Instructor Details

Dan Prodi

I have 30+ years experience in IT project management, software development and software architecture.

I have led several teams of software developers as project manager, quality manager and as team leader in different companies and different countries in sectors e.g. telecommunication, research & development, travel business, Internet marketing and Internet business, consultancy and services.

I have been responsible to collect the requirements of projects, applications and processes, design the databases and specify the final objects.

During my career I have accumulated a lot of experiences dealing with processes of any kind and the need to define the tools to manage them and collect the information.

Most of my tools have been written in VB, VBA, C++, C#, Java, PHP, Javascript using databases e.g. Informix, Postgres, Oracle and MySql.

I have organized all my experiences in courses which are not only a list of functions and methods but contain also my practical experiences and considerations about how to cope with the different situations and which solutions to suggest.

I'm struggling through this because I want to learn. The problem is miss pronounce words and the capture is not better. Should have used a voice over and a editor. I'm getting something out of it but it is hard. A voice over and editor would increase to a 5 star rating.

By Jeff Lo on 7/9/2023

The information is very general and common sense. There is no really good concrete example of how to launch a software company from start to finish. It is just theory but lack of actual experience. It feels like I am taking a course from someone with no real software development experience at all.

By Syed Abid Ismail on 1/12/2023

Fantastic! Great and short course! Brilliantly packaged all the aspect of a software startup! My purpose was to understand how to run the development of software solution, not from the technical aspect but all the other areas! Which this course gave me. Will surely help me do my job effectively!

By Ian Dowdall on 10/13/2022

We have developed a Web application, and I'm looking for guidance on how to enhance this to include API. Also, best practice around managing the application . Documentation, service and support, managing a team (remote workers). Security and Architecture are areas of interest as well. So far, not to excited. But hope this gets deeper in to topics that are of interest

Sound quality was bad. But when I start using headphone or large speaker its fair to listen. Good content. Lot of valuable information I have learned from it. All the section and examples are realistic. More examples could be better which I have realized so far. Thanks Daniele. Looking forward for a complete software startup course from you.

Daniele is niet altijd goed te verstaan en de subtitles zijn verschrikkelijk slecht

By Cassels Bashi Mompati on 12/26/2018

The lecturer is very knowledgeable. The sound quality was poor very poor on most modules. The Lecturer came into his element when he did not have to appear on the screen. He was lucid and not fumbling around as before as he seemed uncomfortable in fron of a camera

By Fionn Ross on 11/14/2016

I gave the rating for content, rather than overall technical prowess. Daniele is very soft-spoken. I was forced to concentrate on his delivery so I wouldn't miss anything. At one point, I tried headphones. Yes, the overall audio quality was varied. However, I wanted to learn - and I did. If one can get past the quality of the audio and the soft speech, one will find a wealth of knowledge and highly useful information. I will be returning to this course as a reference point. Thanks, Daniele!

By Stefano Buiaroni on 8/4/2016

Great course. The instructor is knowledgeable about the subject. A lot of good tips, from the communication process, partnership, outsourcing, how to find royalty free images, videos and audio. The open source model to save few bucks :) etc... It's a good overview for sure. Thanks Daniele.

By Detlef Fahrtmann on 8/4/2016

Daniele is for me not so easy to understand, because it seems that he isn't a native english speaker. The course would be much better if he use a speaker who talk instead of him. The course is in the first lessons slow and maybe boring for some, but I think you need this stuff if you want to start your business. The second half of the course is much better and Daniele give many Tips and tools. It is a good overview of everything you need, but you need to study and check all the tools alone. For some details I like to hear more.
