App development is an exciting field with lots of opportunities. To get started, I suggest learning the basics of programming first.

You can start with courses like "Introduction to Programming" or "Programming Fundamentals" to grasp concepts like variables, loops, and conditional statements. Once you have mastered programming, you can advance to more specialized courses.

After that, you can dive into specific programming languages commonly used for app development, such as Java, Swift (for iOS), or Kotlin (for Android). Look for courses like "Java for Android Development" or "Swift Programming for iOS," depending on your preferred platform.
Just remember that app development is an ongoing learning process. Stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies in the industry. Attend workshops, participate in developer communities, and keep exploring new resources. Happy learning!

Nilaniraj gave a solid roadmap! To sum it up and add a bit more detail:

Basic Programming Courses:
- Introduction to Programming
- Programming Fundamentals (variables, loops, conditionals)
Platform-Specific Languages:
- Android: Java or Kotlin (e.g., Java for Android Development, Kotlin for Android)
- iOS: Swift (e.g., Swift Programming for iOS)
App Development Frameworks and Tools:
- Learn Android Studio for Android apps
- Learn Xcode for iOS apps
- Explore cross-platform tools like React Native, Flutter, or Xamarin if you want to build apps for multiple platforms
Additional Useful Courses:
- UI/UX Design basics to make your apps user-friendly
- Databases and Backend basics (like Firebase or REST APIs) to manage data
- Version Control with Git/GitHub for collaboration and code management

If you want, I can help you find specific courses or learning paths based on your platform of choice or skill level. What kind of app development are you aiming for? Android, iOS, or cross-platform?

In my opinion, it depends on what kind of app you want to develop for example Android App Development, iOS App Development, Cross-Platform App Development or other kind of development. Well, there are lots of courses available on the internet, but I will suggest you to take free courses listed below.

For Android App Development take Android Basics in Kotlin by Google
For iOS App Development take Intro to App Development with Swift by Apple
For Cross-Platform App Development take React Native Crash Course by freeCodeCamp

All above courses are free.
