Can you really make a full time income from Adsense or affiliate marketing?

Yes, you definitely can. And if you're extremely good at it, you can bring in executive-level pay as well, depending on the niche and verticals you are in (and your ability to negotiate better rev share with networks). Even though things are getting more and more competitive now that Google has tightened the noose industry-wide, the onset of mobile and apps has made things a whole new world of opportunities.

At my current job, we deal with over 250M unique user a month through millions of domains/zero-click redirects, many of which lead to adsense or lead-gen type landing pages. May publishers monetize this through the ways you are referring to. And anecdotal insights from my friends (and people at conferences like Affiliate Summit) will just show you that people are indeed making good money from this type of marketing.

What tools to use for mobile Prototyping ?

I also would recommend @AlexJubien's advice about familiarizing yourself with different types of wireframing and prototyping.

PhoneGap would be used for producing real consumable software by users/test users (from your original question, for your 'implementation" phase). Sure you can generate high-fidelity prototypes with it, but that would be similar to building out a full website just to test or validate an idea.

If you need something to simply test out your idea and show users what your concept is like, you can go with something as simple as Balsamiq or Omnigraffle for basic wireframing and click-flows, or something more highly interactive/hi-fidelity via Axure or an online prototyping such as Proto.io or Fluid.ui which would allow you to drag and drop UI elements (similar to Balsamiq) but also export your prototype for interactions with your users on desktop and mobile (e.g. https://showcase.proto.io/share/?id=c86aa62b-21b6-4c9f-9eff-acf7896a2368&v=6). Another level of prototypes would be click-flows with a service like Invisionapp.com using actual designed pages (e.g. screenshots, PSD exports, etc) of your site with hotspots linked to give your users an idea of general flow and functionality of your product.

I think that's the general misconception about wireframing and prototyping, and learning more about that will give you some valuable insights about what you need in order to validate your product and help with building it.

Viet's entrepreneurial spirit and get-it-done attitude is refreshing in the landscape of me-too's. If you look past his congenial and optimistic attitude, you'll also find the pure raw talent that centers his drive. Viet's both a gifted designer with a great eye AND a talented web developer - an interdisciplined perspective that is rare to find.

Viet is one of the most talented people I have met to date, in not just one aspect, but several: design, programming, creative thinking, and entrepreneurship. I have admired Viet's work ethic and his talent for making things happen as he established his own design & development firm. He puts all his effort to a project regardless of the size or budget, with an end result always being very impressive. In all honesty, he is the person with the most brilliant ideas I have ever met, a constant flow of creativity defines Viet.

Viet understand the webspace very well. He's got the best of both worlds, he's a great programmer, using clean code, using templates engines, and he's also a great designer, create comps for websites in photoshop. He was also really fast at cutting up comps, turning it to html. He's also got really good client side programming, doing some really cool stuff with CSS and javascript.
He's got great ideas for products he's developed, robust enough to do some tough processing as well as flexible and aesthetically pleasing.
