Few weeks ago I had written a post on ways to learn Android programming for free, which was a success, and so today I have decided to write about how much amount of salary you can earn as an Android Programmer in 2015 and later.
The piece I wrote on top framework for android app development was also well received, but I guess some people mainly college grads are still finding it confusing, whether to choose their career in Android development or not. Looking at the top programming languages to learn in 2015 might help us make a better decision, but the fact is that programming in Android is extremely worth it, and hence you can begin learning it the right away.
The mobile world has created revolution in past few years, with the evolution of Android and iOS platforms and is still constantly growing. It is estimated that by the end of 2015 the number of mobile phones on Earth will exceed than humans on the earth! In the middle of this ever-expanding mobile industry, dwells the mighty Android.
