1
00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:05,800
We've now gone through all of the preamble all the set up all the administrative stuff now we can start

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:11,620
getting into our project in this course we're going to be building one single project.

3
00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:16,720
Now if you've ever taken another course of mine usually you know that we create a handful of different

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,660
projects but this time around it's one single project because we are going to be building a rather large

5
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:28,870
application that has a tremendous number of features and a lot of back end and front end aspects to

6
00:00:28,870 --> 00:00:29,680
it.

7
00:00:29,740 --> 00:00:34,740
So obviously it's really important that you understand exactly what this application is going to do.

8
00:00:34,750 --> 00:00:38,660
So in this section we're going to talk about our app and what we're going to be building.

9
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:41,290
We're going to discuss its feature set.

10
00:00:41,290 --> 00:00:43,410
Now this is only a preview of sorts.

11
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:47,830
So I'm just kind of giving you a little sense or kind of a feel of what this application is going to

12
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:53,710
do but we'll get a much better idea of the real exact flow and all the different features as we work

13
00:00:53,710 --> 00:00:54,880
through the application.

14
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,410
So let's talk about where we're going to do.

15
00:00:57,980 --> 00:00:58,220
Okay.

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,520
So rather than just outright tell you exactly what we're building I want to first give you a hypothetical

17
00:01:03,790 --> 00:01:04,630
situation.

18
00:01:04,630 --> 00:01:09,130
Okay I want you to imagine right now that you're in another person's shoes.

19
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:15,400
I want you to imagine that you are like a startup owner or a product manager you're someone who has

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,380
created and deployed some type of application or service.

21
00:01:20,380 --> 00:01:26,770
Now maybe your users are making use of your application or your service but you've noticed that recently

22
00:01:26,830 --> 00:01:31,040
your users seemed to just suddenly stop using your application altogether.

23
00:01:31,060 --> 00:01:35,050
And so what is step one of figuring out why people are quitting your application.

24
00:01:35,140 --> 00:01:37,770
Well you ask your users why they quit.

25
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:43,510
So let's imagine that you are a startup owner right now and you are deploying your app or your service

26
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:49,870
and maybe at some point in time you want to collect some amount of feedback from your users so that

27
00:01:49,870 --> 00:01:54,970
you can understand why people are using it why they're not using it and how you can make your application

28
00:01:54,970 --> 00:01:56,680
better.

29
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Ideally you might decide to send a bunch of all of your customers.

30
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:07,690
So like maybe 20 50 1000 customers a single e-mail that says hey it would be great if you could give

31
00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:13,460
me some feedback so I can better understand how you use our app and whether or not you enjoy it.

32
00:02:13,810 --> 00:02:18,880
Maybe some number of your customers replied to your email and give you some amount of feedback and you

33
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:25,240
then kind of tabulate or summarize all that feedback into one resultset you can then use that to somehow

34
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:27,830
make your application or your service better.

35
00:02:27,850 --> 00:02:29,260
With all that feedback.

36
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:37,000
So you and I are going to be building an application that will allow a startup owner or a product manager

37
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,900
to essentially automatically go through this process or very easily go through this process.

38
00:02:43,450 --> 00:02:49,780
We're going to target customers excuse me we're going to target startup owners or product managers with

39
00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:55,510
our application and our application is going to enable them to very quickly and very easily send out

40
00:02:55,510 --> 00:03:00,820
bold e-mail messages to a bunch of different users to collect some amount of feedback.

41
00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:01,460
OK.

42
00:03:01,630 --> 00:03:02,970
So that's at a very high level.

43
00:03:02,980 --> 00:03:08,290
What we're doing we are going to make a feedback collection application that is going to be marketed

44
00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:14,170
to startup owners and product owners product managers all those types of people so that they can collect

45
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:17,770
feedback from their own individual users.

46
00:03:17,770 --> 00:03:22,120
Now this application is going to be quite diverse and its feature set.

47
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,450
So immediately when you start thinking about this.

48
00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:25,280
OK.

49
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,990
You know we want to somehow send out a lot of emails.

50
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,260
That means the application you and I are going to have to build is going to have to somehow figure out

51
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:34,930
how to send a lot of e-mails to a lot of people.

52
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:38,290
Secondly maybe we don't want to send out these e-mails for free.

53
00:03:38,290 --> 00:03:42,570
So all of a sudden we start thinking well maybe we need billing inside this application.

54
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,600
And then if we have billing Well we just need to have like user accounts as well.

55
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520
And so hey OK we need authentication as well.

56
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,250
So very quickly you can start to get the feeling that yeah there's going to be a lot of different features

57
00:03:54,250 --> 00:03:56,710
that are going to go into this application.

58
00:03:56,860 --> 00:04:01,900
Now to make sure that it's really clear exactly what type of feature set and all the different things

59
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:04,270
that we're going to need to do inside this application.

60
00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:09,370
Let's take a break and I'm going to come back in the next section and do a real detailed walkthrough

61
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,800
of how someone might use our application.

62
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:17,890
So let's take a quick break and start to break down the actual app process of how someone would use

63
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:19,490
our app in the next section.
