Majority of developers have never built mobile apps, survey reveals

In recent years, one can be forgiven for thinking that mobile apps are the only pathway to the future, and that everyone in IT has been making the shift away from traditional server or PC applications to mobile apps -- many of which allegedly can be built and deployed at the snap of a finger.
