Application, Application, Application…..!

I was disconnected to geeks for almost 4 months!. It was not because I didn’t want to – but I was really focus to learn other thing – not far from programming and development world – its about software business. Yes, I was involved seriously to drive three key Government projects, rural IT, e-ID and e-Tax – things that I believe should be the mother and father of Indonesian IT projects. During that 4 months – I spend lot of time and energy but at the same time I do learn a lot. It makes me seeing many other sides of our IT ecosystem, triggered myself to believe that we can do big thing in Indonesia :). I’ll share about that later!.

Now I’m back and my focus is web application ecosystem in Indonesia. I want to connect to all developers, web development company (Web Pro) and everyone who want to create future web applications. If you attended to WebsiteSpark launch last week – you’ll agree that we already have everything to change the game.

#1 – We now have WebsiteSpark program. Free software access for who will create web apps. Register here.
#2 – We have good Windows based hosters ecosystem now – Infinys, GreenView and IndoNusa.
#3 – Our market is hungry for Next Generation Web applications.
#4 – Microsoft serious investments on Web and Cloud.

What is missing – “real developers and of course – applications”!. That part is what I want to re-focus in near future.

So, enough for intro - lets continuing our game to create cool web applications from now on. I want to see more startups like Armanovus, Agate, and Sangkuriang leading our market.  If you have great project ideas, let me know – you may become one of the change agent!

Application, Application and Application!

Cheers – RAM
