Mobile App Development
Do you know that there is an increase in the number of
teenage mobile app developers? Several big
companies are encouraging the efforts of these young developers irrespective of
their age and education. In 2012, a teenager based in California developed a
mobile app for the Home Depot in a contest and won $10,500, which impressed a
Facebook official and the company offered internship for her. Nearly seven
months back, Yahoo bought a news-reading app, 'Summly' from a 12-year-old
British teenager for tens of millions of dollars. The company also employed him
and is planning to incorporate his algorithmic invention in its own mobile apps.
Entrepreneurial spirit is a precious gift indeed -
something that combines passion, confidence, positivity and ambition. A real
entrepreneur is not daunted by the prospect of failure and is willing to
embrace both highs and lows with the same positive spirit. It is remarkable
that the younger generation, the architects of the future have this fire in
them to contribute something unique to society. Mobile

Teenage app developers are not only getting jobs in big
firms, but are also carving their niche in the field of mobile application
development by starting their own companies. Llyt is such a technology startup
established by two Atlanta teens (19-year-old and 15-year-old) in 2012. The
latest endeavor from this startup is an iOS app named Sketch'd, which is
regarded as the world's first iOS app that allows people to draw anything,
animate it and share it with others as a looping video.

So, being under-age or lack of higher education is not a hindrance to find a
lucrative career in the area of mobile app development. It's talent and
motivation that matters most.
With the increasing use of Smartphones, mobile apps and mobile
application development is becoming an inevitable part of modern technology.
The need for mobile app
developers is thus increasing at a higher rate. The ace players in
Smartphone market including Apple and Google are striving to attract app
developers to their App Store by providing some relaxation in their
regulations. Many popular firms are eager to acquire mobile apps from
talented app developers. Not only are they looking for developers who can
create customized mobile applications for different types of businesses, but
also those who are talented in mobile web application development for various
kinds of domains such as social networking, medical, banking and others.
The latest global survey of freelancers by an online
staffing firm oDesk and a Gen Y consulting firm, Millennial Branding revealed
around 72 percent having regular jobs want to quit their jobs and work entirely
for themselves. Around 61 percent affirmed that they will quit their jobs
within two years. According to the survey, the top reason for this is the
prospect of flexibility and freedom as 89 percent prefer to work by choosing
their own workplace and timings rather than adjusting with a strict corporate
job. Mobile

The job of developing mobile apps can surely provide the
freedom and flexibility these professionals are looking for. Being highly
portable, Smartphones provide the opportunity for app developers to work with
real-time data anywhere with the help of tools including Google Drive and
Dropbox. Mobile App
Stores (for instance, Apple's App Store, Google's Play Store) allow application
developers to publish their applications at anytime from anywhere and gain a
share of the revenue obtained from the sales with ease. Mobile

However, it is challenging to develop efficient mobile
apps for various businesses and publish them on App Stores utilizing emerging
technologies and following the guidelines of different Smartphone companies.
For example, Apple introduced the new iOS 7 which can provide fresh mobile
experience and greater user-friendliness. But, the mobile apps which are
designed for iOS 6 won't work well on iOS 7. You need to develop new apps that
are compatible with this platform. Apple has published revised Developer
License Agreement for App Developers. Its App Store will reject those apps that
violate this agreement. In spite of the challenges involved in mobile
application development for Apple iOS 7, entrepreneurs like the young teens
mentioned at the outset will have no hesitation in surging ahead with their
innovations. Mobile

A recent Nielsen report highlights the fact that the
majority of the 120 million Smartphone users in the United States use a
shopping or retail app at least once in a month. Businesses looking to tap into
new revenue streams will be keen on having their own mobile apps, given that
today's consumers virtually live in tablets and Smartphones. This speaks
volumes of the prospects of entrepreneurs engaged in customized mobile app
development.
