Stefan?


It shouldn’t be like this!A true story from a medical doctor on a

deep dive into mobile development


I want to create a mobile app!That is usually the one-liner that starts it off


Why? How? What? When?


Why?The first question to start off with!


Why?

Are there any existing solutions which solve this problem better?

To solve Problem X/everyone has one!

If not, move one step forward

Why do you want to create this mobile app?


How?Now, this is quite a tricky question!


How?Please tell me…...


Step 1:Wireframe and Prototype!

You can use paper too. Vision and imagination is a must.


You can start off from something like this...


Then this...


and then maybe this...

What tools do I use?


Step 2:Research and DevelopYou can start off with Google. NOT


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?


Myself or Someone Else?Why even bother going through the first steps if someone else is doing it for me?


Aha!You’re the courageous one!


Are you ready to?

● Spend time and money?● Go through a bit of a rollercoaster ride

(varying from pure frustration to explosive joy)

● Make the world a little bit better?
