Myth Number 1

You should be a CS student.

Myth Number 2

You should have knowledge of mobile development and related practices before joining MDG.

Myth Number 3

Android needs JAVA knowledge, iOS needs Swift or Objective C knowledge. But I was only taught C++.

Shit, yaha bhi kat gaya mera

Reality

Having knowledge about development beforehand is a plus, as it will boost your learning experience.

Nevertheless it is not a problem the other way around.
