OTHER FREE OR CHEAP TOOLS
There are a lot of development tools available now
Some free, some cheap, some not so much…
Some are platform specific, others are cross-platform
Many of these are HTML5 based and utilize mobile browsers to be platform independent
Others “compile” for different platforms and utilize their own proprietary “language”
