Podcast: Internet of Things (or Internet FOR Things?)

his week on The Raika Show, we’re partnering up with Incubate This! to talk about IoT: Internet of Things.

Ahh, the Internet of Things… Smart thermostats, smart lights, smart door locks. The world is now just plain SMARTER because of these tiny little robots we’ve entrusted to care for the mundane logistics in our lives.

Are they really trustworthy? What is IoT, how was the spec invented, and what were the creators thinking anyway? Listen as GotAnAppIdea.com and Raika Technologies join forces to find out how these little gadgets impact our everyday lives.

The Startup Therapy Couch™: Putting an app in the store WILL NOT make you a millionaire

There’s no easy way to tell someone that spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on an app and putting it in the store is not going to default you to making millions of dollars. It’s even harder when that someone has already spent that money and has no downloads.

Do your customer research, market validation and user testing BEFORE you spend money. And you need, need, need MARKETING.

Carry on.

Podcast: NativeScript and Frameworks: The Good, The Bad and The Bitchy

This week on The Raika Show we're talking about NativeScript, a framework designed to cross-compile a single code base to iOS and Android, and frameworks in general. We get into our views on the state of modern web and software development, and how the industry is being impacted by the proliferation of developers who don't take the time to understand the fundamentals before diving into using frameworks. It's a little bitch session, but with nuggets of creamy goodness!

The Tech Therapy Couch: Blockchain, Bitcoin, Bleeding Edge Technology... is Unnecessary

I know you think you need it... But you don't. If you're the 0.01% of all people developing something that really REALLY is going to revolutionize these bleeding-edge technologies, then my hat is off to you and you don't need me anyway.

But that's probably NOT you. Cheers!
