Hi everyone, I've had this question on my mind for quite some time now. Basically, I'm looking to build an android app (complexity level that of Bumble), with some elementary knowledge of coding. Assuming outsourcing is not an option for me, how do I go about executing things the way MJ did for his website - not reading 20 books on programming but googling the code on a problem by problem basis ?
But the problem is that it's impossibly elegant to do it this way- I mean I'm getting stuck in the initial stages of building the app, like the first few lines and files. If it were simply hard, I could write it off as the entry commandment. So I want to know what exactly I'm doing wrong with that approach. It would be perfect if MJ himself answers this. But I'm firstly posting it here to cast a wider net for inputs. Please try to answer it from his perspective on how he would approach this in my situation.
P. S. The default for me seems to be Udacity's programs they've created in partnership with Google. But that doesn't match the speed and real-time relevance of the trial by fire method. I'm sure a middle path exists between drag and drop app builders and Udacity. As reasonable, my prime concern is the first and quickest MVP prototype which I also intend as the proof of concept (and hence further need for an expedited path to market to avoid building what no one wants).
