Android App Development was hard until I learned this! | Google SWE

[@hitesh2293]

Amazing Video Gaurav. I completely agree with you on the sentence "at EOD what matters in concept". There's so much of abstraction over fundamentals and people often skip fundamentals. I am the victim of the same, but now I started learning core CS fundamentals. Thanks for inspiring 💯

[@ishanbahuguna493]

Hi bro Ishan here, I found app dev hard so decided to do web dev but my interest lies in creating apps and explore the field.....give some suggestions and also u r doing great job....just to amplify ur content start talking about techs used in app and how to learn them, build projects....❤

It is still good to dev web/app , what we can do about ai, jobless?

[@100GB]

More details here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/baPMdH1oZsikmKM Should you still learn? Depends on the goals. If getting a job is the goal, then mobile development is gonna stay, it might eventually become easier given LLMs but that's gonna happen across the board. As I have said in the video learning cross platform is better IMO.

Yes bro u will be jobless​@@FactCarft

Hey, I have nearly 2 years experience as developer. I started as a Flutter dev and now work on both Flutter and React, though I'm not an expert in either of them I can easily manage to get the work done while learning new things. The problem I faced with Flutter was that a lot of things are abstracted (as it should be) as it should support multiple platforms. But I feel like I'm losing a lot of learning opportunity by not going into native side. I tried matching UIKit but oh boy going from Flutter to React and then to UIKit was a hell, going from declarative to imperative. I spent nearly 2 months in it and yet didnt feel confident to handle and task from a project. So, I'm planning to learn either SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose, which one should I opt and what road map should I follow?

[@salmakd3586]

go with Jetpack Compose and KMP

[@alancito98]

Thank you bro! amazing video

[@rajamondal5084]

Make videos on the latest in Android development

[@amansingh.h716]

why jetpack compose is very hard compare to flutter,. Each an every time we have to import something. also there are always some library which were deprecated , for example I am not able to change appbar color .I have to do lots of thing for that

[@wog4299]

Hey what do you suggest java with xml or kotlin with compose, i have completed codelabs from google which were focused on jetpack compose. My only concern is getting a job like ppl are saying companies are still prefer java developer with xml ,thats why ,can you give your opinion on this ?

[@100GB]

For job, you kind-of need both. Most companies are historically on java+xml and thinking or in the process of moving to compose. And the other set of companies are already on cross-platform.

[@kaushalc9298]

Hi bro, do you think it is better to learn web dev tools before shifting to app dev so that we will be already familiar with coding and then we only have to learn specific skills needed for Android

[@100GB]

@@kaushalc9298 it's something that can be done. But the tools used in webdev might not be directly usable on Android. Also wait for my impending video on flutter. It will clarify a few more things for you

[@kaushalc9298]

​@@100GB the thing is I'm going to start my mtech in cse in india in the coming few days. Also, my background is non cs, and i only have theoretical knowledge due to preparing for gate cs. Hence, the question about the possibility of learning web dev initially to secure a job and eventually switch to my interest in android development. Hopefully waiting for your reply

[@FactCarft]

iam btech cse student, Please tell me that is still worth it to learn Android dev because ai is taking development?

[@100GB]

See my answer on the other comment.

Hey sir long time ago you promised a video about comparison of salary and Saving of Bangalore vs USA the reality check video...but it is not uploaded.😊 btw all videos are pretty awesome​@@100GB

[@PrathivAR-f7l]

can u list down the topic to be learned become beginner to Pro

[@LordBuriburi]

Brother will learn flutter worth in this year

[@himanshukandwal8710]

Difficult is to be updated and irritating policies of Google Play.

I have been thinking of building something similar to jetpack compose for Java. Who is with me 🖐️

[@100GB]

But why?

[@just-me-and-code]

@@100GB I love the language and I think Java should also focus on being a UI language, and building something similar to Jetpack Compose for Android in Java would be awesome and that's the only language I am comfortable with

[@100GB]

@@just-me-and-code you actually hit the bull eye. The deeper you go into the topic, you will realise that Java will eventually end up becoming like Kotlin 😂

[@just-me-and-code]

@@100GB 😂 , I get what you mean! It's true that Kotlin has set a high bar with its modern features and concise syntax. I think enhancing Java in a similar direction, especially for UI development, could really empower developers who prefer Java. Plus, it would be interesting to see how Java evolves and adapts over time. Thanks for the encouragement!
