Apps Quote by Nick D'Aloisio

“My first app was released in July or August of 2008. It was a 'fingermill' - a treadmill for your fingers. My level of programming was quite basic to begin with, so it was more gimmicky to start with. Day one it was up there, I had 79 pounds worth of revenue.” quote by Nick D'Aloisio — Download Open image
