Droidcon India 2013

To be successful in the App Economy you need to be more than just an app developer. Right from the stage of ideation to distribution we need to start wearing different hats to make sure our App becomes a great and successful product.

Outline

We as developers build what we build our apps using a developer mindset, always starting arrays at 0, using recursion, writing equations like X+=10. These would confuse a layman. Yet we make apps for the same layman. The same mindset also boxes us in during the development of an app. We sometimes don’t think like our enduser,or like a marketer or a finance person. Some of us are consumed by our passion for engineering which at times hampers how the users sees and uses the app.Building a sucessfull app requires us to wear various hats during the entire life of our app.
