Hey, I discovered your channel yesterday and I have already watched most of your videos. I am currently a web developer (fullstack) but I recently got an idea for a startup that I really want to try to build. I really think the idea could be more optimize with a mobile app but I've never done mobile dev before. I researched a lot about it and I'd like to know was is your take on PWA vs Mobile app because I think that right now PWA are not the most valuable option yet because people are more comfortable installing app from the app store instead of web (maybe It's just me and that's why I want to know your take on it) . I'm learning to code on my own and I'm only doing it to build things and not to get a job. I don't mind switching to mobile dev because I've got plenty of free time ahead of me to learn it. Thanks for the great content btw.

@mobiledevlife 5 күн бұрын

Hey there, thanks for the support! 😊 It's hard to bring an idea to life, especially without experience, but it's doable, or at least you start, then you realize you can change and adapt it, and make it even better over time. I wouldn't bet on PWA either, they offer a bad UX compared to a native app, and people will feel that. I think your best bet is React Native, it's similar to Web Development, you can use JS/TS, and it also offers that native-like feel and UX 🏅 try that, and you won't feel like switching from Web to Mobile, but more like adding a new layer of skills 💪 Good luck!

@Vinc-b7j 5 күн бұрын

@@mobiledevlife Thanks for the feedback and I just want to let you know that I really don't mind switching to mobile dev because like I said I have a lot of free time in front of me (I could basically do that all day long for multiple months) and I have barely a year in web dev experience so the switch might not be that disastrous, and I don't mind starting from ground zero because I'm always open to learn new things. I just wanted to be more specific in case it would change your opinion. Sorry if I bothered you with this but I'd really like to start on the right track and If I can have some advice from a someone who has this much experience in this domain I'd like to get the most out of it.

@@Vinc-b7j Got it, it's awesome that you have patience, many people ask me "how can I become a developer in a month" 😂 I still think that for your own apps you're better off with a cross-platform framework, you'll have less work to do in order to have both iOS and Android as supported platforms. Plus, cross-platform is growing, but in big companies there are still plenty of jobs on native, so yeah, any choice is good, with cross-platform you can build your own apps faster, and mobile development as a whole is super exciting! 🤩

firstly came to this amazing video loved it helpful right now iam learning web dev , could u plese tell me the average salaries or pay ranges for an android app developer in startups ?

@mobiledevlife 7 күн бұрын

Thanks for the kind words 😊 well, those salaries will vary a lot, depending on countries and the company itself, how much cashflow or investments they have. As a beginner, it's much more important to join a company where you learn stuff, not to earn a big salary. Here's why: At first it will be low anyway 😄 like a few hundred $$ per month, but the important thing is to learn in your first 1-3 years as much as possible. For this, I'd recommend joining a company who has between 10 and 50 people. It's not too chaotic (like with under 10) and also not too corporate (over 50-100), and you get to work on multiple things. In huge companies like Google you only do a very small part of a system, you don't learn how software is built in general, you just play by the rules (which is ok later in your career, but not so optimal early on). Good luck, and let me know if you have any other questions 😊

Hello, is it matter to learn a native language i.e Kotlin even if you master Flutter technology ?

@mobiledevlife 4 күн бұрын

Hi, great question. Not necessarily, you can keep using Flutter and always look for projects on jobs on Flutter, there are plenty ... but still, stay aware of how things are evolving, KMP might become more popular, more in demand, so maybe in the next 2-3 years you'll benefit from learning it, but for now you can focus only on Flutter, no problem!

Hey brother, My BCA [in Specialization in Mobile Application and Information Security integrated with Certification in CompTIA Security+ / Apple iOS Application Development with Swift] is going to start next month, so please can you suggest which PC or MacBook I should buy?

@mobiledevlife 9 күн бұрын

Sure, it depends on your budget, but the best "value for money" right now is in the 14" or 16" M1 Pro Macbooks. They are not the latest model, but they are very good, improvements to M2 / M3 were not huge, so if you can find a refurbished / used M1 Pro/Max in good condition, it would be awesome. If budget is not a problem, M3 Pro (without the CPU limitations). You definitely need a Mac if you're going to work with Swift, it's not possible to build iOS apps on a PC / Windows. Also, 32gb RAM would be nice, 16 could work, but Macbooks are not upgradable, so get 32 if you can. Good luck! 😊

What would you recommend to a new beginner? For Android.

@mobiledevlife 6 күн бұрын

Hmm, specifically for Android? Learn the Kotlin language first, and do some exercises to get comfortable with it. Then, some Android tutorials (even on the official developers.google.com page you have a few, like "Basics in Compose") and continue like that, build 1-2 apps from tutorials, then try to build a small app without a tutorial 😊

@mobiledevlife 6 күн бұрын

@@talhaqayyum5923 Ooh, got it! Well, in the past few years the cross-platform framework got better, so naturally they can be used for more types of apps. Nowadays people also want to save money 😂 so the demand for cross-platform might increase, but at the same time apps get more complicated too. I think you're safe with any option for now, look around your area (on LinkedIn maybe): what jobs are there, what requirements? What type of company do you wanna work for, big or small? Usually in big companies you'll find more native projects, but smaller companies can be exciting. It's too long of a discussion, haha, maybe a dedicated video would be nice. tl;dr - any of them will get you a job, but you can look at job openings and see if there's any pattern .. and cross-platform is growing more, but native will always exist.

I mentioned right at the end 😅but for now I think it's not a good option for iOS apps, the support for iOS is still in Alpha, I wouldn't recommend it for "client apps" to be honest. I'm sure it will grow and become better in the future, but that's why I didn't insist on it for now.

@@mobiledevlife Yeah I agree it’s better not to rely on a technology in Alpha. It’s unfortunate - as an Android engineer I’d LOVE to be able to write iOS UI with Compose too! I used KMP to build a cross platform app but forwent CMP for this reason and built the UI with SwiftUI. KMP still allows for great sharing of business logic as mentioned in the video 💪
