Working on new, innovative apps excites us the most…no surprises there. There is another thing that gives us great joy too – the sight of young, enthusiastic coders learning the basics of mobile app development, and actually making a name for themselves as developers. During the second week of May in Sweden, our Swedish chapter – Teks Mobile Sweden – will be organizing two 5-day training workshops, on making applications for the iOS and Android platforms respectively. We are looking forward to a healthy turnout at the event, a seamless transfer and sharing of knowledge, interactive sessions between learners and some of the best mobile app developers in the industry, and…at the end of it all…bringing all attendees up to speed regarding the creation of custom apps. Here are all the details you need to know about our upcoming iOS/Android workshops:
