Apple is opening a European development centre to teach children to code
The center, opened in Italy this week, will help developers gain the skills needed to prosper in the “app economy”, or the economic space surrounding Apple’s App Store.
The announcement concluded on a hopeful note, saying that additional iOS App Development Centers should start opening in other countries, as well, but details such a timeline or a specific location have yet to be revealed.
It began with Stocks and then Apple added more default apps such as Health, Tips, Watch, Maps, iBooks and lots more. “This has been an incredibly rapid transformation of the job market, paralleling the astounding growth of smartphone usage”.
Apple also continues to work and partner with small and large businesses across the world in order to establish their objectives while helping Apple develop better technologies that would benefit every individual in the world.
Now you can take these claims with a pinch of salt (I know I do), but Apple also claims to employ 6,500 people in the United Kingdom directly.
Apple released a statement Thursday asserting that its product ecosystem is responsible for more than a million jobs in Europe.
The official Kickstarter for Android app is now available as a free download from the Google Play Store.
It is remarkable to note that the mobile App Economy did not exist just a few years ago. The phenomenal growth is a reflection of the reality of how much of an impact digital transformation has had.
The UK leads the way with 242,000 jobs in iOS development, followed by Germany with 209,000, France with 163,000, and Italy with 75,000. Though Apple has a smaller market share compared to Google, its users spend more on apps than Android users.
Tim Cook, the present CEO of Apple declared that the continent harbors the most creative minds when it comes to App development.
Apple and its ecosystem now supports over than 1.4 million jobs, which includes 1.2 million that make up its community of app developers, entrepreneurs, and software engineers. In order to open the center, Apple will be partnering up with a local institution.
“Apple opening such a centre can only be a positive for the European app economy, ” said Jaede Tan of App Annie, an analytics company.
