In today's #CodeAndCoffee, we're talking with Ben Fox (@ductionist) from @User_Camp and finalist in the 2018 #WindowsDevAwards, to discuss the business side of building apps; user management, monetization & more! @kaosspad
#CodeAndCoffee Q1: Hi Ben, welcome! Please tell us a little about yourself, @user_camp, and how you got started. @ductionist
#CodeAndCoffee Q2: If you had to start a new app, with no predisposition for an idea, how do you recognize opportunities in the marketplace to come up with an idea? @ductionist
#CodeAndCoffee Q3: When that new idea is decided on, how do you begin? Do you and @kaosspad devise a road map to follow, or is there a more flexible route?
#CodeAndCoffee Q4: Speaking of feature/scope creep, does feature creep become a problem? And on that note, do you iterate on existing features or leverage user-feedback?
#CodeAndCoffee Q5: Now down to business. After features are locked in and the app is planned, how do you decide on a monetization strategy? Does this depend on the app or the user-type? @ductionist @user_camp @kaosspad
#CodeAndCoffee Q6: When the app is finally published, do you take advantage of the newer features of DevCenter? For example A/B testing, customer segmentation and targeted notifications to help with user acquisition, future feature planning or user-experience problems?
#CodeAndCoffee Q7: Last question! Is there anything we haven't discussed today that you think would be useful for other teams or developers to know? @ductionist @user_camp @kaosspad #DevAwards #MSBuild
#CodeAndCoffee That's a wrap! Thank you for joining us, Ben (@ductionist). And don't forget to vote for our #WindowsDevAwards finalists here: wndw.ms/77e60m
