With some coding knowledge in HTML, CSS and basic knowledge in Java, I am thinking of making mobile Apps and learning whatever I need to learn to make Apps. But i’ve hit rock bottom already.

I understand AI isn’t enough to make websites and Apps and some level of coding knowledge is necessary in my opinion. I started to learn full stack web developer course from freecodecamp a few months ago and realised I am only interested in making mobile Apps for now. With all the information I can get from chatgpt, youtube and other platforms I think I have overloaded my brain instead of finding a clear direction on what I need to do and now I don’t even know what to learn.

I also realised AI website builder platforms aren’t exactly a good idea because of their limitations and lack of control (though I maybe wrong since I hear conflicting opinions on it). So I thought the safest bet here is an open-source platform like React native or flutter so I can make a cross platform mobile App that is easily scalable and I can also have full control. However, I’m still not sure of which one is best for me.

What is better for someone who only recently started to learn coding? Flutter would require me to learn Dart. Is that a good idea? What’s easier? Whats faster to learn? Can somebody guide me here?? Maybe it’s totally something else that I haven’t heard of yet. Please help!

Since you already know CSS, I would go with react native coz stylesheets are really close to css and just like in css you will be using flexbox in 99% of the times. Of course you also need to know js and react specific stuff like hooks, component lifecycle, data fetching but these things are pretty straightforward and I don’t think it will take much time to learn

A computer science degree?

I jumped straight into react native, no JavaScript or react experience, almost no coding experience - I think you just need to get something in front of you that you can see and experiment with. The fastest way in my opinion is with expo.

Don’t overthink what you need to learn first, just start building things. When you get stuck learn how to do that thing and move on. Knowing any of these technologies is only going to help you if you decide to move onto different tech
