Unit 1: Fundamentals of App Development
Introduction to App Development
1. Definition: Designing and building software for devices.
2. Types of Apps:
Native, Web, Hybrid.
3. Popular Platforms:
Android (Java/Kotlin), iOS (Swift).
Tools and Environments
1. IDEs: Android Studio, Xcode.
2. Frameworks: Flutter, React Native.
3. Version Control: Git, GitHub for collaboration.
Unit 2: Design and User Experience (UX/UI)
UI vs UX
1. UI (User Interface): Visual aspects like colors, buttons, layout.
2. UX (User Experience): Focus on usability and navigation
Wireframing and Prototyping
1. Wireframe: Blueprint of the app.
Tools: Figma, Adobe XD.
2. Prototype: Interactive version of the wireframe.
Design Principles
1. Consistency in colors and fonts.
2. Simple navigation.
3. Responsive design for different devices.
, Unit 3: Programming Basics
Programming Languages
1. Android: Java or Kotlin.
2. iOS: Swift.
3. Cross-Platform: Dart (Flutter), JavaScript (React Native).
Core Concepts
1. Variables: Storing data.
2. Conditionals: Decision making (if-else).
3. Loops: Repeating actions.
4. Functions: Reusable code blocks.
Unit 4: App Development Process
Planning the App
1. Identify user problems.
2. Define features and purpose.
3. Create a wireframe.
Coding the App
1. Use IDEs (Android Studio/Xcode).
2. Backend Development:
Firebase for real-time data.
SQLite for local data.
