First Option a software house in New Alresford, Hampshire held their opening FirstThing event on the 23 Jan 2013. It’s a breakfast time networking event with a presentation from First Option staff or a guest. Today Matt Clarke, the Managing Director of FirstOption Software kicked things off with an overview of Apps. He defined an App as a program downloaded from the Cloud for use on a range devices. Wikipedia indicates that it derives from the .app extension used for the folders that contain the files that make your App work.
This is my overview of the presentation which can be downloaded as a MindManager map file in you want to add your own notes or do further research.
