Súper básico pero toca todos los puntos del desarrollo de aplicaciones y la verdad que se hace super ameno. Te da muchos recursos para profundizar en cada tema lo cual esta muy bien. Me ha servido mucho como empujón inicial para el desarrollo de aplicaciones móviles

This is an extremely practical and useful guide to all people who even don't have any experience with mobile development. It gives the essential knowledge needed for UX/UI design, marketing, tracking, monetization etc. which took me a lot of time to learn. I would recommend it to everyone starting with programming mobile apps as it lays the basis for starting a successful mobile app.

The majority of this book is pretty basic. For me personally I didn’t find new insights but I believe this is a great guide for anyone who wants to know how the "mobile world" works in general. It covers many topics such as Android/iOS/Web and also insights about monetization practices but also design guidelines as well as accessibility.
The illustrations are also very cute.

Pra quem está começando a estudar o universo mobile é um ótimo guia, passa uma idéia geral de cada ecossistema e deixa muitas indicações de o quê é necessário para desenvolver, testar, lançar e ganhar dinheiro com um aplicativo. E é grátis!

Great book/guide.

Very informative and useful with links to an abundance of other resources. It doesn't give a step-by-step code examples but rather shows you where to go and find this information relating to a number of platforms out there.

Excellent walkthrough of almost every facet of mobile development as an overview. Perfect for planning stages, and will definitely want to get the latest version when it becomes available.

Nice overview of the mobile app space. Hits all major points but doesn't get lost in the details.
