So you wanna make a mobile app? Excellent! Welcome to the exciting world of app development!
There are a lot of great reasons to create your own app. Perhaps you have a killer idea or a need which no one has created an app to fulfill.
Perhaps you’ve heard of the large sums of money independent developers have earned in just months, with just a few employees.
The 13 employees at Instagram shared a $100 million stake when Instagram was bought by Facebook.
Donkey Kong Country (DKC) was released on November 21, 1994 for the Super Nintendo system. I bought it the week it was released and was absolutely enthralled.
One level in particular, “Snow Barrel Blast” still stands out in my mind as perhaps the perfect combination of beautiful graphics, fabulous level design, spot-on gameplay, and rich, atmospheric music.
I’m incredibly surprised that one of the most enjoyable development tasks for our upcoming iOS app has been localization.

Stay tuned.

It was a great choice to pull off some of the eye candy, but integrating native iOS views (like the tableview and carousel) proved to be a tricky marriage between two different methodologies.
Every blog has to start somewhere. This is my small beginning. This blog will present the personal side to my journey as an entrepreneur. Here I give the straight, behind-the-scenes stories.
My wife Jill and I dove headlong into pursuing our business ventures full-time. No more cush job to support us. We are all in and determined to succeed no matter what.
People ask if I am scared. The truth is, no. I’m not.
What I was really afraid of was getting to the end of my life and realizing that I had never lived, never known what we could have truly achieved if we had faced our fears.
This past month has been a slow start, but we’re in motion now. We’re in the water. We’re starting to swim — not just tread water, and it feels amazing!
