Overview


Mobile App Development for iOS and Android provides instruction in the basic skills to develop both Android and iPhone/iPad apps. It covers app creation through publication on both platforms using a series of tutorials that provide hands-on, step-by-step instruction. The authors of this textbook believe the only way to learn a technology is to use it. Accordingly, the book is structured as a practical guide for the mastery of concepts leading to essential industry skills.
