Hi! You do not need to learn HTML, CSS or JavaScript to program your own mobile applications. Android developement is mostly done using the programming language Java. You can attend your first Android developement lesson in the following course: Beginning Android. A basic understanding of Java is however recommended, so you should probably start off with Beginning Java before starting with Android developement. To get started with iOS developement, you can attend the Beginning iOS course to get an understanding of the developement tool Xcode, as well as the programming language Swift. However, if you are planning on making games for Google Play or the App Store, you will most likely want to use a game engine like Unity. Unity uses C#, which Treehouse also has a course on (Beginning C#). Hope this answered your question! Be sure to add a comment if anything was unclear. -Erlend

Thank you that was very informative.

Yes! There are ways to make mobile applications with HTML, CSS and JavaScript using frameworks such as jQuery Mobile. However, I do not know how well-documented the frameworks are and if they are largely used in professional mobile development. If you are happy with the response above, you can select it as the best answer to close the thread. -Erlend
