Talk delivered by Leonid Kholkine

Transcript

1. >> from idea import reality Leon Head of Engineering @ Tonic App
2. Who am I? >> Believe that we are still at 0.01% potential of technology >> A lazy type of engineer >> Love photography >> Ran a marathon >> I code stuff @ tonic app
3. What are we talking about today? 1. “I have an idea for a product, what do I do?” 2. “Cool! But I don’t think that exact idea works :(“ 3. “OMG! That’s the one! What’s next?“
4. “Tonic App aggregates your most useful medical tools and has a secure case discussion platform. “
5. ” You know what could be great? It’s that if I could have all the medical calculators in a mobile app! ” - A Medical Doctor
6. 1. “I have an idea for a product, what do I do?”
7. >> MVP
8. MV - Whut?! Minimum Viable Product “Version of a new product which allows a team to collect the maximum amount of validated learning about customers with the least effort” -- Lean Startup
10. ” You know what could be great? It’s that if I could have all the medical calculators in a mobile app! ” - A Medical Doctor
11. MV - Whut?! >> Three simple calculators >> Simplest mobile design we could think >> Log user actions
12. MV - Whut?! >> Three simple calculators >> Simplest mobile design we could think >> Log user actions … One week & engineer later ...
14. Lesson Learned >> Due to the nature of python, you can write code faster;
15. public class Employee { private String myEmployeeName; private int myTaxDeductions = 1; private String myMaritalStatus = "single"; //--------- constructor #1 ------------- public Employee(String EmployeName) { this(employeeName, 1); } //--------- constructor #2 ------------- public Employee(String EmployeName, int taxDeductions) { this(employeeName, taxDeductions, "single"); } //--------- constructor #3 ------------- public Employee(String EmployeName, int taxDeductions, String maritalStatus) { this.employeeName = employeeName; this.taxDeductions = taxDeductions; this.maritalStatus = maritalStatus; } ... class Employee(): def __init__(self, employeeName , taxDeductions=1 , maritalStatus="single" ): self.employeeName = employeeName self.taxDeductions = taxDeductions self.maritalStatus = maritalStatus ...
16. Lesson Learned >> Due to the nature of python, you can write code faster; >> The learning curve is not that big for someone with software engineering experience;
17. 2. “Cool! But I don’t think that exact idea works :(”
19. “Python is the swiss army knife of programming languages”
20. 3. “OMG! That’s one! What’s next?”
21. What’s next? >> Develop further your idea! >> Hire software engineers >> Ramp-up the engineers into your project
22. What’s next? >> Develop further your idea! >> Hire software engineers >> Ramp-up the engineers into your project >> Python is easy to learn (bigger pool of talent) >> Python is easy to read (faster ramp-up)
23. Medical Calculators @ Tonic App >> Calculator engine >> Analytics >> Tests >> Indexed >> And many more feature to come
24. "Python where we can, C++ where we must"
25. "Python where we can, C++ where we must" @ Google
