530 PointsIs web development still there or should I move to mobile app development?
I'm between web development and mobile app development. One friend told me the web is dead and I should learn mobile app development nowadays. Is that true?
Thanks

It is true, however, that both the demand and average salaries for mobile app developers is a bit higher at the moment. But some speculate that HTML5 mobile application development may overtake native apps in the near future, and a solid set of web development skills would prepare you well to take advantage of this trend.
