I guess this is only for CS people? That's a problem for me as I'm a business guy. Maybe I could add a step in and hire a CS person to write the app for me. I think this is a pretty good idea.

The author is right, selling an app on the App Store can be very educational and he makes clear points; something that you don't. @Jake Cutter: your comment is silly, not the blog post.

I feel that many CS programs are too much oriented to the technical skills and forget that CS grads must work in a social environment where all other kinds of skills are also needed to grow.

Jake,

Can you elaborate on your experience with the App Store? Did it really not teach you anything?

You say you already have an MBA, so to be fair, you should consider your skills before you got your MBA and tell us if your would have learned something by shipping an app on the App Store.
