How to build minimum lovable products
Building great products is hard. Most new products fail. But what if there was a way to improve your chances of success? In his book "The Lean Product Playbook," entrepreneur and Lean product expert Dan Olsen lays out a repeatable, easy-to-follow methodology for iterating your way to product-market fit. I recently read the book and shared my notes and understanding in a webinar, and I'm excited to share the key takeaways with you in this blog post.

What platforms such as Saas and Low/ No Code bring to the table is the absence of such infrastructures and 99.999% availability.

2021 Reflections, New year plans and a grand new website
Everyone at RapidIteration is here because they love to learn and grow. This is the most fundamental thing I urge and communicate with everyone in the team: in a constantly moving world, standing means going backwards. I don't have to worry a lot, because everyone in the team is living by that standards anyways. I also tell them: do not do it for me, for RapidIteration or for this and that, do it for yourselves. Thus, we are already keeping a good pace with the changing world.
Learn C#
The love of C# also led me to present in CodeWeekend‘s 36th, 37th and 39th sessions where I tried to explain C# from very basics to intermediate level. It was a year ago, but I thought better if I put all presentations together in a post, and that maybe helpful for those who want to download it for use, teaching or extending.
Our Product Iteration Process
Sticking to our 21 day duration, our product iteration process is inspired from Scrum framework of Agile methodology and consists of stages that starts from requirement gathering and then goes towards analysis & design to which it proceeds to implementation and testing. After that, the QA/acceptance testing starts that results to a deployment. We also have an evaluation step to assess how the iteration went and what we can learn from it to consider in our future iterations.

A Successful Career in Software Development
As part of my more than ten years of work experience in different software development roles in a variety of companies of different size and structure in Turkey, Afghanistan, England and Canada, I’ve developed insights that may be of value for those thinking about entering a career in this field, or who want to excel further in this area, which I share below. Some of these principles that are also covered in the book: The Passionate Programmer, by Chad Fowler, which I highly recommend.
What is Software Development?
Software development is a process that includes all that is involved between the conception of the desired software through to the final manifestation of the software, sometimes in a planned and structured process. Software development may include research, new development, prototyping, modification, reuse, re-engineering, maintenance, or any other activities that result in software products, like the ones you use every day.
Do you want to learn coding? What’s next?
Nowadays, there is a huge interest in learning how to code. You will notice plenty of articles coming up in your social media feed, in technology portals and even in mainstream media that emphasize the importance of learning to code, no matter who are you or what you do. A major annual campaign run by code.org, a US based non-profit organization, called Hour of Code promotes coding, and is endorsed by many celebrities and pioneer software personalities who are featured encouraging computer science education and coding.
