    Riley Simon

    Considering the craze that is there over iPhones and iPads worldwide I will be crazy not to learn how to develop apps for iPhone and iPad. I have done the course on Android Application development and have developed quite few Applications and they are gradually gaining traction in the Android Marketplace. So I was lamenting why not I release the same apps for iPhone too? Now iOS8 app is a different platform and coming from Apple its bound to be very different from Android so I was little apprehensive at first when I started the course.

    I run a small online business and way the things have changed now a days and each site is installing an app in the user’s phone for ease of access, it’s becoming tough to compete with competitors without any apps as they are always reminding their users of their existence. I was not much into App Development though I made and run my own Content Management System driven eCommerce business, the importance of adding an App to the website is gradually becoming paramount. So under pressure of competition I decided to take this course up. A friend suggested this site infact for learning it. So learn I did and the trainer has given nice outline to the whole process and have explained it beautifully. So I never had any problems learning it. Presently am making Application for the iPhone which will integrate my services into the Application and am hoping to make it public soon and boost my revenue!

    I am traditionally a web developer but always wanted to shift to apps development as I am seeing many developers are making good money from their Applications. So honestly I felt if I start making Applications it gives me a good side income. If some Application makes it big then well that itself can take care of all expenses and make loads of profit. So well why shy away from Application development? I was lamenting a bit should I go for Android or iOS? Considering the kind of user base I am looking at I felt iOS8 app will be a good option for me to start with. So I started searching for courses online.
