Was grabbing my daily coffee at my favorite coffee shop BeanTraders, and saw a pamphlet on the counter for the “Sustain a Bull” program. David and Christy, the owners, have evidently joined this program to help support local businesses. (For more information go check out their website at Sustain a Bull.

This got me thinking, are app develops a local business? Let me suggest that they are… Here are my thoughts:

• Most developers are small teams
• small teams tend to be co-located
• Revenue from apps comes to the local community

Yes, these are over generalization, but getting started to develop apps is not hard all you need is a pc or a Mac, and a device to test on. There are many online free and cheap tools to help you get started. And the 70% of the revenue goes directly to the developer, at least on the apple app store.

I will think this out even more and post more soon.
