Self Growth
During the last few days, I have experimented with using Android Studios to design a new app. A customer had recommended using Udacity as a learning vehicle. Everything was so new and the whole process was exciting. I was able to create a simple greeting card and even got a tutorial application to run on my phone. Just Java 1.0 was up and running. I was so excited I shared the fledgling app with my brothers, who were not too impressed. Of course the app at the time was only able to calculate how much it would cost for x number of coffees if each coffee cost $5 but that was not the point, I had created it and it was working and it was wonderful. With a bit more tinkering, I was able to add some more functions then suddenly DOOOM! There was some type of bug in the code and now the app was no longer running. It was hard to distinguish where the bug was located and trying to figure out if I was missing a letter, a command, a definition, a comma or a some other tiny little mark. I tried doing Ctrl+Z to undo the damage but no luck. I searched and dug through forums and webpages for assistance, but what I tried likely broke it even further. At this point not only was my fledgling app no longer functioning, even the program for writing it was down as well. I was devastated. The nuclear option would be the only way, uninstalling then reinstalling the entire system. I will have to start from the ground up, putting back the pieces of Android Studio to it's original glory before I can even hope to get my app going again. I wonder if they called this app Just Java because they knew we would need quite a few coffees to get it going.
