Same framework, your way
Every option teaches the Up Coast App Strategy Framework, and every option gets you into the Up Coast Builders network.
Which one sounds like you?
You don't need to work in tech to learn how to build. The cost of guessing wrong isn't just money, it's also months of your life. So before you start building, you work out who your app is for, what to build first, and how it makes money.
Not sure?
Answer two questions and I'll point you to one.

“The workbook is a great resource. Even after going through the course, it's so helpful to have all of the steps and explanations fully written out, with encouragement to actually sit, think about, and write down what I'm working on. There are a lot of gems that I might otherwise forget about throughout, so I expect I'll be reviewing the workbook frequently even in future projects!”

Hi 👋, I am Abbey Jackson
I started as a nanny with no formal tech training, working part-time while on disability. I had an app idea and the same questions you have now. So I taught myself to code, became a mobile app engineer, and worked at cool places like Intel on AR glasses and Rivian on their electric truck and SUV.
That is where I learned how an app goes from an idea to something people use, and it is what I teach here.
