Making an App

Hello FAJNIE.
I have ll SIGN tta . ITS ttritt INN] I thatm
MMU ll great , and what I did
ttritt later. And I want tta It tta will
ll martin It.
I recently finished reading a book
called Rich Dad, Poor Dad
highly recommended) that
basically shows how it' s
impossible to reach most
people' s goals in life because
they get caught in the rat race.
I didn' t want to be tied to a job
for my financial survial, and
wanted to create something that could both give me
purpose, and freedom. I pursued a lot of ideas, but
landed on app design for phones.
So much money is being made by people in this new
field, and I wanted to be a part of it. But as many
neat ideas as I had for apps, I would always come
back to the same character flaw: I never seem to
finish anything. So many projects,
drawings, and ideas filled my life. And here I was
thinking about starting a programming venture? An
entire business, maybe? I could barely finish sketching
a picture, much less taking on a project.
When I started college I wanted to become a video
game maker. But that was 15 years ago, and video
games were almost exclusively created by bigger
companies. Companies that required you to start from
the bottom before you got into design. So I majored
in computer science. I hated it. They wanted us to
make boring things: text parsers, file loaders,
calculators, and perform mundane tasks in
languages. l
I knew this was I If”
all foundational stuff, Artis'
that someday they' d -aisa" t
take us beyond this Casear-''''"
to the "fun" things
programming could
do, but you have to
remember that I
didn' t even want to
program. I wanted to design.
