2016 was a year of rapid growth in mobile technology, and it’s important to take a hard look back. The 2016 mobile development Technology Tour of @Mobile Development Front carefully takes stock of the big events of mobile development technology in 2016. It is divided into iOS/Android platform, iOS/Android development technology, cross-platform technology (React Native, Weex, wechat applet), hot industry technology (live broadcast, VR/AR) and so on. It is worth reading. In addition, @DeveloperTiao has published a list of top 10 must-read articles for iOS developers and top 10 must-read articles for Java/Android developers, if you’re interested.
