Event Overview

Do you want to create a mobile app but have no idea where to start? Have you been searching for a "technical co-founder" but feel like developers speak a different language?

This class will teach you, step by step, how to get an app in the app store, no programming knowledge required.

I'll be your guide into the app world.

I believe that anyone can create a mobile application, but sometimes it's hard to know exactly where to start. I know, I've been there. After trying and failing numerous programming books, video courses, online tutorials and an NYU iPhone class, I figured out exactly what non-programmers need to know in order to create their first mobile application.

The format of this class is a workshop—you should come to class with an idea and class time will be spent actually applying my methods to your app.

Topics Covered:

- Elements of a successful app
- User experience (UX)
- User interface (UI)
- Learning how to think like a developer
- Drawing the perfect mockups and wireframes
- Finding an app developer
- APIs, data collection, and marketing
- Outsourcing your programming

After this class, you'll understand how to:

- Develop a mobile app, from idea to .ipa
- Create mockups and wireframes, no design experience required
- Speak intelligently to developers
- Find a freelance coder without creating a bidding war
- Determine advanced topics for further studies
