Question
Some potential challenges that Steve might have faced when developing Routesy could include gathering and integrating real-time public transit and traffic data, ensuring the app's usability and reliability, and dealing with potential legal and privacy issues related to data usage. He could have overcome these challenges by using reliable data sources, conducting thorough testing to ensure the app's functionality, and consulting with legal experts to ensure compliance with data usage laws and regulations.
This question was asked on:
Steve was a Bay Area web developer and like many of his neighbors he spent a lot of time commuting to and from work. Everyone shared tips and strategies for shortening their commute times, but there was no one comprehensive source of information for area travelers. In 2008 Apple launched its first iPhone and the App Store where users could access additional programs for their devices. One week before the close of the deadline to submit an app for the new Store, Steve was home sick from work. He used the time to hack together an app that pulled in public transit and traffic data in an easy-to-use app that he called Routesy.
