For app dev for mobile, if you're looking to go into Android development, you definitely want to look into Java as this is what Android apps are coded in. If you're looking to develop for iphone, you'll want to look into obj-C, although I personally hate this language. For game development, C/C++ is typically used for the underlying game engine if you're looking at the lower-level aspects of it like the physics engine. So for game dev, look into C++ I'd say, and for mobile dev I'd look into Java, both are fun languages, however C++ definitely has a steeper learning curve.
