Hello everybody, so first video I've been wanting to do this for a bit I just want
to do a quick quick video about how I got started in making apps which I
probably don't have the same traditional route that other people have taken or
would even want to take maybe so I'd say early on if you have the desire to want
to learn and actually make something and make an app or something you feel like
is missing that's I mean that's what I decided I
always had an itch that I wanted to create something or do something with an
app it wasn't until I was actually in in Mexico spending time with my father and
reading a ton of books about about happiness and other things one of them
was the happiness advantage and I really liked the concept of three good things
and I was doing it every day in a note app and I found that kind of annoying
and I just wanted a very simple app where just one two three I could just
plug it in and then save it and then have it all for me to look back on and
then back it up every once in a while so I went out and seeked out when I got
back from Mexico this is actually a time a transition point in my life where I
actually had quit my job so in that case I did have some money and I also had
some family to help help me even thanks to my brother and his wife putting up
with me for a year during some time I so I think this is really for young people
that do have the time right now so I do because I wish I would have had someone
to tell me early on because I strangely enough I actually made my very very
first step that I published and created an Android developer account back in my
senior year of college using the old Android err Google App Inventor before
they handed it off to MIT many years ago so I made my first app doing that and it
felt good and it felt good when I my brother also encouraged me
and said you know I really appreciate that you took so much time as much as it
was just clicking and dragging boxes to create the logic of the app that's kind
of my initial story but actually getting the.. creating real
program real programs I kind of shied away from programming because I didn't
think I could do it or it didn't it wasn't I just maybe didn't have the
patience for it at the time but I know someone would have pushed me and said I
know you can do this and learn Java whatever I maybe I would have gotten an
early start I got a little bit of a head start but look you know can't can't
look back gotta just keep continue looking forward
so with that I think that's you know there's always got to be a time it's got
to be for people that do have the willingness and ability to either
build on top of something you know their free time, devote the time and the
schedule or to actually take like a break from work or a very young person
during summer breaks I think it's highly effective to actually go and build
something and learn even if you don't maybe yet are making your own app you
could at least learn how to do that and become a really good developer to be
able to do cool things into the future because I think programming is the future
or at least the current being able to live freely and move around and do
things if you have that dream as well and so for me I went out and I think I
you know I I really had to go find somewhere where I felt comfortable
actually learning and I stumbled upon a team treehouse and used their their
Android courses went through all of it got to the end did every single thing
follow the guys line by line and then I went to go make this app that I'd been
thinking about for a month or two and I had no idea where to start I was
completely lost I, I just didn't know I stared at it for
about a week straight I'd look at it I'd do some other stuff and then I just
kept coming back to and just didn't know where to start at all even though having
some little bit of an idea so even though I spent all the time learning it
wasn't until I did my own project and I had to stumble through that that I actually
started building on top of what it means to be a developer be a programmer and so
from there you know that maybe it was just some focus with fueled by a lot
of caffeine but I went and got some I went to Starbucks sat there and and just
all of a sudden things started clicking I was like this file interacts with this file
okay this does this I can use this file from this other project that I that I
did and one of the test projects because it it is an example of how the database
works this does this this interacts with that and my old early versions of my app
are incredibly ugly but once I figured that out I started just building on top
of that trying to understand all the all the different things that go into
building an Android app and the same goes for an iOS app as well I just never
really dove too far into making an iOS app but that is initially
my story of how I got started why I made an app and then through the years I've
had my app out for three some years now I'd only update it every so often and I'd
always tell myself I didn't know how to do some feature build something and I'd
have a user email me about it and I'd be like oh I don't know if I can do that
and I you know tell them set expectations but then like when I was
bored one time and I'd go and do it and it'd take me three four hours because
you once you have the ability to find the answers someone has already done it
already so you can just as long as you have an idea what to make in your head
someone has already done it and then you ask the right questions and go find it
by googling going to stack overflow finding example projects there's a lot
of people with open source projects digging into their file structures and
trying to understand how are their other stuff is interacting there's always a
little thing called libraries when it comes to developing apps frameworks that
allows you to kind of not recreate the wheel so like you could be a really
stellar developer and I know I'm not to that level where people are just creating all
the supporter classes and helper classes and all these different things
to help other things work and I just use other people's frameworks you plug
it in to your app one line of code and makes it much much faster to develop and
then there's always examples and people that have if you which I could talk
about it in a later video but.. Github.. and finding other excellent resources to
be able to to build to build off of and build from so that's my story of getting
started so really just if you want to make something you have that desire go
find somewhere where to learn Udacity Team Treehouse right now Udemy has a
really good deal for $12 classes I actually signed up for a bunch and for
the next four or five days this this week when the video is out and then just
start doing it following it and then when you as you're doing it think about
other things think about little ideas simple ideas don't don't think you want
to create Uber or Instagram or whatever because you'll just tire yourself out
and you'll never make it think about a really simple idea that you want to
create that does one or one or two things very easily and simple and then
just go start making that and think about where you can all the example
projects you use think about what you can pull from those projects to make the
idea that you want to make and then from there hopefully you can have a basis
that you've already you've already sparked something in your brain to want
to keep going and keep learning and and building it because I know I'm kind of
at that point now that I'm working on my app again where I'm learning stuff that
I know it gives me tools where I'm like okay if I make this app what can I
actually do with this and maybe turn it into something else or tweak it or or do
something else with it in the future so that's my my advice to you is just start
go find somewhere to learn go go look at the initial documentation on the
go Google Android get started and go find the documentation download
Android Studio for developing Android or for developing iOS if you have
a Mac to do iOS apps go download Xcode to get started and find some
coursework to go start doing example projects so that's my advice and getting
started with mobile developments
