iOS, Android, and React Native Development Bootcamp (Intermediate to Advanced Level)

• Solid understanding of programming concepts, particularly in Swift, Kotlin, and JavaScript
• Prior experience building basic iOS, Android, or React Native apps
• Knowledge of design patterns like MVC or MVVM and experience with basic state management

Audience

• Mobile developers
• Programmers

iOS development focuses on building apps specifically for Apple devices (iPhones and iPads) using Swift/Objective-C and Xcode, Android development involves building apps for Android devices using Kotlin/Java and Android Studio, and React Native development is a cross-platform framework that allows building apps for both iOS and Android using JavaScript, with shared codebases, leveraging the React library for UI development.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at advanced-level developers who wish to learn advanced programming techniques in Swift, Kotlin, and JavaScript, implement scalable architectures, and create feature-rich apps with secure API integration, real-time communication, and advanced UI/UX.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Master Advanced Programming Techniques in Swift, Kotlin, and JavaScript, including closures, coroutines, and async/await.
• Design Scalable Mobile App Architectures using MVVM for iOS/Android and advanced state management in React Native.
• Build Feature-Rich Mobile Apps with secure API integration, real-time communication, and advanced data handling (Core Data, SQLite, Room, Firebase).
• Integrate Native Device Features such as camera, geolocation, and sensors, and create custom native modules in React Native.
• Create Advanced UI/UX with Animations and reusable components for responsive, highly interactive mobile experiences.
• Test, Debug, and Optimize Apps for performance and reliability using Xcode, Android Profiler, and React Native Debugger.
• Deploy Apps Using CI/CD Pipelines for continuous integration and automated releases to the App Store and Google Play.
• Complete a Capstone Project, developing and deploying a production-ready app to app stores.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
