How exactly do developers weigh the benefits of certain coding languages? BusinessOfApps has a fascinating guide we’ll take a quick overview of this Monday before looking at the hottest gaming genres in China during this time of growth!

New ideas for apps are thought up every day, and while many developers may have spent last Thursday discussing why their aunt’s idea for an app wasn’t feasible or realistic, many ideas are worth exploring. One of the first questions to answer in that process? How to code your app!
