I am looking to get into mobile app development. I'm currently a developer on the mainframe (4 years). I don't have any experience in object oriented programming but I believe I have a decent foundation of programming logic and data structure. I am torn between going to an online college or just doing a boot camp. What are your experiences? Thank you
Coding bootcamps focus on training people for a specific type of programming job (normally full-stack web programming). Most bootcamps teach some general programming along with specifics of the latest web-programming technologies (e.g., mean stack) and the latest team-work styles (e.g., agile development, pair programming).
So in my opinion coding bootcamps will help you more in the longterm.

Ok Im sure I am not the first one with this question/Idea. I am interested in starting up a small dev company for android Apps. I have several ideas but the biggest is a game I feel like if I dont get out then it will make my head explode. My question is what should I expect when it comes to hiring developers? I need to know what to expect for salary and workstation costs, ect. I am not against people working from home, even not in the same state as long as they can meet programming goals. I have very, very little programming knowledge, I am more into the story board part of games then the actual code but I am learning. I recently enrolled to finish my computer science degree and I have been spending several hours a day in both the guide built by tjdwowh as well as a guide on youtube with 200+ videos to help me learn. Recap:
What should I expect to pay devs to help build various apps?
What type of devs should I be looking for?
-Code
-animation/graphic design
How long should I expect it to take to build a game?
-best example from the app store would be the mass effect 3: infiltrator game that costs $6.99.
What type of machines should I provide for people to work from or should I expect them to have their own
I already have a degree in business and computer engineering but should I wait to finish my Science degree before starting the company.
I heard this site is great for general help all the way to advanced so thanks ahead of time for any and all help, I GREATLY appreciate it.

Some answers.
Typical monthly salary in Russia (capital cities) for Android programmer is about 2500 usd, for iOS programmer is 3000 usd.
This is very average digits, in province cities prices are a little bit less then mentioned. I mean here, experienced programmers,
almost on project tech lead positions.
In Europe countries prices are higher.
Definately, coding and creating design, is absolutely diffirent activity, and it is better to have a professionals for these both parts
of mobile project.
Game development time is very depends on game design document, team experinece, tools used, and many other factors.
Minimum estimation can be considered as 1 month. Maximum is unlimited for gigantic projects.
This question has been on my mind for some time.
I'm a Business Informatics student (first year) and was wondering what language should i learn for my specific goals. In the second year i will get introduced to c and c++ and in the third year to php and frond-end scripting languages and UI design.
My question, in accordance with my specific goals , is : what language would give me the highest chance to work remotely (internationally) for a USA/AUS/Canadian employer as a junior with no formal work experience? I'm refering to stable employment as a remote contractor for a company.
It is important to note that i live in Eastern Europe. I've done some reasearch on the legal part and concluded it will not be a problem as i do not plan to live in the USA and will be contracting or making my own limited company, i also plan (not set in stone) to work only for a few years [until that experience and savings will afford me the means to maybe start my own company (not limited) here]
I had two options in mind : php and java (android-eclipse).
PHP because is the only language i've seen job ads for hiring junior devs internationally and i understand it takes less time to learn and be employable, though my perception is that the maket is saturated with php developers ...
I expect the field will be even more saturated until i will get enough experience to enter it. Another disadvatage is the low pay in comparison to desktop development (also apperent in my country).
In my view, the advantages of php are that you can work independently on a product , going through all the development cycles independently (alone) and thus the probability that i can work remotely is higher as i do not need to be part of an office team.
I do not want to use java (asides from android development) for just that reason. It's mostly used by big companies that use big teams and will only accept experience contractors provided by consulting firms.
My perceptions about android development is that there is more demand than supply on this market , you can , again go through the development cycles alone and that it has a higher entry barrier (java is harder and is harder to become a java dev. without formal education, it takes more time to learn etc.), making it less saturated.
The data i have from 2012 suggests a huge demand for mobile devs , though it does not differentiate between technologies and i do not know if the data is still valid today , as the mobile market is a volatile one.
A thing i do not know is if it's practiced by app developing companies/employers in general to hire junior devs remotely , long-term and i wonder about the future of apps.:
How much math would i need to know to be a android developer ? I assume it's mostly used in 3D and physics engine , though i do not know if the future will become 3d oriented as far as games go. I'm not a big fan of math, so i need to know how much math will i be getting into. I plan to do mostly 2d development (if that's possible).
The last questions are about time and experience.
How much time will it require for me to become an employable (remote) entry-level php developer and likewise a entry level android developer?
How much difference is between chances of employment as a entry level php dev vs an entry level android dev for employers using those technologies?
I'm scared that the companies that usually hire android devs want people who already had some formal job for some time (1-2-3 years) [it's that way for java], like i said the only (very few) jobs that accepted entry-level people remotely where php jobs.
You are welcome to suggest any language, but please discuss the reasoning .
Sorry for the amount of info and questions, but this has been on my mind for some time now and i decided , based on some lurking and recommandations that this is the place that can help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
I have a startup and I have been developing games. I have a different business plan for my company and so calling in developers for the same. The opportunity and privileges are different from normal companies. We will learn together and make games.
For the recruitment purpose we have the following criteria.
1)Prior moderate programming knowledge is a must.
2)We will be using unity as a game engine so basic experience is required.
3)Knowledge about version control system.
4)Determination. Loyalty. Passion.
If you think you fill the above criteria and are interested , then message me on xda for further conversation.
Thanks.

