What is an App Developer?

Have you ever downloaded an application onto your mobile device and wonder, how does this application function the way it does? How does the application know what information to display when you touch a specific tab? I have even thought about a smart watch. iOS and Android have created a watch with many apps that contain so much information. How can something so small, hold all this information that is put into the app. Therefore, app developers are so important. They are the key to why apps on your mobile’s devices, laptops, watches, tablets, etc. function the way they do. What is an App Developer? An app developer is basically a computer software engineer. You have probably heard other names such as computer designer, computer architect or even a coder. App developers create and design apps to run on a mobile device. They use different coding to write programs for mobile and computer devices. Their operating systems usually includes Windows, Mac, or Unix.
