All the Phases of the Mobile and Web Product Development Process

Analysing the market, deciding on the type of app you will build, estimating the budget and, finally, the execution – they all are long steps that can sometimes discourage you.

From freelancer to Thinslicer - the story of how I was recruited

My story starts in college; actually in my dropping out of it In '98 I went to college in Bucharest. I tried to keep up for about two years, but when I found the PC room in the basement, with around 20 Windows NT machines connected to the Internet, something clicked for me.

In software development, estimation is the process of predicting the most likely amount of effort (time and budget) required to build or maintain a software system. Only after going through the estimation process can we be comfortable to offer a price range for your digital product. But before explaining how we do estimates, let’s have a quick look at what typically happens after you make a request for proposal.

My work-from-home productivity system. What’s yours?

I am a full-time software developer at Thinslices, and I also have Team Leader responsibilities. Like many of us, for the past 4 months I’ve been working from home.
