Trends in mobile development

Ideas on how you should structure your software architectures are changing at an even faster pace than ever. Clearly, the technology is becoming more complex, and there are plenty of things to look at.

From the perspective of mobile developers, there are mobile platforms themselves, with new capabilities added with every new operating system version, but there are other areas to keep an eye on, most of which are relevant for each type of application, not just mobile ones.

Think about the exploding world of artificial intelligence (AI) with new releases and features popping up almost every week, the continuous switch toward cloud-based infrastructures, and the myriad of cloud and REST services (or APIs) you can integrate with to build your applications faster. Even the space of games development, which is a significant part of the mobile app business, is continuously evolving with new libraries and trends.
