I'm planning a web API which will be used by browsers/JavaScript and Android App (open to other potential clients too).
While I read there are many benefits in using ServiceStack vs WCF, I'm not sure if it is still better option now that we have ASP.NET WebAPI.
I found this question where ServiceStack author compares it to WCF but says that "WebApi is different to WCF in that it encourages REST-ful API design."
So, is ServiceStack still a better option over ASP.NET WebAPI, and why?
Also, how ServiceStack fits into OWIN/Katana story?

While most articles and posts I have been through discuss about Native vs Xamarin or Native vs Hybrid(Phonegap) I searched around and very few with Xamarin and Phonegap.
Me and a group of my friends are developing a photo-sharing app of sorts and we want it to be cross platform. But we're stuck with the dilemma of going with Phonegap or Xamarin.
While price-wise both are free(except for iOS development) and we're familiar with the languages and technologies used by both, we're at a stalemate arguing on points such as;
Developer support
API availability
Ability to debug and update easily.
Whichever platform which delivers the best of all of this is what we hope to go with.

Presently I work on a legacy application which has a Flex UI and ORM hibernate, SQL Server database. This application is heavily dependent on xml and database. It does have serious performance issues while fetching the data and rendering it on flex UI.
Two frameworks topped the search are Grails and Play. There are plenty of discussions on their differences and which one is better. But I could not find any comparison in the recent times. Which one looks good in 2014?
Is there any other framework which can be considered? Like Spring MVC.
Note: This may not be a coding problem but I would really like to have opinion of people who code.

I would like to know what is the different between CodeIgniter and Zend MVC Framework in regarding to coding style?
e.g. Retrieving/Inserting values in the database etc.
The concept are similar but the coding style is different:
Zend Framework uses both table gateway pattern and row gateway pattern but CodeIgniter only uses the later.
If you are asking about the conventions used in naming variables and methods then Zend is different from CodeIgniter. Therefore the coding style are not the same!
Hope it helps!

Everybody who have experiences can suggest me which ways should I do?:
Develop the Front-End first Or Develop the Back-End first
Or give more tips on the start up project?

I usually start with the backend to get the major functionality implemented, but even so, it's pretty much inevitable that the frontend and backend will have to be developed at the same time at some point in the project.
People can say what they want about separating presentation and functionality, and that's a good principle, but the reality is that the presentation influences the functionality and vice versa.
You might get the backend mostly written, and then you make the frontend, but you will probably decide to change some things and end up working on both together.
