Shownotes

The 5 Steps:

  1. Choose a Simple Problem Domain (Note Taking app or Calorie/Protein Tracker)
  2. Do not worry about best practices
  3. Start Small, then go smaller: Super tiny nibbles of work
  4. Build Something Ugly and just "Get it working"
  5. Don't Conflate Technologies if you don't have to. Keep it simple.
