The road to my first app

Hello,

The first time I had my own PC was aroud the year 2000. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was coming up the stairs when I heard my mom say “Come quick we have a suprise for you”. Thinking it is a toy or a tv I would have never imagined it is a PC. It was 486 PC with a 15 inch monitor all white, all shiny. I think a tear of joy was sitting in the corner of my eye and I was stunned for a few minutes.

Since then I always wanted to unterstand how it works and how can I alter the code and create my own programs. My imagination was working non stop thinking of what I could build  starting from creating cool things and pushing it near to hacking NASA :))

Trying to control the software I attended a highschool with extra courses on Computer Science and there I found pascal program. With this choice I hit a wall because it was never how I imagined it would be.

Four years later I thought I could create robots to interact with the world but yet again I hit wall. After the four years at the university I realized that my dreams and my ideas will never be understood by any school. So I pursued my other passion which was web development which I still enjoy today. But, on the back of my head,  I was always thinking for something that could offer me the chance to build something from my own ideas and imagination, something where the possibilities are endless. And then I found Apple Developer program.

While proving  myself that I can really create games, Flying Zuzzi emerged.

Train your body

Hello,

The objectives for mid #2015noexcuses are:

  1. Building an iOS app
  2. Complete 500km of running.

From my previous posts you can find out that MOOV was a disappointment so I stopped running. After some research on iTunes I found the Nike Running app which is free to use.

Nike running is great app for tracking your runs and also provides you with a personal coach.

I enrolled in a intermediate 5k running program which stretches over 8 weeks with a total of 200km. I am currently at the end of the week #3 and I feel awesome.

Check out my first 3 weeks:
