Overpass Apps: UK App Developers | I talk to a lot of app developers. But I seem to talk to a lot more people who are "developing an app." I'm always amazed at how many developers have never actually released an app to the app markets (and they may be VERY competent at coding one).
This week, I mention the Steve Jobs quote of "Real Artists Ship" and talk about how you are not really an app developer until you actually release an app to the open world - Eric

Hi, this is a minute of Overpass, my name is Eric and I make apps.
This week I wanna talk about why you're not an app developer until you've actually released an app.
I talk to a lot of different app developers. I talk to them through Mastermind groups, talk to them through email. A lot of app developers, we kind of get together and we discuss ideas, we talk about different ways we could improve things and stuff like that. However, I also talk to a lot of app developers who've never actually released an app and it's surprising how many there are. As a software developer, I kinda understand this, software developers, we get kind of a stage fright when it comes to going live. I'm the worst at this. When I've been working at like the investment banks or any of the big contracts that I've done in the past, we'd be working for months on a project and when it comes to the time to go live it's always like "I kinda like another week or like another two weeks" or whatever. And even if everything has been tested and everything is fine, you kinda got all these variables going on in your head like, what if the server goes wrong, or what if they don't deploy it right, or what if something else happens and there's loads of things that could go wrong. But the only way to really know specifically that everything is gonna work is to actually release.
And, this is something I noticed with app developers. We kinda get the same mentality - they'll develop but they don't actually release. And I'm very much prone to that way myself. It helps the fact that I commissioned apps to be developed too 'cause when I'm paying for the app to be developed, the last thing I want is for it to be sitting in development for another two weeks or six weeks, or whatever.
So this is one of the nice things about apps, is that they're small, they're easy to put out, they're easy to deploy but many people don't actually take it to that step. In fact, if you look at most of the computer books out there at the moment about building apps - if you wanna learn how to do an app, the world is your oyster because there are so many different books out there. However, they're all, and mean all of them, are very weak when it comes to actually taking your app and putting it on to Google Play or putting it on to iTunes. For some reason, there's like a big knowledge gap when it comes to that area in and in fact, working with outsourced developers, you would be surprised at how many people I know who have never actually - when you get to the part where you actually release the app, they don't even know how. They've never actually been through that process. So it's amazing.
