In this webinar, we are going to take a look at the different mobile platforms to build business apps and we are going to focus on one in particular, and that is Windows 8. Windows 8 launched almost a year ago and in the near future, it’ll start playing an important role in business app development. The video recording is available at http://gicl.me/13iHpk7

confused.

6. 6
Is mobile something I
should stay up for?
Or is it all over-hyped?

So apps are targeted
at the consumer.

My business will
never need an app.

It’s only a small
app, right?

39. 41
Misconceptions around apps
 “Apps are small”
- Apps are part of a bigger entity
 Can be a stand-alone entity as well
 “Apps are islands, they don’t need to interact with all kinds of software and
services”
 “An app is something we create while we have nothing else going on”
 “Once released, they’re in the store/privately deployed so we’re finished”
- Apps need maintenance
- Consumers might be an even more demanding group to deal with
 Apps require careful planning and UX interaction
- Developers aren’t always up-to-speed with the guidelines and the different form
factors
