A true story from a medical doctor on a
deep dive into mobile development

6. I want to create a mobile app!
That is usually the one-liner that starts it off
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

7. Why? How? What? When?
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

8. Why?
The first question to start off with!
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

9. Why?
Why do you want to create this mobile app?
To solve Problem X/everyone has one!
Are there any existing solutions which solve
this problem better?
If not, move one step forward
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

10. How?
Now, this is quite a tricky question!
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

11. How?
Please tell me…...

12. Step 1:
Wireframe and Prototype!
You can use paper too.
Vision and imagination is a must.

18. Step 2:
Research and Develop
You can start off with Google. NOT
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

19. Research and Develop - 4 set of questions
Native? Web? Hybrid?
Android? iOs? Windows Phone? All of them
Phones? Tablets? or maybe both!
and most importantly...
What are the main features that I want to
include in the first version of the app?
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

20. Myself or Someone Else?
Why even bother going through the first
steps if someone else is doing it for me?
#mobiledev #hopstartups | Hop Lublin Meetup #5 | @karambinu

You’re the courageous one!
