I'd like to build a mobile application for a personal side project, but I've never done any app development before. I don't really care which platform I use. I'm just looking for the one that will be the fastest and easiest to pickup. There seems to be a lot of disagreement on the web so I thought I'd ask here.
The core parts of the app will be parsing a QR code and accessing GPS to relay the user's location.
If it is at all relevant, I have a MS in mechanical engineering and I've done a fair amount of C++ and Python coding for other projects. I would say I'm probably just past the beginner stage for HTML/CSS/jQuery, but not comfortable enough to go write a web app without a lot of questions.

Thanks in advance for input.
