    There are loads of websites that let you put together mobile apps online very easily but the problem is, what exactly are you trying to do. An app has to have a purpose, and learning about the purpose is the real problem. E.g. you could easily put together a betting app for paddy power online, but how do you learn betting logic?

    Depends on your skill level and what path you want to take to learning.
    If you've done a bit of programming before you could start with the NewBoston
    https://www.thenewboston.com/videos.php?cat=278

    If you are totally new to programming then have a look as the cs50 course from Harvard on edx

    Phonegap and Cordova apps are based on html and JavaScript

    They create 'apps' using HTML wrappers. They're just mini websites.

    The idea is not to create 'mini websites'. There's a bit more to it than just applying a small screen size CSS layout....

    Check out untappd for example.

    The new Boston is where I learned android so I'd have to endorse that recommendation by the Cuban.

    Udemy have a range of courses across multiple fields. Hint: the paid courses are better quality than free ones. They're generally cheap enough though (say 50 euro).

    And this is why you shouldn't use Phonegap and Cordova.

    In fairness, they might be 'mini websites' but they also have access to the local APIs for the device which gives them much more power.
