May 26–29: What Next?

What next?

iPhone App

If you are making an iPhone app, and you are almost finished, it's time to think about putting together the materials you'll need to submit your app to the App Store. I've posted articles, lists, and videos for you to take a look at.

One thing you'll certainly need is an app icon. So do that if you haven't done so already. Make all the different sizes, and install them into the right places in the assets folder.

If you are making an iPhone app, think about recreating it as a web app. You already have all the images, sounds, and data it takes to make your app, so go ahead and make an HTML version of it. By making a web app, you'll

• gain extra practice using HTML to make a web app, and
• post an app that could be used by Android users as well as Apple users.

Web App

If you are making a web app, think back to when we were using Swift and storyboards and think about how you might be able to make an iOS app if we were back in the classroom, if you obtained a Mac, or if you took another class in college. Think about what features you could add that aren't available on the web, such as camera, gyroscope, accelerometer, etc.

Portfolio

You can add your web app directly into your portfolio and people can run it there.

You can't run your iOS app on the web, but you could take screen shots and write up your app on a new page in your portfolio.

Final Project and Grades

Your final project is due this coming Friday, May 29. I'm not sure if there will still be time for a redo next week if necessary, so make sure to get me an update by Friday, May 29.

There is a blog post with your final grade for both SVCTE and Mission College credit. Your grade can go either up or down this week depending on how much work you continue to turn in or not turn in.

Letters of Competency

I have not signed the LOCs yet, but I have calculated the numbers. 5 people in the afternoon class are getting all 4's across the board. 7 people are getting some lower numbers. I used more assignments in the calculations, such as the Apple in SVG for your math number and the Apple in Adobe for Adobe skills number. Take a look at the article for more information.

Canvas

There is a discussion forum for you to use. Ask and answer questions.

Summer School

You could take a programming course at a community college this summer. See the blog post.
