youngest app developer
13-year-old Aaron Bond, of Paignton has
designed an iPhone app video game called 'Spud Run' to become the nation's
youngest recorded app developer.
The 59p game requires users to navigate a
mutant potato through a maze before it is squashed in 40 seconds.
He credits his friend Sebastian McNeil, 16,
with the idea and design.
The Daily Mail reported the Paignton
computer whizz saying:
"I've always been fascinated by computers and how they work and when
Seb [McNeil] mentioned this might be a possibility I thought "Why
not?"
"So I bought lots of books about how to develop applications and then
sat for hours watching YouTube tutorials and researching the Internet until I
could make my own."

They should have gone on the apprentice - they'd probably had more success than those supposed business people.
