Singapore is the fifth most app-crazed market in the world, after South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the US. Globally, Android app downloads hit the 10 billion mark last week. Big companies, particularly those in the consumer products sector are developing apps and competing with development firms for staff. Singapore universities and polytechnics, which include NUS, SMU and Nanyang, Singapore and Temasek polytechnics, started teaching mobile app development about four years ago, and are just seeing the first batch of students join the workforce.
