Hey!

Let me preface this by saying I don't do back-end dev work, mostly light front-end and primarily design, but I know there are some good resources on Lynda.com, teamtreehouse.com or generalassemb.ly. Some of these options you have to pay for, but it's cheaper than going to a college. You can always go the youtube route which has a good amount of content to learn from.

Hope that helps!

Hi!

Great question...this is something I come across all the time. To app, or not to app? The truth is, a lot of companies (in my opinion) create apps when it's not necessary. If they had a great responsive site that does the same thing as the app, the app isn't necessary. As far as apps replacing websites, I don't really see that happening. What I feel like I actually see happening is websites are becoming "app-like" in the way they function because of how many people are using their phones to view websites. I believe that both apps and responsive sites will continue to coexist for a long time.
