Building Awesome Products (iOS Developers Meetup)
0 likes68 views
The document discusses building awesome products through an iterative process involving sketching ideas quickly, building prototypes, testing concepts with users, getting feedback, and continuously iterating on the designs. It emphasizes the importance of a shared vision, exchanging feedback, and taking an enlightened approach to trial and error. Key aspects of the process include sketching ideas in the first week, building prototypes in the first month, testing ideas and getting user feedback in the second month, iterating on the designs in the second month, doing private releases and more user testing in the third month, and officially launching in the fourth month.
