My daughter worked on a app before Christmas last year and it has actually made money(?).

It took four people working full-time, about four months to get the app from concept to published.

Startups 101: a course in ensuring that your demos work. instructor Arthur Fuller, who has made 1K+ mistakes and can therefore speak with something approaching prescience.

Course One is free.

Lesson 1: Make absolutely sure that your demos work on any and all supported platforms. A the very least, you need a bare-metal build box on every platform you allege to support. VMs will not do; to much ancillary baggage; boxes are dirt-cheap and if you profess to offer a solution, the least you can do is prove it.

Lesson 2: If your app depends upon any other software, make an image of your OS and any dependent software so that you can fry the test machine(s) and reconstruct them to their virgin state.

Lessons 3-10 cost money. But they are invaluable.

Arthur
