Hi Caroline Chayadi

You can use Java and JavaScript to create apps -- desktop apps, mobile apps AND web apps. What kind of apps are you interested in making?

Keep in mind that Java and JavaScript are two VERY different programming languages and which you choose will affect how you create those apps.

I was originally told HTML 5 then adding javascript to make it more sophisticate. Is that means I can just straight use javascript only?

What kind of app do you want to make? A web app that people use in their web browser; an app that runs on a mobile phone; or an app that you install on a desktop computer (windows or mac)?

A mobile apps that's in the cell phones or tablets.

You should probably be looking in for courses on Android Development or if you intend to build for the MacOS or Apple iOS devices then this course here
