About this course
There Are 100 Million Smartphone Users in Nigeria — Build the Apps They Download!
Mobile apps are eating the world. From banking (Opay, Kuda) to transport (Bolt, InDrive) to commerce (Jumia, Jiji) — every successful Nigerian business has a mobile app. And the demand for mobile developers has never been higher.
This course teaches you to build professional, cross-platform mobile applications that work on BOTH Android and iOS from a single codebase. You'll master React Native with Expo (the same technology used by Instagram, Facebook, Shopify, and Discord), and get hands-on experience with Flutter as well.
12 weeks, 6 complete apps: You'll build a calculator, a weather app, a chat application, an e-commerce app with payment integration, a social media app, and a final capstone project of your choice. Every app will be deployable to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
By course end, you'll have a portfolio that proves you can build production-quality mobile apps — and the skills to earn ₦500,000-₦3,000,000/month as a mobile developer.
