After the first couple lectures from 'How To Start A Startup' I came up with some ideas of how to go about my next startup.

The points I came up with are:

1) Find out a side project to work on instead of a startup idea

2) Just learn

3) Choose a growing sector

My question to everyone is if we could compile a list of any growing technologies that others as well as myself can focus on and start our own side projects. Some that come to mind are:

-P2P

-Virtual Reality (Oculus Rift)

-Secure messaging smartphones (Cyber Dust)

-3D Printing (MakerBot)

-Wearables (Apple Watch)

-Internet of Things

-NFC (iPhone 6)

The technologies don't have to be new but ones that are growing.

I have a pretty good idea for a mobile app that I want to develop that is based on musicians and their news feeds, it is not something revolutionary but it is missing in today's world and actually something I would use everyday.

I am not a coder but my forte is in digital marketing as I have been doing it for 8 years and pretty damn good at it.

Building an app today is something that is all the rage so I know hiring a coder is going to be very costly once programming and design are included.

Anyone have advice on how I can go about doing this, should I partner with someone that can code, take the risk and invest the money to have it developed?
