Language recommendation
-
Im a newbie but i want to learn a language. I was going through javascript, but does anyone recommend a language for app development on ubports? Another way to state this is can i make an app just with javascript? Or what do i need learn. I saw qml is used in apps on here
-
@unrealb2 You can create an app purely with QML and JavaScript. They work fine. Most of my apps are like that. Ideally though, JavaScript is only used for UI logic and C++ for the actual app logic. C++ has its benefits like better performance.

@unrealb2 Qtquick2/qml is mainly used for the interface. Background logic can be almost anything but I would recommend sticking to those that have a premade build container for clickable.
Python works nicely and is quite beginner friendly.

@unrealb2 I would recommend python (if you don't know c++). For a long time I didn't try out any app development because I am not good with c++, but then I found an app I wanted to contribute to. It was written in python and I was able to pick it up pretty quickly, I even started developing my own app with python. QML is fairly easy to get going with too.

@vlladdrakk thats what i was thinking of doing, is finding an app and study its language code and mess around with it. Thanks for the input guys. Yeah i dont know any language ive studied a little bit of bash python and javascript but i want to focus on one to actually build something. Ill look at other peoples code, monkey see monkey do
