Mobile apps and 7 successful Indian developers!

The mobile apps revolution is here. Market research firm Gartner estimates that this year alone, mobile users across the globe will pay more than $6.2 billion to buy 'mobile applications' — games, social networking tools, productivity and entertainment-based mini programmes for mobile phones.

And this despite the fact that 80 per cent of these will be free downloads anyway this year.

 

Apps have become the business with the fastest turnaround time in the software industry. In just one month an application can be developed and marketed to a global community of enthusiastic downloaders.

Sample this. In January this year, 3 billion apps were downloaded from the Apple app store, which has more than 100,000 titles in categories such as games, business, news, sports and health.

BlackBerry App World has around 4,000 titles and Google's Android Market, 20,000.

In India, the world's second biggest mobile phone market of more than 500 million consumers and a large community of software programmers, there is fierce competition among developers to deliver apps that run on different handsets and technology platforms.

What's driving their business are online app stores on the Apple, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson websites, and on Facebook and Orkut, where developers can sell directly to consumers. Of course, they must pay a yearly fee and 30 per cent of their revenues to the service platform.

But this is a better scenario — there was a time when app developers earned a paltry 10-15 per cent as royalty from mobile service providers.

“Fresherlab was the foundation for my professional training just after my graduation. It has been a special place where I was able to develop my technical abilities. I was one among a batch of ten members. The trainers who trained us possessed great skills and expertise in the areas / topics of the training programme i.e., "iphone application development". We were given study materials of the course: a hardcopy softcopy (PPT’s). We had regular assessments and assignments to assess and improve our knowledge on the topics of the course. There was a mixture of theoretical / explanatory sessions and practical sessions to practice and explore the MAC OS and Xcode. Also, we had developed a couple of mini live projects, before attending interviews and placements. This helped a lot to build self-confidence and understand the concepts with more clarity.”

I had searched for the best training institute in Bangalore and as I searched a lot, found many institutes now I am at junction to choose ,having no idea which road leads to which place. Since I don't want to waste my time and money neither by learning nothing and going for job nor learning with no job. Am searching for the training center such that makes me learn and opportunity should knock me.



I found one Institute “FRESHER LAB” saying “learn by doing” .As tag says “LEARN BY DOING” institute mean it. I joined this institute and I found no teachers no lecturers’ only mentors they helped me to learn .They and were very helpful in nature .They provided resources we have to utilize it, helping hands are always ready to help us by any means of contact, they are always available. Mainly MR. Ambuj helped me the way how to think, how to grow in career, how to get things done, how to grab opportunities. Clarifying my confusions, with wise suggestions, guided me lot.



Institute arranged  many interviews faced almost  4 or 5 interviews .Every interview  I cracked ,I was selected in all interviews that I faced. Last I am working with Techjini Solutions Pvt Ltd. Place where am applying  all I learnt and became vital role in my team as well as in organization.
