Book Description
Mobile Development is an unavoidable digital strategy for most enterprises. It needs vision, focus, and experience to develop software with longevity, sustainability, maintenance and change management at a reasonable cost for the organisation and if there is infinite time anyone can learn and write software. This book is for those readers who aspire to know about mobile application developments for building a Super App where the end goal is to create a mental model. The book is a part of the Super App series. Reading it will rewire the reader's thought process with ideas that act as recipes and perspectives that will help the individual to lay the foundation and do the groundwork for the Super App mobile application. In addition, the book covers the essentials required to be understood by readers who are in the driver's seat for a mobile application project. Reading this book prepares an individual to think in a direction which is close to the ground realities for the approaches required for building a Super App. Furthermore, the book brings together the experience gained from multiple projects over the past ten years, which the reader can capitalize on and add to their knowledge base.

The App Generation

Book Description
No one has failed to notice that the current generation of youth is deeply--some would say totally--involved with digital media. Professors Howard Gardner and Katie Davis name today's young people The App Generation, and in this spellbinding book they explore what it means to be "app-dependent" versus "app-enabled" and how life for this generation differs from life before the digital era. Gardner and Davis are concerned with three vital areas of adolescent life: identity, intimacy, and imagination. Through innovative research, including interviews of young people, focus groups of those who work with them, and a unique comparison of youthful artistic productions before and after the digital revolution, the authors uncover the drawbacks of apps: they may foreclose a sense of identity, encourage superficial relations with others, and stunt creative imagination. On the other hand, the benefits of apps are equally striking: they can promote a strong sense of identity, allow deep relationships, and stimulate creativity. The challenge is to venture beyond the ways that apps are designed to be used, Gardner and Davis conclude, and they suggest how the power of apps can be a springboard to greater creativity and higher aspirations.

Book Description
China has leapfrogged past the West in many areas of tech - China's mobile payments have surpassed the United States 100-fold and most Chinese consumers haven't used cash or a credit card for years - and at the center of this new digital revolution is WeChat, the world's first superapp. For people in China, WeChat is now the everything app - wallet, social media, messaging, food ordering, bill paying, game playing and much more. And companies across the world are only now racing to catch up by creating a similar, all-encompassing digital phenomenon. The First Superapp provides a glimpse of the future, and Kevin Shimota, a former top executive at WeChat, tells the inside story of how this phenomenon began in the context of China's unique internet. He tells the story of WeChat's creation and its climb to become the first superapp, providing insights on the psyche of WeChat's founder, and of modern China tech to explain the fundamentals of these new innovations and how the framework they form could be reproduced beyond China.

Book Description
In the 2010s, as chat apps became a primary mode of communication for many people across the world, WhatsApp quickly outpaced rival messaging apps and developed into a platform. In this book, the authors provide a comprehensive account of WhatsApp’s global growth. Charting WhatsApp’s evolution from its founding in 2009 to the present day, they argue that WhatsApp has been transformed from a simple, ‘gimmickless’ app into a global communication platform. Understanding this development can shed light on the trajectory of Meta’s industrial development, and how digital economies and social media landscapes are evolving with the rise of ‘superapps’. This book explores how WhatsApp’s unique characteristics mediate new kinds of social and commercial transactions; how they pose new opportunities and challenges for platform regulation, civic participation and democracy; and how they give rise to new kinds of digital literacy as WhatsApp becomes integrated into everyday digital cultures across the globe. Accessibly written, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of digital media, cultural studies, and media and communications.
