This is my second blogpost of the week and the theme is still all around development. I know what some of you may be thinking: I thought this was a stream of consciousness, lifestyle, movie, psychology, design blog and now it's all about coding. Well, the issue is that the readers of this blog that think like that are wrong: this is an online journal of my explorations: a mirror into whatever is rushing through my mind being it deep or shallow.
This blogpost is about Apps, or better, about making apps. "There's an App for everything" Steve Jobs wanted us to think and so the smartphone generation thinks of functionality not in web terms, or software terms but as apps. "Oh I could create an App that does this and that and I would become so rich!". If I only had a penny for all the times I heard that and for all the times I thought that I would certainly be better off.
Reality is: not everybody can develop and people with only ideas will be always dependent on people who have the making skills. The recent history in the greatest start-ups is full of those pairings and also of stories where the pairing didn't work: Jobs and Wozniak joined to create Apple Inc. whether the Winklevoss twins never managed to get Zuckerberg to do their coding bidding.
Things are changing now though: there are many solutions online that allow people like me to develop apps and that's what I am going to do in the next weeks. I have got ideas and a good familiarity with personal computers and computer programming vocabulary. Will this be enough?
May the MIT App Inventor be with me.
