Overview
This course is designed to teach what technology makes sense for early/ MVP stage, late stage and scaling in terms of infrastructure, stack, UX/UI, mobile and backend. During product development it is fundamentally important to have the ability to understand the difference between iOS and Android, xCode and Swift, Java and Objective-c, UX from UI, POP and Invision, CSS and CMS, Github and SourceForge, and PHP and Ruby on Rails. You will need someone in your team who knows how to set it all up, maintain it and keep an eye on it. Some specific applications will have some specific needs but that’s something the founders should know anyway.
