As we are in the 21st Century, we are surrounded by a web network of new technologies and software. There are about 700 Programming languages in the field of Information Technology created by software engineers and are used further to create different software, applications, web pages, and many other AI technologies. Here, I will tell you Xamarin, which was written in C# programming language, and ReactJS, which was created using Javascript Programming language, how to get certified in these Programming Courses, along with the prerequisites and requirements before enrolling in it. Before that, let’s know,

What is Certification in IT?

Certification is a formally designated credential earned by an individual that verifies their legitimacy and competence to perform a work in IT (Information Technology). It is typically a document stating that a professional has been trained, educated, and is prepared to meet a specific set of criteria for a role. It is awarded by a recognized third-party credentialing institution only after you’ve passed a course.

A brief on Xamarin Certification

Xamarin, a San Francisco-based software company founded in the year 2011, and is owned by the tech giant Company Microsoft Corporation. It is an open-source platform for building Android, iOS, and Windows applications with .NET with native API access. It is an abstraction layer that manages the communication of shared code with underlying platform code and runs in a controlled environment that provides convenience. It also enables developers to share about 90% of their applications across different platforms. Using this, applications are written on PC or Mac, further compiled into native application packages like .apk and .ipa extensions.

Certification: Due to its high efficiency and features, more than 10 million people enrolled and got certified in Xamarin Programming courses. To get certified as a Xamarin Application Developer, you have to enroll at the Xamarin University. You have to learn to develop cross-platform mobile apps with Microsoft’s Xamarin platform. After learning the cross-platform mobile apps development with Xamarin, you have to appear in the certification examination to get a Professional Xamarin Application Developer certification.

But before enrolling in this course, you should ensure that you are fulfilling all the following criteria-

• Prerequisites: Before enrolling in this course, you should have some significant knowledge about C# Programming language and object-oriented programming concepts.

• System Requirements:

1. macOS: OS X Yosemite (10.10) or higher
2. Windows: Windows 7 or higher (Window 8 to 10 is recommended for better performance), 2 GB RAM or higher

• Software Requirements:

1. macOS: Apple X Code, Visual Studio for Mac, Android SDK (Software Development Kit), Lab file bundle provided with the course
2. Windows: Visual Studio 2012 Professional or higher (Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019 is highly recommended), Xamarin tools, and Android SDK, which are available as a part of Visual Studio Installation, lab file bundle provided with the course.

 

A Short Note on React JS Certification

It is an open-source, efficient, flexible front-end JS (JavaScript) Library used for building UI components or User Interface Components, specifically for single-page applications. React or React JS was created by Jorden Walke in the year 2013 and is maintained by Facebook and the community of Individual developers. This programming language is one of the most widely used programming languages. It allows developers to create large web applications that can change data without reloading the page. React JS applications are made up of multiple components, of which each component is outputting a small, reusable piece of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) code.

It runs using a virtual DOM (Document Object Model) based mechanism to fill data in HTML DOM, which works fast. It only changes individual DOM elements instead of reloading the complete DOM. Now let’s know How to become a certified React JS developer.

Certification: React JS is included in the list of the most vital skills required for a web developer. Compared to other programming languages and Frameworks, React JS is relatively easy to learn if you have a basic knowledge of JavaScript. Millions of people join React JS courses to learn and become a certified React Js Developer.

To get certification in this programming language, you must enroll in a React JS Course for about 3-6 months. At last, you have to appear in an examination that includes different tasks, including. After you complete the React JS and master the course, you will get the React JS certification.

Same as other Programming language courses, you should have the following prerequisite knowledge and the requirements for React JS before learning React JS or enrolling in the course-

• Prerequisites: Experience with building front-end web applications with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

• System Requirements:

1. Web: Google Chrome Browser
2. iPhone Or iPad: iOS 11 or higher
3. Android: Android version 7 or higher (Both mobile and tablet are compatible)
4. Windows: i)Windows 7 or higher

1. ii) Processor frequency of 1.8 GHz or higher

iii) 4 GB RAM or more

1. iv) 75 MB of available disk space

• Software Requirements:

1. React and React DOM
2. Node JS and NPM
3. Web pack
4. Babel

Wrapping up all the topics, the two (Xamarin and React JS) mentioned above are helpful for various purposes, including application development for iOS, Android, and Windows operating systems. Both have different requirements according to their performances and different uses, but both are being used to develop our society and for many other technological-based projects. Learning Programming languages is one of the best choices for those who love computer and IT. They get a vast scope for getting jobs ranging from IT departments to Giant Software Companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. And if you are also an IT freak and want to learn and develop applications, then it’s your choice; which one will you choose? What type of Application do you want to Develop?
