Mobile App Builders

Learning to program is the most rewarding thing you can learn if you're interested in interactive media for any platform. It takes time, and you may move through various tools as your knowledge grows.

There are tools (game engines and frameworks) right now that let you code in C#, and are abstracted to the point that they convert your C# code to native .apk or xcode files for both android and iOS.

This was a pretty enlightening answer simply because it got me wondering. I have a few resources and future intent (paused until I leave active duty) to progress my development knowledge into C#. Currently looking to bring myself up to speed with Murach's C# 2010. Recommend any online resources for learning C#? Also, any good resources for mobile game engines/frameworks as well as mobile dev resources/communities? You sound like you have some knowledge, prying for some recommendations.
