Good day guys. I want to go do a tech program but I'm confused. Although, I'm a hardware technician, I want to explore other tech world.

I'm considering Android/iOS development or Data Analytics, but I don't know which of them has more job prospects.

Please, anyone with vast experience on the job availability and pay for any of the two should help me suggestions. Which of the two is better and relevant?

Thanks!

Android /iOSdev is better because more jobs are available than data analysis. Download
Xcode (for swift UI)and android studio for Kotlin for Android development.


Register for an udemy course and ebooks from Amazon or packt.

You will need a Mac M1 to Mac M4 if you want to build apps for higher version of apple devices and launch in Apple store

For you will need
Android SDK
CocoaPods
JDK 24
Ios and android emulator

It is better you pitch your tent to mobile app development, it is better to share programming language you are familiar with or if you are not familiar with any in order to know programming language to direct you to for mobile app development that you can quickly catch up with to avoid being lost in several uncountable programming languages available for mobile app development.


You can start with android development to avoid being lost at moment. Once you are good with coding logic and many app development terms, you will know when you are mature enough programmatically to combine with iOS. Android is cheaper to register with when you know enough or a bit to own your development account with google.

It also depends on if you want to be a serious programmer or play-play programmer. If you want to be a serious programmer, it will cost you your social life and decipline. If you are the one that loves watching too much videos, play too much games, addicted to too much football and without social media decipline, I will advise you to reduce them to minimum to get more time for programming and debugging if you don't want to end up being a play play programmer.

With programming skills, even if there is no job or contract for you, you can develop your own apps and put them on play store for monitization purposes. You may be lucky to generate your billions if you stick to the Google rules and ready to compete with other global apps on play store. Also, never have a dubious mindset that once you own app in the store, then you will engage in self clicking. If you violates the rules, Google will kick you out fast. With honesty and hardwork, you can make enough money to retire young.

Good luck to you as you nurture your passion to greatness via hardwork and honesty
