Thank you so much, Dmitri! 🙌 You're one of the ones who inspired me to get started here as well, since I've seen you do it successfully 💪 Looking forward to seeing your future videos as well!
Hi Dan, thank you very much for this! Would be really great.. as a newbie of mobile app development, I struggle deciding where and what to learn.. as you said, sometimes can be overwhelming! But yes, having someone guiding you would be great, so really appreciated 😍
Thanks for the support! 🤩 Oh yes, there are so many choices, all of them have pros and cons. I'll address this topic specifically in one of my videos for sure!
Thank you so much! 🤩 RU-vid should allow us to explore topics in more depth than on Insta, so it should be a nice addition, thanks for following along 😊
Ive been following you on Instagram. I saw a link to this video on your story but forgot to click and now you are on my timeline. Great to see your content 🎉
How will you rate the Android development using Kotlin... As where I'm working these guys are already shifting from native to PWA... What is your view on the same? Should I continue to work in Kotlin or do I need to shift into Angular(web).
Great question! Honestly I think PWA still offer a bad experience compared to native or cross-platform. Kotlin's major advantage (besides being able to develop for Android) is Kotlin Multiplatform, which is growing and I think it will become more and more popular. Sure, very simple apps can work as PWAs, but you'll never have a banking app, or an IOT app, or some pro-camera app as a PWA, maybe not even as a cross platform app, so you're safe with Kotlin for now 😊
Hey Dan, I have recently started following you and I love your content! I really want to ask you this question. When working with agencies, managers love to have one guy that does everything. Web front-end, backend, mobile dev, full-stack, Devops, etc. How did you tackle this problem? How did you stick to mobile development only? The other challenge is being able to find jobs specifically dedicated to mobile dev. There seems to be more web dev jobs in comparison to mobile dev jobs in Asia.
Hey, thanks a lot for the kind words and for the question, it's really good. Here's what I saw: In my experience (and my friends from other agencies as well), if the agency has at least 20 people, they need specialized devs: some who only do Web, some on Mobile, even the web ones start to be dedicated: front-end and backend. Smaller agencies yes, they tend to ask you to be a jack of all trades, but I wouldn't work there 😅 because you can't change their mind, and they are usually just selling people further to clients for more money. Try to look for jobs in a company with at least 40-50 people, they should have better processes and management in general. As for more jobs on web vs mobile, hmm, maybe it's a thing in Asia, in Europe the gap is not that big, and mobile devs are just as well paid as web ones, even better sometimes, because the number of mobile devs is not that big, so supply and demand and in a balance. If you can specialize on a single tech stack, even if there are few job openings, you'll have a big chance to get them 💪
Haha, partially just to make a joke, but I'm also less experienced in React Native compared to the other ones, because I worked for several years on the other ones. That doesn't mean it's not good, it is, and I can surely share mobile development tips that apply to React Native as well 😊
Hey, thank you so much! 🤩 I don't have an active Newsletter yet, but I did set it up at mobiledev.life 😅 Skool and my Instagram account are my main priorities now, along with RU-vid, but the Newsletter is next! Thanks for much for the comment and nice words!
🤣 React Native is ok too, I just don't have that much experience with it, compared to the others, which I've used over the years. I can definitely cover some React Native stuff too in the future 😊 thanks for watching and for the comment!
Both of them have potential. Recently Google announced official support for KMP, so if you already know some native Android, KMP would be a good choice, for I think Flutter is also great. I'll drop a new video about them in a couple of days!
Thanks for the feedback! 😊 I'll try to add more in the future videos, it takes some practice but it should get better with time. Do you mean like: zooms, images, animations, texts?
Sorry 🤣 I had to also make it funny a bit, but I'm not that experienced in React Native as in native iOS/Android or Flutter. Nonetheless, I'm curious about all the app development routes and will definitely keep up with React Native stuff as well, but probably not in so much depth as the others, we'll see 😊 I think you can still get some value about mobile app development in general, career, coding tips and so on.
