Webassembly OpenCV Apache Cordova

Learn to build mobile apps with our comprehensive course! This hands-on training guides you through creating Android apps using the powerful Apache Cordova multiplatform framework, all within a Linux environment. No need for bulky IDEs like Android Studio or Eclipse – we'll keep things lightweight and efficient. A basic understanding of web building skills is helpful.

Hardware Requirements: 2GB RAM, 16GB HDD, Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop.

Key Technologies Covered:

• Apache Cordova: Develop cross-platform mobile applications for iOS and Android from a single codebase.
• WebAssembly: Experience faster code execution directly in the web browser, enhancing app performance.
• OpenCV: Utilize the industry-leading Computer Vision Library for image and video processing.

What You'll Build: By the end of this course, you'll have a fully functional mobile app capable of detecting edges in a live video stream!
