Time to Learn: Java
I’ve been reading more and more into Java over the past few months. Minecraft is to blame, for the most part. But, recently, my purchase of an Android phone has peaked my interest.
After venturing into the wasteland that is known as the “Android Marketplace”, I’ve witnessed some of the worst looking applications that I’ve ever seen in my life. Not only are the applications UGLY, but most of them appear as if they were uploaded by some shady twitter bot who was trying to pass along some sort of browser exploit or trojan. It’s disgusting, and Android deserves better than that. As a designer, I cannot understand how these applications can skip a much needed “quality control”.
So, I’m going to attempt to squeeze in enough Java to create an attractive Android application and see what comes from it.
Let’s see how this goes!
(I should learn how to stick to one thing at a time… No wonder I have no social life.)
Any Java gurus out there? Do you have any tips or tricks to share?
