📱 How to Become an App Developer – A Beginner’s Guide
App development is usually divided into three main parts:
🖌 1. Front-End App Developer
This is also called Client Side development.
Front-end developers build the part of the app that people see and use – the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX).
Technologies to learn:
Flutter
React
Kotlin
Swift
XML
These tools help you create buttons, screens, and smooth designs that users interact with.
🛠 2. Back-End App Developer
This is called Server Side development.
Back-end developers build the “invisible” part of the app – handling data, storing information, user authentication, and running the logic behind the app.
Technologies to learn:
Python
Django (a Python framework)
SQL
MySQL
MongoDB
These help manage databases, handle requests, and process data.
🔀 3. Full Stack App Developer
A Full Stack Developer works on both front-end and back-end.
They know enough to build a complete app from start to finish.
They combine the skills from both the front-end and back-end.
➕ Extra Knowledge (Good to Learn)
These skills help make your app more powerful and easier to build:
Firebase (for authentication, real-time database, notifications)
API Integration (connecting your app with other services)
RESTful API (a method to let apps talk to each other)
✅ In short:
Choose if you want to start with Front-End, Back-End, or Full Stack.
Learn the tools and technologies for that path.
Add extra skills later to become more efficient.
This roadmap helps you understand what to learn first and how everything fits together to build real apps!
