More often than not, mobile app development focuses on the newest whiz bang technology for the coolest new handsets. (That’s right. I said “whiz bang.” I’m not afraid.) But what about building apps for people in regions with emerging technology?
That’s where Mobile Portland will focus, this month, with a talk entitled Mobile Apps for Coffee Farmers: 10 Lessons Learned in the Field.
It’s hard to build mobile apps. But it’s even harder to build them them for people very different from yourself – in this case, coffee farmers in Tanzania. How do you go about building an app for someone who’s never before used a computer, smartphone, or tablet? How do you convince a farmer to use your app when you speak different languages, come from different contexts, and have different needs? How can you ensure that your app is creating a lasting, positive impact?
Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? So what are you waiting for?
Meet with all of your peers in the mobile scene, Monday night at 6:00PM. As always, Mobile Portland is hosted by Urban Airship.

I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your sites really nice, keep it up! I’ll go ahead and bookmark your site to come back later on. All the best|
I agree, it is very difficult to build an app for someone else. I find many business owners want to change things time and time again. I finally had to limit the number of changes I would make to their app! Otherwise, it would never be done.
Apps are what is needed to make your smartphone smart and unique.Im fond of app creating and find it really helpful to use site like Snappii where i can build apps in minutes.
