Retrospective

Several years ago I formed a company to execute on software ideas of personal interest. One of those - Job Agent - has shipped for both iOS and Android users and it's time to share the experience.

Job Agent arose naturally from circumstances of the time.

I often advise people to learn development through a project with personal meaning. Having personal motivation helps to overcome technical challenges and with good product design. So if you like games - develop a game, if you like sports - develop a sports app. If you're looking to change jobs, develop a job search app.

Ideally, Job Agent will make loads of money, but the original goals are more modest - learn native mobile development and the full product lifecycle. Achievement unlocked!
