So, I've wanted to do some development in the mobile space for the last few years now, and always managed to put it off, change my mind over technology/platform etc, etc.
Well, I decided to go to a meetup a few weeks back. This was quite good as I was suddenly discussing things with other people actually doing something in the mobile space. This was from people with ideas to developers to people paying other developers to do the work.
The other part of the meeting was that everyone had to set a goal for the next meeting.
So, I've committed to releasing an app!
I've even got an idea - which is a minor miracle as I can never usually think of anything decent.
As I'm an Android owner, that's my target platform, and I'm going to a native app to get the experience of the process.
It's funny how the recommendations went on how to do it at the meeting.
All the devs were saying stuff like, go native or use a cross-platform framework, whilst all the non-techies were saying to contract the work out. I can see the point of contracting it out from a business point of view....but, I'm a dev and want to get my hands dirty and also get an appreciation of what's involved.
If it looks like it could work, then I might contract some work out later.
