The mobile scene is a safe haven for developers because of the staggering numbers in terms of user adoption and the relative ease of publishing work, as compared to other platforms like desktops or consoles.
Creative minds are attracted to smartphone app development because they are free to create and bring to life the ideas they have that can change the world, or at least distract you for minutes at a time. It also pulls in a lot of entrepreneurs who know that money just flows in when you’re an app developer.
