Channel: Michael de Gans
Date: 2021-08-01

Start with no coding experience and join me on an app development journey! (For the latest devices on iOS Android and Windows) This series won't stop untill you know all the ins and outs to create your own apps. So ring that bell and get notified when the next video comes out!

This journey is designed to teach absolute beginners the fundamental skills for making apps on any platform from UWP and iOS to Android. Forget about learning different code languages, we will be using 1 (!) for all platforms!

We start with the installation of the applications for developing apps and end with deploying to a physical device. Truly from start to finish, development from a to z.
