Hello fellow warriors,

I've been wondering whether to learn how to develop mobile or web apps. I'll like to hear from you which one I can learn easily and move from there? And resources that are available to fast track the process

    Why don't you tell the people about your background first and maybe someone will guide you better.

    Mobile apps and mobile apps developer are always in demand and the demand continues to grow.

    If you are thinking of android instead of ios for apps development then the below is a good place to start:

    Best of luck!

      Thanks so much ashishthakkar
      I just developed an interest in web apps and really finding it difficult to get good developers to work with on my projects since I don't have the cash to outsource so I started thinking of learning it but fear the deep learning curve. Lol

    Well, in my opinion, mobile apps is the future now. Like how Google emphasize the importance of having a mobile optimized website.

    I would say web application development is more difficult than native mobile application counterpart for the following reasons.

    A typical end to end web developer needs to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, and some backend server-side framework like Django, Ruby on Rails, J2EE, .Net. While the mobile developer needs to know primarily Objective-C or Java.

    With those languages in hand the web developer will have to know lot of about the different behaviors across the many popular browsers like Firefox, IE, Chrome, and Safari including versions at least five years old.

    The web developer will have to be able to write highly scalable code that handles many concurrently users. Performance bottlenecks can effect the responsiveness of the website because all of the clients are sharing the same infrastructure. For mobile applications much of the code runs on the phone and does not affect the performance of other users.
