Four entrepreneurs come together to discuss their individual journeys from inspiration and idea to the process of building an app and establishing their new enterprise.
Each developer is at a vastly different stage of the process with some still in the research phase and others just about to launch. This conversation explores their journey, the lessons they have learned and the skills they have had to develop along the way.
A must have session for anyone who has ever through that they wanted to develop their own app.
