5 Ways to 
Level Up Your 
Mobile Development

Being a successful developer can mean many things. You may want your apps to be used by many people—often, and with pleasure, surprise, and delight. You may also be looking to level-up your career or to teach others. Heck, you might even want to podcast about development. So, how do you get into the position to be successful?

This talk takes a look at techniques to level-up your mobile toolchain. I like to say it takes more than just code to make an app. In some ways, you need to be a multipotentialite. We’ll look at how you can use aspects of several sciences and best practices to tool-up for success. We’ll cover the reasons that make products successful, how to create a community, why it’s important to give back, and how to decide what to include (and what to cut). On the coding side, we’ll look at strategies for good code, technical debt, and project management. We’ll even look at brain science to find out how to retain all of this info and the skills you’ll need to be a success.
