You can also try on xda.
Questions I have are what is the source format? And what is the end goal.
There are a number of eBook readers that seem to me to have much of this

It always amazes me that these discussions inevitably devolve into arguments
about the tools.
When people discuss new features for cars, like switching to hybrid or electic

To clarify you are seeing a trend towards browser based mobile apps?

Delphi is just as easy to use as VB, if not easier.
Have you looked at it lately?
It’s just not considered “mainstream” any longer.
People say, “Oh, is THAT still around?”
Yup. Check it out.

I've looked at it several times. Each time the price goes up. $4,150
is a little pricey for me.

I think you're mostly right but missing the larger point here. Mobile
platforms aren't like their much more open desktop brethren. In the world
of mobile you more or less get the tool chain provider by the vendor (Java,
Objective-C or Swift) for native apps. While I expect professional

developing small company database applications.
The problem is it was a niche skill

I understand your point, Keith, but even though Android uses Java, and Java IS
considered “mainstream”, that does not seem to be translating into making it
easy(er) to find Android mobile developers, is it?
The ones out there ARE getting top-dollar, as well as iOS developers.

It has been estimated that their software development tools division alone

Your CIO example was not lost on me. I get it. I'm focusing on the
market and how it effects my ability to make a living as a freelance
developer. For me it is about demand/compensation, is the projected
life cycle long enough to make it worth while making the necessary
investment of time
Thanks for your insights, Paul.

Hi Paul,
One would think that Andriod programming is going to be with us for
year... decade at least. However that begs the question, what do you
(or anyone else) think the long term demand will be? Increasing or
decreasing?
Is there any barriers to entry like a nasty learning curve?
Yeah, but Paul with oDesk, it's a 1099 situation:)
So, depending on the consultant, could be more!

This is a probably a longer and more involved conversation than you think.
There's a few primary factors in supply and demand for app developers:
