The difficult economy is pushing employees and job seekers to get more resourceful in both the value they bring to their organizations and in acquiring skills that are easy to learn and in hot demand, which is driving them to the mobile app development space. RunRev, makers of the LiveCode cross-platform development environment, has created the LiveCode Academy to teach anyone how to create mobile apps in just seven weeks. The free online course begins Monday, September 12 and runs through October 28. Registration is available now.
With global mobile app sales forecasted to hit $ 4 billion this year , the thirst for app development skills is obvious from daily job openings for mobile app developers, to educators looking for new ways to further engage students or teach highly marketable skills, and job seekers looking for more effective ways to enter the workforce. Coursework for LiveCode Academy appeals to a broad range of students and professionals who can learn with like-minded individuals through simple lesson plans and software that focuses specifically on turning an idea into a marketable app from start to finish.
For individuals looking to tap into commercial development opportunities, LiveCode lets developers create high quality, multimedia apps without the need to learn traditional, complex programming languages, such as Java or Objective-C. The first LiveCode Academy took place in the spring, with nearly 400 participants signing up and voicing unanimous support. Academy participant Alan Gandy said, The lessons are great for those who may be completely new to programming yet enough detail is included to satisfy an experienced coder. Continued participant Caio Siebel, This was a great experience. I started without any background whatsoever, other then how to search on Google, and now I have a app ready to deploy.
