The best free and paid Android app development courses

Do you keep telling yourself you’re going to learn to code and then build yourself that amazing app idea you’ve had for ages? Do you keep putting it off? Or perhaps you’ve tried a few times and found that the learning curve is just too steep ? Don’t worry, you’re certainly not alone. In fact, it seems that everyone I speak to has an amazing idea for an app but lacks the coding skills to back it up. Android app development isn’t necessarily hard for those with a programming background, but getting started can be a bit daunting. The solution is to find the right teacher and the right project. I will often try and fail to learn new concepts multiple times before eventually making a breakthrough and fully grasping it, and often it just comes down to having it explained in the right way . We all respond to different styles of teaching though, and so what’s right for me, won’t necessarily be right for you. Fortunately, there is an absolute wealth of learning material when it comes to dev

Here’s how to enable DCI-P3 wide color gamut on OnePlus 3T

Image
The recently announced OnePlus 5 has a 5.5-inch Full HD AMOLED display that by default features the DCI-P3 wide color gamut. Based on the fact that the display is exactly the same as the one found on its predecessor, it’s actually possible to enable DCI-P3 on the OnePlus 3T as well. Well, at least on some models. The OnePlus 3T actually comes either with Samsung’s S6E3FA5 or S6E3FA3 display, with the former being the one that’s also found on the OnePlus 5. To figure out which one is on your 3T, simply download AIDA64 from the Google Play Store, tap on Display and check the model listed under Panel ID. If it’s the already mentioned S6E3FA5, you can enable the DCI-P3 wide color gamut mode, but only if your device is rooted.

Xiaomi opens its 500th service center in India; aims to be the ‘benchmark of service’

Image
In my editorial last year, I wrote about how Xiaomi is a huge hit in India, but not everyone was happy . The major customer grievance revolved around after-sales support. Xiaomi had launched several bestselling devices, yet poor after-sales support experience, non-availability of spare parts, and long wait times for getting devices serviced was hurting customer experience and brand reputation. A Xiaomi spokesperson told me at that time that the company was transitioning the most critical parts of its after-sales operations in-house, aiming for a significant improvement in the service, and had initiated a dedicated spare parts warehouse in Bangalore. Six months later, things already look better. For Xiaomi, it’s imperative that they do. India is an extremely important market in Xiaomi’s globalization strategy and their largest market outside of mainland China. In October last year, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun shared that the company aims to capture the largest market share in the country wit

AR vs VR: what’s the difference?

Image
While the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive haven’t quite been flying off the shelves yet, virtual reality is still big news and most analysts think that it is about to take off in a big way. And even if it remains solely the pastime of enthusiasts, it’s still undeniably the case that VR is officially  here – and that is incredibly exciting. But it’s not only VR that has arrived. Equally exciting, and perhaps even more so, is the arrival of comparable technologies such as AR and MR. AR is ‘augmented reality’, while MR is ‘mixed reality’. Both these options bring something similar, though slightly different, to the table and are equally significant in their own ways. Juggling all these concepts can get a little confusing for the uninitiated though, so let’s take a look at precisely how each of these technologies works and how they are different. It’s AR vs VR, a showdown that will define our future! See also: The challenges facing mobile VR May 16, 2017 AR vs VR: Augmented or
