A study of Apple and Google mobile phone application developers
Following on from a recent CITO seminar at UCD presented by Prof. Debra Howcroft, based on a study by Birgitta Bergvall-Kåreborn (event notice link).

An important study into a nascent industry sector. Of particular interest is the pull towards casualisation of the work of software production, driven in part no doubt from the lower economic rewards (drive down in software price) of mobile apps. The growth of apps as an industry sector is notionally built on the idea that apps may become components of a service, a service that someone will pay for, either the customer for the good or another say for marketing/ad-ware etc that seeks to access the producer's customers. The economics is of course one aspect; the personal and social impact is another important facet and is ultimately the main the focus of this paper.
