Asked by TechNinja42
I'm aiming to become a full-stack mobile app developer and want to create apps for both Android and iOS to publish them. Can anyone suggest the skills I should prioritize learning first? I'm also curious if Flutter or React Native is a better choice for this journey. Additionally, what backend skills are essential for a full-stack developer? I'm looking for a straightforward and practical learning path. Thanks!

Honestly, if you're just focusing on mobile development, becoming a full-stack developer might be overkill. My friend builds apps exclusively with React Native, and it works great for him. While knowing backend tech can add value, it isn't strictly necessary. I suggest getting a job in mobile development first and learning what you need as you go.

I highly recommend going with React Native. It's easy to transition to web development if you ever want to branch out. Flutter is a solid choice too, but it requires a good grasp of Dart, which might slow you down at first if you want to prioritize speed in development.

Consider these options: Kotlin is fantastic for Android native apps and performs really well. React Native is built on React and has a big community, making it easier to find help. Flutter is also great for cross-platform development and has gained a lot of traction.
