Swift on iOS, a little Java here and there and C# for Xamarin. I'll show you how to use them all!

Of course you have to learn how to make good apps first so take my courses now and you will see how easy mobile app development can be!

I am currently taking this and it seems quite promising specially the Services Section.
Very good course. Highly recommend. The play/pause button works incorrectly in the beginning, but later videos show more advanced ways of starting/pausing. Very good course and good practical example on how to use Services.
Explaining things are great and reasoning on with it makes cents. Lol i means cents too.
Muy bueno, aunque debo decir que ya me dedico al desarrollo y por eso me parece muy Ăștil para lo que necesito el curso. 100 % recomendado para realizar una app de streamming
