Learn to build and ship a real cross-platform mobile app — JavaScript/React fundamentals for mobile, React Native and Expo, navigation, state management, device APIs, backend integration with Supabase, integrating the Claude API to build genuine AI-powered features (chat, tool use, agentic actions), performance/testing, and app store deployment — ending in a capstone: a complete AI-powered mobile app built and shipped end to end.
Mobile developers who can also build genuine AI powered features sit ahead of most of the market right now, since AI integration in apps is still rare outside a handful of specialists. Graduates go on to join product teams as mobile or full stack developers, freelance for startups needing an MVP built fast, or ship their own app to the store under their own name. The capstone is a complete AI powered app, built and shipped end to end, which is exactly the kind of proof of work that gets freelance contracts and job offers.
Developers with some prior programming or web development exposure (this catalog's Web & Software Development course is strong preparation, though not required) who want to build real, installable mobile apps and add genuine AI features to them, not just prototype in a browser. This is the Advanced-tier development course in the catalog, reflecting depth and duration rather than a required prerequisite skill level.
- Minimum age 16 - Comfortable using a computer; some prior exposure to JavaScript or basic programming logic is helpful but not required — Module 2 provides a refresher before any React Native work begins - A laptop able to run Node.js, a code editor, and the Expo development tools; a physical iOS or Android device (or a configured simulator/emulator) for testing your app as you build - No prior mobile development experience required
