Software Development Roles: Skill Attributes Visualisation

This 3D scatter plot visualises various software development roles based on three key skill attributes:

  • Project Timeline (x-axis): Representing the spectrum from project start to project end.
  • Focus Orientation (y-axis): Spanning from people focused to technology focused roles.
  • Thinking Style (z-axis): Differentiating between operational thinking and strategic thinking.

Each marker represents a distinct role, with its position indicating the relative emphasis on each of these attributes. Use the chart to explore how different roles balance these skills. How one person in a 3D space could assume another role nearby in the space.

"M" for Mobile Developer. Software Development Roles: A to Z

 A Mobile Developer is responsible for creating and maintaining applications for mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Mobile Developers collaborate with designers, product managers, and other developers to deliver high-quality, user-friendly mobile applications.

Personal Story: One intriguing aspect of mobile development is the hidden requirements that suddenly appear from Apple or Google. To make your app available to customers, you must use Apple or Google-owned stores, which means complying with their constantly updated rules. Some recent requirements include: Ensuring the initial app download size is small. Allowing users to delete their accounts within the app easily. Avoiding terms like "demos," "betas," and "trial versions" on the App Store. Providing developer information for customer support and inquiries. My Advice: Always read the App Review Guidelines before starting to design your app. Interesting Mobile Fact: The mobile app market exploded with the launch of Apple's App Store in 2008, sparking a revolution in consumer technology and transforming industries worldwide.
