Have you
ever created an app before, either for Android or iPhone? How did it go?
Do you have
any ideas for apps that you could create for recreation? What about
business?
Update your
learning journal from what you experienced this week with class.
I have made a basic app for a mini-hackathon using Android
Studio about a year ago. At the time, I was using my laptop which is decent for
most computer science homework but bad at running Android Studio smoothly or
doing that database assignment that had like 10k data points to compile every
time. I had major problems working with the constraints. I had never dealt with
constraints in Eclipse window builder so this was entirely new. In the end, I
think I only got a button to go to the next page with icons that were not yet
implemented. I did meet some interesting people who went to the local UC here
and have gone on to work at one of like two tech companies in Modesto.
I would like to eventually create an app that is like a Tamogotchi
where it needs to be fed and played with or it will die. I also want to make a
study app that I started at the previously mentioned mini-hack. The idea is
that it gives you study and memorization related tasks and when you get a 7 day
streak, you can buy your reward that you specify at the beginning of the week. In
the end, you would learn many study skills and techniques like flash cards,
flash cards using spaced repetition, Cornell notes, blank document technique, cheat
sheet planning, and doing book problems even if they weren’t assigned. When
students first get to college, many are not sure how to study after cruising effortlessly
through High School, this would aid those students. Many other study apps rely
on an hours over results mentality in an effort to make it a roleplaying game.
