Mobile App Development

Nigeria is a mobile-first market — most users will never open your product on a desktop — and businesses everywhere need engineers who can build for the device in every pocket. This six-month online track teaches cross-platform mobile development with React Native and Expo: one TypeScript codebase shipping to both Android and iOS, which is exactly how startups and agencies in Lagos, Port Harcourt and remote teams actually ship.

The programme assumes basic programming familiarity (our Full-Stack track is the recommended on-ramp if you have none) and moves fast into craft: React Native's component model and navigation, native device capabilities — camera, location, notifications, biometrics — and the discipline of building for low-end Android hardware and unreliable networks. The offline-first module is where this track differentiates: local persistence with sync strategies, conflict handling and queueing actions so your app works in airplane mode and reconciles gracefully when connectivity returns.

The capstone is a real store launch: you take an app through production release end to end — Play Store and App Store accounts, signing and release pipelines, crash reporting with Sentry, analytics instrumentation, payment integration (Paystack or Flutterwave), and a staged rollout plan. You finish having published an app under your own name, which is the single most convincing artifact a mobile developer can show an employer or client.
