App writing

Question

If you want to progress to writing apps
Which languages would be most useful
Are there any free bits of software to help

Answer 1

When working with app development, the best thing to do first would be to narrow down which operating system you want it to run on. There are several ways of developing applications, but most ways are purely specific to one operating system so that would be good to know.

If you want to get into IOS development, then I would highly recommend Swift and XCode. Swift is a language used alongside XCode to develop applications for IOS devices, and is a very popular choice with developers. While Swift is the language, XCode is the IDE used to write the scripts, create the UI, add any audio, etc. to your app. I would recommend checking out the Sololearn course for Swift, as it goes over a lot of the fundamentals when developing with it.

If you want to get into Android development, then Android Studio would be your best option. Android Studio is very similar to XCode, except rather than allowing for IOS development, it works best with Android devices. For its coding, it mainly uses Java, Kotlin, and XML for everything, so I would recommend learning them before starting out with it.
