Book Description
CREATE AND LAUNCH YOUR APP IDEA IN NO TIME, WITH NO CODE This book is for marketers, creative designers, and entrepreneurs who want to build an app for iOS, Android, or the web without writing a line of code. Today, app development is easier than ever. This is a new era, where you can get your idea off the ground in 1-5 days instead of 3 months. Are you an entrepreneur, creative artist, or marketer with a software idea? If so, this ebook is for you. It outlines 7 steps to build, release, and scale your app for a large audience. You'll have your own platform running in a fraction of the time and at a fraction of the cost that it takes to pay a developer. This approach is more lean, agile, and rapid. You probably don't need to learn Javascript, Objective-C, Python, or any other programming language, and you don't need to find anybody who programs either. All you need is a creative idea and the discipline to see it through. Think of yourself as a home builder and general contractor, rather than an architect. This ebook is jam-packed with resources, tools, and next steps to get you started in no time, with no code. The goal is to keep it as simple as possible. Read this ebook quickly, and start developing your ideas right away. Author Evan Drake is a digital marketer living in Silicon Valley.
