Course Description

NativeScript Course

NativeScript is a popular cross-platform framework for rapid app development using JavaScript, CSS and XML. With NativeScript, writing and deploying native mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows using a single code base becomes a breeze. The advantage of NativeScript follows from its write once and run anywhere model for creating native apps. Developers can explore the possibilities of building truly native applications in JavaScript and they will also be able to communicate with the host device libraries from their code.

This practical, hands-on training will help you untangle the web-to-mobile divide using the NativeScript mobile framework without compromising on the features, performance, or design. We at KnowledgeHut charges reasonable fees for all the courses in order to make it available to everyone.
