Mobile apps are developed for a specific platform.

iOS is used for iPhones and iPads and relies on Objective-C coding language and Cocoa framework, as well Xcode, the IDE (the integrated development environment)

Android Developers Training,



HTML, short for Hyper Text Markup Language, is a special code for ‘marking up’ text in order to turn it into a web page. Every web page on the net is written in HTML, and it will form the backbone of any web application.

CSS, short for Cascading Style Sheets, is a code for setting style rules for the appearance of web pages. CSS handles the cosmetic side of the web.

JavaScript is a scripting language that’s widely used to add functionality and interactivity to web pages.



If you want to do Web Development,
here is what you need to know:

front-end development
also called client-side development)

constructs what a user sees when they load a web application – the content, design and how you interact with it.

Front-end development uses 3 codes – HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

back-end development
(also called server-side development)

controls what goes on behind the scenes of a web application. A back-end often uses a database to generate the front-end.

Back-end scripts are written in many different coding languages and frameworks including PHP, Ruby, ASP.NET, PERL, JAVA, NODE.js, PYTHON, and more
