SINGING LESSONS:
- Building an app is almost like building a house. You have to design what you want.
- The challenge is how to limit your goal so it is possible and doesn’t burn you out.
- Try to cut it into a few releases. The first being a basic version of the software and then you can see what other people think of it, take suggestions, make it better and keep evolving.
- Focus is the key to learn productively.
- In making an app, there is the programming part, you need coding skills and there’s also the design part, which includes the user interface.
- Another part of it is the skill of project management. It’s really important to pace yourself. Break the work down and also write down your ideas to keep them organized. You don’t want to keep stuff in your head because that is going to take up your mental effort and drain your energy. Keep your ideas and plans in an app.
- It’s like running a marathon, you have to pace yourself.
