2. Setting clear goals: We worked on daily development with the aim of releasing four apps by 2024.
3. Efficient development processes: Code reuse, continuous improvement, and efficient task management.
4. Addressing technical challenges: We gained a gradual understanding of new technologies, such as using GraphQL API and REST API together.
5. User-centric design: We focused on pre-design using Figma, creating screen transition diagrams, and no-code operation.
6. Marketing efforts: Recognizing the importance of letting as many people as possible know about the app's existence and value.

Student Achievements: Released a public Shopify app! - Interview with Takahashi

A Tech Geek student developed an app that applies discounts to customer tags and shared his experience in an interview. The app can apply discounts to individual orders and products, and utilizes the recently updated Shopify Functions. The developer developed the app to accommodate changes to Shopify Plus specifications. The development period was about eight months, and the work was carried out in a coworking space on weekday mornings, after work, and on weekends. The reason he chose Tech Geek was because of the systematic curriculum for efficient learning and the comprehensive support environment.

Before taking the course, I was worried about my lack of experience in app development and whether I would be able to consult about the review, but in reality, the support was very helpful. Technically, the developers were able to deepen their knowledge of Shopify and their understanding of new frameworks, and mentally, they were able to acquire an entrepreneurial mindset. Shopify app development is difficult, but it is worth the challenge. I hope that this article will help you feel the appeal and value of Tech Geek.

I worked in a company that dealt with Shopify, so I already had a deep understanding of the company, and I would like to use that experience to bring my life closer to my ideal.

First of all, I would like to be able to earn as much as I do from my side job and then become independent.
