Hello World

Step 1 = Complete

It actually wasn't anywhere near as hard as I thought it would be, But I actually made and tested an application, it's on my phone right at this moment telling me that it's alive and working, Don't get me wrong, I'm aware of how very small this step is, even an infant could do it, but the fact that I could get THIS far and not encounter any crippling problems (Unlike with Nokia and their "you need to ask us for a certificate per application before you can do anything" philosophy) is pretty awesome... The only thing is, now I have to learn Java... Which is kind of a good thing, seeing as I've been meaning to do it for a while anyway...

It's pretty exciting to see something you programmed come up and tell you that it's (relatively) alive and kicking.

Android Developer

For a while (going on 6 years now) I've wanted to develop applications for phones, and seeing as developing anything for a nokia's symbian is like flogging a dead horse, I've decided to start making applications for my Galaxy S2... and possibly other phones (we'll see, I don't intend on making anything big)

At the moment my Number 1. Goal is to make a very simple application that will work.

Right Now, It doesn't matter if it lags, or eats the battery really fast... (most likely due to really BAD non-malicious coding, or possibly really GOOD malicious coding haha)

In the distant future (If I make something that I consider a decent idea) I intend to make $0.99 applications, but we'll see... that's getting a bit ahead of myself at the moment...

I'd be happy with something that just says "Hello World"

So yeah, if you're interested in what I might have to offer keep an eye on this blog / my twitter feed because I'll most likely talk about it if anything new happens.

I'll also be posting screen shots of what I'm doing...

Still... I can dream...

Samsung Galaxy S2

On the 27th I got a new samsung galaxy s 2. It's a pretty cool phone, very fast and has many applications and the best part about it would be that it's not made by apple, So I don't have to deal with any of their shit... like Itunes.

It's nice to have a phone that doesn't require anything to be installed prior to using it... or putting music on it, or videos, or pictures, plus the fact that everything is easily synk'd with social networking sites makes things even better, seeing as it's just a password away.

Oh, and to show how much I like this phone and how cool the applications can be, ninety percent of the text on this post is from me talking into the phone and it writing it down for me, which is going to make blogging for me a whole lot more interesting... Well, at least on new years anyway haha
