I wish MBA's would knock it off with their everything is easy meme. Yes - software, including apps, can be created in two months. In fact we can write them in two hours, or take two years; it depends. Buried in your post is that your partner split so you spent 24x7 obsessed on coding which, IMO, is the right way to learn, and sometimes even the right way to work (in bursts at least; doing that for too long leads to -- in MBA speak -- massively diminishing ROI for your time). In any event congratulations on getting your app out, and welcome to unwritten secret society of computer programmers who have published software.

>> in MBA speak -- massively diminishing ROI for your time

I don't know any MBAs who speak like that, myself included. The only people I've encountered who speak like that are consultants and salespeople who don't have MBAs.

Having said that, I don't live in the USA, so maybe Americans with MBAs are a very different beast.
