Develop apps

Learn how to develop your own Java and Android applications that use the Kentico Kontent APIs to retrieve and manage Content as a Service.

Learn the basics

If you're new to the world of Content as a Service, it can help to take some time to understand what it's all about and test out the basic functions.

• Watch a video about adopting the right mindset to work with an API-first CMS.
• Watch a video about what structured content is and why you should structure all your content.
• See how to build a simple Hello World website in 5 minutes.
• Test out the APIs with the Kentico Kontent Postman collection.

Start building apps

Once you know the basics, you can start creating your own applications.

• Start by running one of our sample applications to see Kentico Kontent features in action.
• Use the Java model generator to create strongly typed models for your app.

See what else is available

Once you know what you're doing, you'll want to see what else is possible for your development.

• Test the APIs directly by seeing how to get content whatever its form. Work with multiple languages, various relationships, and different structures.

• Check out our Java and Android SDKs for retrieving published content: the Delivery JavaRx (Android) SDK and the Delivery Java SDK.

• See how to integrate with other services to build out capabilities. Content as a Service is ideal for a microservices architecture, so you'll want to know how to add in other services to your solution.
