# Rapid App Workflow
> Rapid App Design, Development, and Distribution Workflow.
Modern day app development is complex. You face hundreds of micro-decisions during the life cycle of an app. From design, through development, to distribution. Here is a short list of such micro-decisions.
- How to research the target market and audience?
- How to prototype and generate ideas?
- What is the appropriate technology stack?
- How to setup fastest build pipeline?
- What are the best development tools for the job?
- Which programming language is most relevant?
- What libraries and frameworks work best together?
- How to distribute the app for successful market adoption?
## How this book helps
This book helps you ease into these micro-decisions. We do this by creating the Rapid App Workflow.
- Targeting most popular distribution channels including iOS and NodeJS.
- Selecting best-of-breed frameworks, libraries, and tools which work well together.
- Comparing real-world success stories for addressing critical micro-decisions.
- Working our way step-by-step through creation of a custom designed app workflow that suits your project goals.
- Covering the end-to-end app life cycle goals including design, development, and distribution.
## Who should read this book
Primary audience for this book, like the author, is a single developer + designer + marketer. The power of one, extended with communities like the GitHub. The book focuses on individual productivity, speed-to-market, cost-effectiveness, and re-use.
The rapid app workflow can also adapt to small teams of four-to-five members.
## Structure of this book
The book follows modern day app life cycle for target platforms as the top level structure. Second level highlights a workflow step along with best-of-breed tool or technology chosen.
**Top level:** Design for iOS > Develop using Swift on XCode > Distribute on Apple App Store
**Second level:** Design for iOS > Using playgrounds for rapid prototyping
Each second level chapter is a complete workflow step. Written in easy to follow along, step-by-step instructions. Top level chapters organize the entire workflow providing a bird's eye view.
