Google Day 1

GOALS:
Learn what the basic programming and coding is needed to create an app that could be approved by Apple.
Begin with the process of learning the basic programming and code.
Figure out what is the program needed to create the app and download it.

What I learned:

I learned that mosync is one of the few programs for coding apps that runs on PC. Also, I realized that I will need to learn to use C/C++ language to be able to code this app. I now know how to create a basic app that when it runs, it says, "Hello World" (I did this at home before today). Although the previous fact I need to improve and refine my knowledge on it. I also learned the internet connection at school is so bad that I was unable to download the program: Mosync. Although it doesn't relate, I helped Sebastian with his masking on Photoshop, and learned that too, while Mosync attempted to download.

Google 20%

Which skills do you want to learn?
I am interested in creating apps for iOS, the software that runs on Apple handheld devices. This interest me because it is the future of the web and business. I am going to need to know how to create a basic iPhone app. After completing this process I will be able to analyze the different levels of difficulty in the app world. I might need to research about cross-platform apps, since these are the only ones that can be created on a PC. Although I could use X-Code Developer Tools to create the app, but that would be at home, since I own a desktop MAC. Eventually I might get into the topic and create more than one app, but for the sake of time and efficiency I will just create one.

How will you present it?
I will show my app to the class on an iPad throughout the VGA adapter. Yet, if my app is not approved by Apple I will show the screenshots of the developing of my app. I sure do hope that my app is accepted by iTunes. I will present the app and let others download it, since it will be free. If any complications arise, I will have to improvise my form of presentation.
