often comes up for beginners is losing motivation. However, when it comes to projects, you can pick a beginner mobile app project that you’re interested in. Not only will you be more motivated when you work on something interesting, you’ll also want to continue to improve the project. As your mobile app project comes together, the sense of accomplishment will give you the momentum to keep going, even when things get hard.
