Within mobile development there are many different ways to develop them.
You can start with just building web apps. Then move to likes of Cordova/ Phonegap if you need additional functionality. You've then got native where you have the full coding experience for when you need it.
NativeScript (and Xamarin) sit between that advanced web app (Cordova/ Phonegap) and true native. Adventures in Angular has a Podcast here
