Software Application Developer
Design computer applications, such as word processors and games for consumers. You may create custom software for a specific customer or commercial software for the public. Software developers have a wide range of potential projects that they are capable of undertaking. The more languages in which you can code and the greater understanding you have of user of user interfaces, the more adaptable and supportive you can be to your organization.
Web Developer
Code, design and lay out websites according to a company's specifications. The role considers user experience and function, and a certain level of both graphic design and computer programming is necessary. Web developers may also work with individuals such as freelancers looking to increase their appeal to clients through a well-designed, easy to use website.
Mobile App Developer
Use development and programming languages to create and test applications on mobile devices. You’ll work in popular operating system environments such as iOS and Android. Mobile app developers may work for a company or individual who wishes to build their own application. Many app developers work at a company that offers their services to other groups who need an app built for their business.
A mobile app, also referred to as mobile application or simply an app, is software or a program specifically designed to operate on a mobile device like a phone, tablet or watch. Mobile apps were first designed for productivity, such as managing contact lists and calendars, but have grown to encompass more categories including games, GPS, order tracking and more. Today, a vast majority of large companies that provide direct to consumer services have at least one app.
Android apps are primarily built using languages like Java and Kotlin while apps made for iOS are built using Swift. In general, apps made for iOS require less coding on the whole. This typically leads to a faster development time for iOS apps compared to Android apps.
The timeframe for app development can vary widely and is dependent upon a variety of factors. In general, it takes around three to nine months to build an app, but this amount of time can increase or decrease based on a combination of the following factors:
Development team size
Budget
App type
App size
Platform/operating system
Web and mobile application development is the process of developing an application specifically for mobile devices and web browsers. Developers must consider multiple screen sizes, as well as the different hardware and features of the devices. A good developer looks at not only the ability of their site or application to function, but also the experience for the user. Strong developers spend a significant portion of the development process ensuring that their app or site is enjoyable to use and is accessible for all types of users.
You can begin your journey to becoming an app developer by advancing your knowledge and skills to help you better prepare for roles in the industry. At DeVry, our online undergraduate certificate in web and mobile application development can help you build a foundation in application development, as well as help to prepare you to pursue relevant industry credentials such as CompTIA IT Fundamentals and CompTIA Linux+.
Developers in this field must learn user-interface design, programming and database management, as well as how to work within various operating systems. Research is also a useful skill for keeping up with development trends as UI is constantly being improved upon by other developers. Most developers gain these skills through a combination of real world experience and mobile app development courses.
Graduates of our undergraduate certificate program in Web and Mobile App Development may consider, but are not limited to, the following careers:
