About this book
Master Mobile App Development in 2025 – The Only Textbook That Actually Prepares You for Real Jobs
This is the mobile development book I wish existed when I started teaching. It's built exactly like the courses at Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, and CMU – but updated to November 2025 reality. You get native iOS with Swift 6 + SwiftUI, native Android with Kotlin 2.0 + Jetpack Compose, cross-platform React Native (new architecture) and Flutter 3.24+, plus modern PWAs that finally feel like real apps. Every chapter starts with 2025 market data (actual App Store made ~$102B, Play Store ~$48B, iOS still owns premium revenue). You learn strategic platform decisions before writing a single line of code. Then you go deep: Clean Architecture, MVI/MVVM, modularization, gRPC + GraphQL, Core ML + Gemini Nano on-device AI, ARKit/ARCore, Vision Pro development, offline-first patterns, biometric security, CI/CD with Fastlane + GitHub Actions, and proper testing pyramids that big companies actually use. Every section ends with real case studies (Airbnb's KMP migration, Google Play Store's Compose rewrite, Duolingo's 200+ A/B tests, Be My Eyes AI integration) and explicit "Job Skill" boxes that tell you exactly what recruiters want when they say "Senior Mobile Engineer" or "Mobile Solutions Architect" in 2025.
Most mobile books are either five years out of date or just shallow tutorials. This one is different because it's brutally current, ruthlessly practical, and academically honest. I wrote it after noticing every existing textbook was missing the same things: real 2025 economics, proper decision frameworks, enterprise architecture patterns, on-device AI, spatial computing, and direct mapping to six-figure job requirements. So I built the missing book myself. Short, dense modules you can teach or learn in any order. No filler. No recycled 2020 content. Just the stuff that actually gets you hired at FAANG-tier companies or lets you ship serious apps as an indie.
