Does the advice of "just learn to use a few different languages and build a CRUD app that has a cloud hosted database" not hold true anymore?
A really good learning experience is having a crack at making the same app for both android and IOS (much frustration with objective c) For a newbie stuff like persistence storage, learning MVC, learning objective c, java, android and iOS, sqlite, and all the other stuff in between (Xcode is awful).
aAl of the other CS stuff is valid. Although i feel like you probably won't have the necessary buy in to learn algorithms and data structures well if you don't have a degree / GPA on the line.
- djur 12y agoDo you still need to buy an Apple computer in order to develop iOS apps? As long as that's true, I don't think "make an iOS app" belongs in any general-purpose advice for aspiring developers.
- gonzo41 12y agoTrue, most schools run both, or at least my university did/does. but for the self taught, go android, more phones thus cheaper to get into the game.
