Here is the first of (hopefully) quite a few lessons learnt - so one day when I am rich and a poster-boy for the start-up community I can use them to give an inspiring speech. And then all the hot babes at the speech (there is always at least one, although maybe after consuming a few free beers first) will want me.
From my mobile app development oddyssey I have relearnt that the tech is there.
Having spent an IT career successfully avoiding any coding now that I am in a startup there is no one around to write the code we need.
But no one will give us money, even seed money, without some sort of prototype.
So I had to roll up my sleeves and do it. Not easy as learning Java, or even JavaScript, isn't a quick activity. But eventually I found appery.io which I can relatively quickly use to create a prototype.
Now it ain't - or won't be after the trial period - free but it cheaper than hiring a bunch of developers just to write a prototype.
The products from this appery.io service is a little bit clunky but it is good enough.
If you need to do something the technology is there - quite probably free or cheap and relatively easy to use - at least in the early stages.
