Re: Need advice - Mobile App Development

I forgot to respond with my list of resources that I promised, doh.

http://www.marcallanmiller.com/2013/08/01/my-collection-of-awesome-ios-sites-that-helped-me-greatly/

And that's enough iOS info for a Java list, eh? You can still write all your backend services in Java.  :-) 

And on another note everyone will now know my real name, but I still go by Briggs.

I was using AppCode from JetBrains from time to time but, I just stuck with Apple's stuff because it's easier to ask questions on the Apple forums rather than jumping around to multiple places. But, if you use IntelliJ, AppCode is quite nice and I believe it's only $99 (personal license). Xcode is free. You'll still need Xcode (GUI tools aren't implemented in AppCode) installed to use AppCode.

I have been asked to bring myself up to speed on building mobile apps (iOS and Android) for my company. I need your input on what training courses are available that you think will be really useful for me to learn this new skill and if there are certain books/software you would recommend as well. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. Thanks in advance.