Hey Guys,
We are small startup based on mobile games development, we would like to start monetizing via one of provided monetization platforms and their networks.
Some of our games will include rewarded video.
We are planning to get tones of views so important point for us is fill rate and completions.
Does their some big differences between supersonic and fyber? Which one should we use ?

Full Disclosure, I work with Appodeal, a programmatic mediation tool for developers.
Let me just say you need to broaden your considerations. Overall, Fyber, Ironsource (and MoPub), while popular, offer vastly similar technologies, relying on predictive algorithms based on historical data to ensure performance is optimized, and require ADDITIONAL integrations to support mediated partners.
With Appodeal, we do things a bit differently. Rather than relying on historical (an potentially irrelevant) data, our solution forces advertisers to compete, in real time, in bidding war for your ad request.
Also, everything is available under a single SDK/Account/Platform/Payment, so you're not managing separate adapters and accounts to actually mediate, as is the case with our competitors.
Overall, Appodeal technology can produce a 15% increase in revenues over other mediation providers, and we can save you more time with simpler integration and automated ad serving.
Feel free to hit me up via email, [email protected], or via Skype, christopher_jam, if you would like to know more. Happy to do provide a demo of the platform. Would be great to have the chance to check out some of your apps and recommend some user friendly ad strategies.
No matter what, best of luck!
Cheers,
Chris
Human exploration will never stop. We should set our sights beyond what we see now and look to the future, shifting from innovation to invention. We’re seeing rapid changes to life, work, and society as every industry adopts emerging technologies like 5G, cloud, big data, IoT, and artificial intelligence.
We are building a world in which everything is connected, sensing, and intelligent. The fusion of ICT’s nascent strands is creating new business models, new capabilities, and new possibilities for how we approach life and business. Intelligent devices and systems are making all kind of service paradigms possible that were once the realms of sci-fi, from robots in the home and immersive VR to zero search, frictionless communications, and more.
Since our inaugural GIV report in 2018, we’ve been seeing the deeper adoption of ICT by enterprises and industries, opening new doors to innovation, inclusion, and sustainability. 2019’s [email protected] presents Huawei’s insights into the opportunities that new technologies will create across 17 industries, including transport, retail, finance, manufacturing, and aerospace.
GIV2025 sets out 10 trends and key predictions for 2025. These are as follows:
1. Living with Bots: Advances in material science, perceptual AI, and network technologies are powering the uptake of robotics in a variety of home and personal scenarios. GIV predicts a global penetration rate of home robots of at least 14%.
2. Super Sight: The convergence of 5G, VR/AR, machine learning, and other emerging technologies will let us see beyond distance, distortion, surface, and history, opening up new vistas for people, business, and culture. GIV predicts that VR/AR will have a user base of 337 million.
3. Zero Search: As data-driven and sensor-equipped appliances and devices begin anticipating our needs, information will find us. Future searches will be button-free, personal social networks will be created effortlessly, and industry will benefit from “zero-fault maintenance”. GIV predicts that 90% of smart device owners will use intelligent personal assistants.
4. Tailored Streets: Intelligent transport systems will connect people, vehicles, and infrastructure, creating zero congestion, rapid emergency response, and other functions that will make life smoother. GIV predicts that 15% of vehicles will have Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything technology.
5. Working with Bots: Already transforming many industries, smart automation will take on more hazardous, repetitive, and high-precision tasks – a boon for safety and productivity. GIV predicts that there will be 103 robots in industry for every 10,000 employees.
6. Augmented Creativity: Cloud AI will cut the cost and barrier of entry to scientific experimentation, innovation, and art, opening up a goldmine of creative potential that’s available to all. GIV predicts that 97% of large companies will have deployed AI.
7. Frictionless Communication: AI and big data analytics will create seamless communication between companies and customers and break down language barriers. Accuracy, understanding, and trust will underpin tomorrow’s communications. GIV predicts that enterprises will fully use of 86% of the data that they produce.
8. Symbiotic Economy: Companies across the planet are adopting digital tech and smart applications on unified access platforms – that means greater collaboration, resource-sharing, stronger global ecosystems, and higher productivity. GIV predicts that cloud technology penetration among enterprises will be 100%.
9. 5G’s rapid rollout: 5G is here and it’s landing far faster than any previous wireless generation – the potential for individuals, businesses, and society is enormous. GIV predicts that 58% of the world’s population will have access to 5G.
10. Global Digital Governance: Advancements in digital tech must be balanced by shared data standards and principles for data use. GIV predicts that the annual volume of global data will reach 180 ZB (1 ZB = 1 trillion GB).
By combining Huawei’s own data with the findings of international organizations, market researchers, and industry leaders, it is our aim to demonstrate the value of ICT in business and society.
Led by artificial intelligence, 5G, and cloud computing, the Fourth Industrial Revolution is accelerating the arrival of the intelligent world. Huawei is committed to building digital platforms, user experiences, and intelligent technology that power ubiquitous connectivity in every scenario. It’s our mission to offer every person, home, and organization an intelligent future and the benefits of entirely new opportunities for growth.
