Common Sense
11 Jun 2010
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have a feeling that some of the previous reviews were written by the marketing department of the publishers of this book. This book is like junk food, you gain nothing out of it. A lot of what is written in this book is common sense about the market. I think anyone that is actually interested in developing an app would have done enough research to know most of the stuff in the book.
There are some valid points in this book, but most of the book feels like a manual that just explains facebook and iphone and saying a lot of nothing in a round about way.
I wish I could have previewed before this book before impulse buying. If you have the spare change for this book, go spend the money on downloading top apps on the iphone or spending some money on facebook to figure out how why people develop the way they do. It would probably be more helpful.

Great Book, don't let the title fool you.
25 May 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Despite the title, this is not a "get rich quick" book. This book is full of detailed information on how to develop mobile apps and Facebook apps. I have been a software developer for 30 years. I recently started working with mobile apps and social media apps. This book doesn't discuss code, but it is written toward an experienced developer. This book discusses how to design and plan these apps and how they differ from traditional development.
It explains how these new application forms differ from traditional enterprise applications. Facebook is contained in its own environment and the developer has to work within this environment. Mobile apps, of course, have small screens and minimal memory. And people use them differently than a desktop app. This book examines all of that in detail.
If you are planning to extend your development skills to mobile and social media, this book will be a great start for you. I highly recommend it.

weak, very weak
1 Sep 2010
Format:Paperback
I bought seven books on the same topic and i read 5 of them already. This one is by far the weakest, offering just very very general ideas. Nothing concrete, no examples, no tips, no links to check out, no directories, no suggestions to follow...For example, it is recommended to ad within your App. Any list with potential platforms that offers that?
Also, instead of focusing on one kind of app building (either for iPhone or Facebook) and getting more details for that, the author just lightly offer his opinion on how to make apps for the two of them - again, with no 'juice'.
"Making money now" in the title is a horrible misleading. I am dissappointed i bought the book.
