The Grades 2 beta is finally out. Woohooo! In this episode we talk about an event with Ken Yarmosh, a cool site called Forrst, and our beta testing set up, including how to use TestFlight to take a ton of pain out of the beta testing process.

“An App Story” Episode 2 and the Features of Grades 2.0
Saturday, December 25th, 2010If you would have told us that Grades 1.0.3 would be approved before Christmas we would have said, “Bah! Humbug.” But it’s a wonderful life and, miraculously, it happened. So here is the second episode of “An App Story,” in which Jer talks about this update and how it relates to our marketing strategy for Grades 2.0. (The update includes a video that announces some of 2.0’s cool new features; this video can be found below.)
And here’s the Grades 2 preview video.
An App Story: Episode 1
Tuesday, December 14th, 2010We hope to crank out a weekly video, chronicling the creation and marketing of Grades 2.0 from now to launch-time. These vids will take you behind the scenes. And we hope they will spark a lot of interest, create a lot of buzz, and maybe even be a helpful resource for other iPhone app developers.
We’re also hoping to make this an iTunes podcast.
We’re not sure about the name (“An App Story”). We may change it, so just keep calm and carry on.
