Course details

Have you ever thought of a cool idea for an app, just to find out later that some punk kid built it first and became a billionaire?

What if you could jump straight into iOS and Android app development using the tool set you already have: HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

We live in post-pc world where HTML5 and the Open Web technologies have become mature enough to create robust mobile applications for all platforms, sharing a single code base.
