Do you know about the three major steps to develop a software product?
One might realize there’s a problem and have an idea to solve it, but lacking knowledge on how to automate or develop a software can be a hindrance. Merely identifying a problem and having an idea isn’t enough to solve it.
Another person might excel in software development, capable of automating solutions, but lacks expertise in deploying them onto servers or determining server requirements.
Then there’s the third person, skilled in deploying applications on servers and managing them, but lacks understanding of identifying problems and developing software to address them.
These three individuals represent common scenarios in today’s landscape. People often focus solely on a single skill set, relying on others for complementary skills.
Consequently:
👉 Ideas or problems may remain unaddressed due to insufficient resources, leading to prolonged waits.
👉 Individuals may remain in the same job for an extended period, delaying pursuit of their own ideas.
👉 Fear of idea theft may discourage sharing ideas with others.
👉 Being unwilling to learn new things might slow down your entrepreneurial skills.
After a few years, it’s common to witness someone else bringing the same idea to market, leading to regret over missed opportunities.
The three major steps to develop a software product are:
👉 Identifying a problem and transforming it into a viable idea, involving market research, analysis, strategy planning, and resource allocation.
👉 Application development, encompassing the entire product development lifecycle, including system design, UI/UX, and application development.
👉 Deployment of the application on production servers, involving CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation, and application monitoring.
What if you had the opportunity to learn about all three milestones, enabling you to confidently begin working on your own idea parallel to your job or whatever you are doing?
The C@C (College to Corporate) Program covers and focuses on teaching all these steps.
