Writing apps for a large organization has its own unique challenges.
Large teams require that you collaborate in complex ways while keeping quality and delivery speed high. It’s not straightforward, and it makes the days of knocking out an app on your own look fun and easy, if somewhat solitary.
It’s not just about “data structures and algorithms” or any of that Computer Science 101 stuff at this level.
The Mobile Native Foundation is a new organization that focuses on large-scale app development issues for iOS and Android.
It’s mostly just discussion groups right now, but they have contributions from people at large companies with apps you know and respect such as Lyft and Spotify.
The discussions cover relevant topics ranging from organizational (such as Encouraging and enforcing testing), to design (Building Modern UI), to technical (Splitting an app into modules).
👉 This site also reminds me of a book on large-scale app development that I’m currently working through: Building Mobile Apps at Scale.
