Surprise! Fifteen ten-minute videos that make up an entire series on app development, from basic ideas to surviving in the market. Basically: everything except the code. But don't worry if it's the more "hard" computer science stuff you're looking for: The Basics returns in a couple of weeks...

This seems interesting. I've programmed all kinds of systems over the years, but, there's more to app development than just writing code, so I appreciate you taking the time to explain all in the ins and outs, excluding the coding portions. Thanks! :)

But despite that, and despite the fact that we never got to see that app, it was still a great series, and numbers aside I feel like this is some of your greatest work ever. Well done, Tom!

The song you used as a theme or were heavily inspired by througout the series drove me nuts. I knew it! from somewhere! I even tried one of those whistling song recognition apps, but to no avail. Then one day as I was listening to a 60s Playlist on Spotify: Catharsis! The song came blasting through the speakers: it is called "I'd love to change the World" from "Ten years after". Still listen to this song to this day, it's awesome, especially because I searched for it for a long time, and then, when I last expected it, it revealed itself, like the story with the butterfly.
