The experience itself was invaluable in learning things like this. In the end I actually did ship a product, just one that had nothing to do with mobile.

They needed someone to rewrite a stagnant product they offered their clients. Essentially it was a white-label online wizard for selling accessory products to auto loans. All the sales logic itself was handled by a backend elsewhere, I just wrote a front end for it and tool for quickly creating a custom version with a client's logo and color scheme.

In the end I learned some .Net, some Javascript and even more about working within a large organization. I don't regret that summer at all.
