If you’re dreaming of creating the next Angry Birds or Facebook, here are 6 easy things you can
HTML
If youâre dreaming of creating the next Angry Birds or Facebook, here are 6 easy things you can do today to get started:
- Decide whether you want to do all the work yourself or if you want to outsource all or a portion of the development. Remember if you want to do it yourself youâre going to have to learn a good amount about a lot of things: writing software, testing software, graphic design, hosting, domain management, deployment, and testing to name a few.
-
Define the problem you want your application to solve - in other words, what does it do? How does it make the userâs life easier or more enjoyable? Who are the main users of this application? Doctors? Runners? Children? Retired people?
-
Draw a picture of your applicationâs main screens (what you want it to look like) - these can be rough drawings on a notebook or using a wire-framing tool like Balsamiq Mockups (our favorite). This picture will help guide you throughout the process and give you an idea of how much work it will take to complete it.
-
Write down the main functions you want the application to have - you can skip basic things like logging in, resetting passwords, etc., but you need to write down the tasks or functions you want a user to be able to perform using the application.
-
Think about the main components of the application - will it be an app that runs on someoneâs mobile device? Will it have be a website or web application? Or perhaps both? Does the application need to send email? Text messages? Push notifications? Write all these things down so you start to get a feel for the moving parts and pieces of the application.
-
Once youâve done the above, talk to 5 people (that you donât know) about the app, show them your picture, talk about the problem it solves, etc to get their feedback and suggestions.
That's it! One of the things this will do is help you consolidate your ideas and force you to get them down on paper. Remember just because someone says it's a great idea doesn't mean that they will buy it - we'll get to that in one of our course sessions.
I've got a couple more things to share with you before I open the course but thanks for sticking with me so far and I look forward to hearing from you.
Peter
