Key learning notes from this episode:

• Developers write computer code to make the design come alive. The vast majority of apps will need to have a front end and a back end.

• Front end developers create computers that interact with humans. If you can see it, touch it or speak to it, it is a front end.

• Back end developers create computers that interact with other computers.

When you are working with a product team, the work cycle will go as follows:

1. Designers create your prototype
2. Back end developers build the back end
3. Front end developers build the front end

If you want to go deeper, then check out the What Non-Technical Founders Really Need to Know about Tech course, where I teach you the process of how to go from idea to a live product and how to work effectively with developers, designers and other people involved in the process.
