A Developer's Journey

Infographics are great for quickly being able to parse and understand complex data. In this particular infographic, VisionMobile gives you a glance at the journey of the mobile developer from the very beginning with the platform selection process, to the end goal of monetization.

It also examines other aspects of the journey, including the learning curves for various mobile platforms (Android has the lowest learning curve and Symbian the highest), the development pain points for given platforms (Symbian, Android and Blackberry have slow-starting emulators, for example), the best features of certain platforms (Android and Java have low-cost development tools) the primary channels to market, time to market and more.
