14-year-old an inspiration to aspiring app developers everywhere
By Alex Britton is a 9th grader who loves to create iPhone apps. He started out with an app called Whoopee Cusion (no longer available) and has went on to create some cool apps like Chalk and Doodle Zombies.
Here is a snippet from the article:
When Apple’s iPad came out last spring, Alex anticipated that users would want shiny new apps for their shiny new tablets, and created Chalk — an app that simply allows users to draw on a virtual chalkboard with a virtual stick of chalk — which was listed as one of the top 100 selling apps for the device, and made it to the Apple Store‘s front page in April 2010.
With Chalk, it was mainly a hit because it was one of the first ones out there,” he said. “I try to do, like, three apps a season, and two or three games throughout the year.
I started off doing mostly games, but I think it’s easier to get noticed if you have a utility or a photo application,” he said. He recently launched Photo Booth Plus, an application that allows users to paste new or archived pictures from their iPhone’s photo library into a filmstrip background and upload them to Facebook and Twitter.
